Selena Gomez is feeling the love from her longtime best friend Taylor Swift, and she’s not shy about how much that support means to her, especially when it comes to her music.
During a recent interview with reporter Emily Curl, Gomez reflected on Swift’s enthusiastic shout-out for her new project.
The moment came after Swift shared the cover art for Gomez’s I Said I Love You First album on Instagram, along with an outpouring of praise: “I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD.”
The post quickly gained attention, with iHeartRadio amplifying the sweet interaction on X (formerly Twitter), as Gomez continued promoting her deeply personal album, which she created in collaboration with her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
“I Value Her Opinion So Much”
When asked how she felt about Swift’s public support, the Only Murders in the Building star responded with heartfelt appreciation.
“With Taylor, I value her support and her opinion so much because she’s super honest,” Gomez said. “She’s someone whose feedback I really trust.”
That trust isn’t new. Gomez revealed that Swift has long been a sounding board for her music. Before releasing any new tracks, she often shares early versions with Swift to get her thoughts. “I’ve always played her the top two songs from my albums before they come out just to see what she thinks.”
A Friendship Built on Honesty and Emotion
Gomez and Swift’s friendship spans nearly two decades, and one of its most meaningful aspects is their emotional connection through music. Swift doesn’t sugarcoat her opinions—something Gomez values deeply.
“Sometimes it’s like, ‘OK, that’s good,’ but then there are songs she calls knockouts,” Gomez explained.
One standout moment she recalled was when she shared “Lose You to Love Me” with Swift before it was released. The response was unforgettable.
“She and her amazing mom started crying—and then I started crying,” Gomez said. “It was just very sweet.”
