Here’s What Selena Gomez Has to Say About Sharing Her Engagement Era With ‘Bestie’ Taylor Swift

Longtime best friends Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have shared a lot over the years — and now they get to share their engagement journeys.

On Wednesday (Aug. 27) — the day after Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce shared that they’re getting married following two years of dating — Gomez shared the news on her Instagram Stories with the message: “When bestie gets engaged 🥰.”

Gomez herself is also engaged, sharing the news back in December that she and pop producer Benny Blanco are getting married. “forever begins now..,” Gomez captioned the Instagram announcement, with Swift responding in the comments: “Yes I will be the flower girl.”

In a second Instagram Stories post on Wednesday night, Gomez also shared a fan-made meme from X user @solelynostalgia. The meme shows a quote-tweet of a 2009 post from Swift, in which she wrote to Gomez: “Real love still happens sometimes. It’s not just something we make up when we’re nine. I have to believe that. You do too.” Above that nearly two-decade-old tweet, a message reads, “16 years later,” above side-by-side images of Swift and Gomez’s engagement photos.

While they haven’t shared a wedding date, Gomez and Blanco’s nuptials are rumored to be coming very soon, with the girls trip the singer/actress was on this past weekend reported to be her bachelorette party.

Swift and Gomez have been friends since 2008 — the year before Taylor’s sweet Twitter message about love. Their friendship started when they were both dating Jonas Brothers (Taylor dated Joe while Selena dated Nick), and Gomez said after their respective breakups: “I like to say the best thing we got out of those relationships was each other.”
