“It was the best thing we got out of those relationships,” Gomez joked in a 2017 interview. She added, “[Taylor] was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked.”
Both Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez opened up about their friendship in a January 2020 interview with the Wall Street Journal. The Only Murders in the Building star said that Swift “has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected.”
Swift added, “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,” she continued. “But I don’t know if I can forgive someone who hurts her.”
