AceShowbiz - From singing about heartbreak to celebrating love, best friends Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift share a bond that goes beyond the music charts. Their friendship is built on a foundation of mutual respect, honesty, and unflinching support, which was highlighted in Gomez's recent iHeartRadio interview.
The firmer Disney darling revealed the touching moments she and Swift shared when previewing her new music, particularly the 2019 single "Lose You to Love Me."
According to Gomez, Swift and her mother were moved to tears upon hearing the song for the first time. "She and her amazing mom started to cry and then I started crying. It's very sweet," Gomez recalled.
She highlighted that she values Swift's honest opinions, often seeking her feedback before finalizing her albums. "I value her opinion so much because she's super honest," Gomez said. "I like to see what she thinks."
"She definitely will say, 'That one's okay. I think that one's good,' It's just very helpful," Gomez shared.
Swift, lauded for her own songwriting prowess, reciprocates Gomez's trust. "I would never be like, 'That's a terrible song,' because she's so freaking good!" Gomez added, emphasizing the admiration they have for each other's work.
Gomez's new album, "I Said I Love You First," which she collaborated on with her fiance Benny Blanco, was praised by Swift soon after it's released. The "Fortnight" singer took to Instagram to publicly endorse the album, "@selenagomez & @bennyblanco I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH. OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD." Gomez reposted the heartfelt message with, "Love you, Tay."
The "Only Murders in the Building" star also gushed about her pal once in a separate interview, "The most influential artist, for me, it is kind of Taylor."
"Not because she's my friend, but she has been an artist that can transition into so many different genres and she is able to do it seamlessly and I admire that so much. And that's so rare. I love her process and I just admire all the work that she's done. She's definitely inspired me."
