Selena Gomez Celebrates ‘Bestie’ Taylor Swift’s Engagement to Travis Kelce
From teenage dreams to real-life love stories, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift celebrate each other’s engagements with heartfelt tributes and timeless friendship.
Pop icons and longtime friends share sweet throwbacks and heartfelt words as their love stories come full circle
Welcome to the club, Taylor Swift!
Selena Gomez, who got engaged last year to record producer Benny Blanco, couldn’t contain her joy as she celebrated her best friend Taylor Swift’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce. Taking to Instagram, Gomez reshared Swift’s engagement photos with the caption: “When bestie gets engaged.”
The actress and singer also posted a touching throwback titled “16 years later”—a collage that included engagement photos from both couples alongside a 2009 tweet from Swift. In the old message, Swift wrote to Gomez: “@selenagomez Real love still happens sometimes. It’s not just something we make up when we’re nine. I have to believe that. You do too.” The nostalgic moment struck a chord with fans, underscoring the pair’s steadfast friendship through the years.
The two stars, who have been close since their teenage years, have long supported one another in their personal and professional milestones. During a joint appearance on Hot Ones earlier this year, Benny Blanco revealed that Gomez had turned him into a Swiftie: “Now I’m like, ‘Put that song on’—we’re in the car, singing Taylor Swift songs from 10 years ago, and I feel free.”
Swift, in turn, was equally enthusiastic when Gomez got engaged, playfully commenting on social media: “Yes, I will be the flower girl.”
Now, with both women embracing new chapters in their love stories, fans are celebrating not only their engagements but also the enduring bond of one of pop culture’s most beloved friendships.
