Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez on stage together in 2018Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez on stage together in 2018

Selena Gomez had a flood of celebrities in her mentions after announcing her engagement on Wednesday – with one obvious stand-out.

The Only Murders On The Building star announced her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco on Instagram, writing: “Forever begins now.”

It didn’t take long for her famous friends, former collaborators and A-list collaborators to pop up in the comments, with Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cardi B, Lil Nas X, Lily Collins and Suki Waterhouse among those celebrating the news.

Our favourite of the lot, though, came from Taylor Swift, Selena’s BFF.

The Anti-Hero singer wrote simply: “Yes I will be the flower girl.”

Meanwhile, Benny himself also stopped by the comments section, where he wrote: “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”

Selena and Taylor’s friendship goes back almost two decades, after they met while they were both dating members of the Jonas Brothers in 2008.

Taylor told WSJ in 2020: “There has always been this quality of sisterhood, and I don’t say that in a basic way. I knew from when I met her I would always have her back.

“In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don’t know if I can forgive someone who hurts her.”

Selena added: “There’s so much of my friendship with Taylor that people don’t know about because we don’t necessarily feel the need to post about everything we do.

“She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected. Flown in because I was hurt and was going through something. Stuff that was going on with my family.

“It’s been proven year after year and in every moment of my life that she is one of my best friends in the world. We don’t agree on everything, but we respect each other with everything.”

Selena even played a key role in Taylor’s star-studded Bad Blood music video, released in 2015.
