Selena Gomez just reminded the world that her decades-long friendship with Taylor Swift started the way many teen friendships do, with boyfriends and feelings! On August 6, 2025, a new episode of the Therapuss podcast was released, and Selena shared how they first bonded while she dated Nick and Taylor dated Joe Jonas. They quickly became friends following their breakups: “We didn’t know what we were doing,” Selena joked, “but we got each other out of it.”
This all happened while back in Taylor Swift’s curly-hair era, with the two sticking by one another through the ups and downs in their relationships. Over 16 years later, this pair had turned into the ultimate dynamic duo, cheering each other on professionally to having the coolest girls’ night out. It looks like Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift have kept it real despite fame, breakups, and everything in between.
The Only Murders in the Building” actor also revealed a sweet music memory: The first song Taylor ever played for her was Love Story, long before it became the hit we know today. “It was one of the most beautiful songs I’d ever heard,” she revealed, remembering how her friend nervously introduced it in a hotel room. Who would’ve thought that even when their teen love stories ended, their own chapter would continue to be written? Talk about #FriendshipGoals!
