Selena Gomez, 32, addressed speculation about her friendship with Taylor Swift in an interview with Vanity Fair on Monday, September 9. Rumors had been circulating that the longtime friends had grown apart.
Gomez, known for her hit song “Love On,” dispelled the rumors, describing Swift as “really like a big sister” to her. The two last appeared together at the Golden Globe Awards in January before their busy schedules took them in different directions. Swift has been occupied with her Eras Tour, while Gomez has been focusing on projects like “Only Murders in the Building” and “Wizards of Waverly Place.”
Rumors of a rift intensified as Swift was frequently seen with other friends, including Blake Lively, Brittany Mahomes, Ice Spice, and Lana Del Rey, during breaks from her tour. However, Gomez remains committed to her friendship with Swift, standing by her through thick and thin.
Their friendship dates back to 2008, when they bonded over their shared experiences of dating members of the Jonas Brothers.
