When their respective relationships ended, Gomez said she and Swift turned to each other for support. She said they became best friends in the process.

“And then we just stuck around for all the ups and downs that came after, and here we are now 16 years later,” she said.

Taylor Swift spoke at Selena Gomez’s wedding

Swift recently spoke at Gomez’s wedding. A source who attended the reception said Swift gave an emotional speech about the friendship.

“Taylor gave an extremely heartfelt speech at the wedding,” a source told Us Weekly. “She went into depth and talked about how over the years she saw Selena on the floor crying, mentioning exes, Selena having a broken heart, and saying how happy she is that Selena has Benny [Blanco] now.”

Swift, who is also engaged, said, “It is a best friend’s dream for her best friend to find someone like Benny and is so happy for her.”

The ‘Reputation’ singer’s romance with Joe Jonas didn’t end well

While Gomez said she still knew and loved Nick Jonas, Swift did not always feel that way about Joe. She has publicly blasted him for the way he broke up with her.

“Some day, I’m gonna find somebody really, really, really great, who’s right for me …” she said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “When I find that person that is right for me, he’ll be wonderful, and when I look at that person, I’m not even gonna be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.”

Jonas defended himself against Swift’s claims about the brevity of the call.

“For those who have expressed concern over the ’27 second’ phone call, I called to discuss feelings with the other person,” he said on his MySpace (via People). “Those feelings were obviously not well received. I did not end the conversation. Someone else did. Phone calls can only last as long as the person on the other end of the line is willing to talk.”
