Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift have shared a strong, supportive friendship for years, particularly when it comes to their music.
In a recent interview, Gomez revealed that one of her most personal songs moved Swift to tears, along with her mother, upon first listen.
Speaking with iHeartRadio, Gomez shared that she always plays her unreleased music for Swift before making it public.
“She’ll definitely give her opinion, like, ‘That one’s okay’ or ‘That one’s good,’” Gomez said while promoting her new album, I Said I Love You First. “It’s really helpful.”
However, one song had an especially emotional impact—her 2019 ballad Lose You to Love Me.
“When I played it for her before it came out, she and her amazing mom started crying, and then I started crying. It was very sweet,” Gomez recalled.
She also emphasized how much she values Swift’s honest feedback, saying, “I like to see what she thinks.”
Though Swift’s team did not comment, the pop star has been vocal about her admiration for Gomez’s work.
Over the weekend, following the release of I Said I Love You First, Swift expressed her excitement on Instagram, writing, “@selenagomez & @bennyblanco I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD.” Gomez later reposted the message, responding, “Love you, Tay.”
Beyond their friendship, fans have speculated that Gomez’s latest album contains references to her past relationship with Justin Bieber.
Songs like How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten and Young and Hotter Than Me have been interpreted as subtle nods to the pop star and his wife, Hailey Bieber.
From heartfelt musical moments to unwavering support, Gomez and Swift continue to uplift each other in their careers.
As Gomez’s latest album sparks conversation for both its emotional depth and rumored lyrical references, one thing remains certain—her music continues to strike a chord, especially with her closest friend.
