Taylor Swift agreed to be a “flower girl” in Selena Gomezwedding with Benny Blanco.
Gidy Gomez, 32, announced her engagement Blanco, 36, via Instagram on Wednesday, Dec. 11, flashing her diamond ring and writing, “forever begins now…”
Soon after, Swift — a longtime friend of Gomez — appeared in the comments section of her post.
“Yes, I will be the flower girl,” the singer wrote, prompting almost 60,000 “likes” in just 20 minutes.
Swift, 34, and Gomez share a close bond for more than 15 years. They originally crossed paths in 2008 on a double date with Joe Jonas and Nick Jonasthat is,
“We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical,” Gomez recalled during a radio interview in 2017. “It was amazing, because (Taylor) was a girl with big curly hair and all the bracelets and cowboy boots. And I was definitely on the rise, and we just clicked.”

Neither Swift nor Gomez found lasting love with Joe or Nick, but they did find a supportive best friend in each other. The two women often touted each other’s career successes and shut down any trolls or arguments along the way.
“I never fit in with the cool group of girls who were celebrities,” Gomez said Rolling Stone in 2022. “My only friend in the industry is really Taylor, so I remember feeling like I didn’t belong. I felt the presence of everyone around me living a full life. I had this position, and I was really happy, but… was I? Do these materialistic things make me happy? I just didn’t like who I was, because I didn’t know who I was.”
In April 2023 Actress nominated for a Golden Globe brought little sister Gracie to Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour. The two wore their Swiftie-era favorites for the performance: Gomez dressed as Folklore for the event, and Gracie — who was gifted a hat by the “All Too Well” artist during the show — rocked purple Speak now dress and ponytail.
“Thank you, friend, for transporting me and my girlfriend to your mystical, euphoric and special world.” Proud to know you! love you forever and always” Just the murders in the building star written via Instagram to her best friend.
A few months later, Gomez dropped her first new song in two years, titled “Single Soon.”
Swift, for her part, took to Instagram to praise the record, writing: “When (your) best friend is the best. I think they’ll be dancing to this forever.”
The following year, Gomez and Swift were all smiles as they posed for a photo at the 81st Golden Globe Awards. Cameras later caught the duo gossiping about the night’s events with Miles Tellerwoman, Keleigh Teller.
After the video went viral, Gomez explained via Instagram that she “told Taylor about two of my friends hooking up. Not that it’s (anyone’s) business.”
