Selena Gomez delighted fans on Monday by sharing the first official photos of herself and longtime best friend Taylor Swift taken at her recent wedding to Benny Blanco.

‘In honor of SHOWGIRL … blessed to have you by my side almost 20 years later gator! I love you,’ Gomez, 33, captioned her Instagram post, referencing Swift’s newly-released album The Life of a Showgirl.

The carousel of images shows Swift, 35, fussing over the bride in a shimmering peach-sequin gown while Gomez beams in her strapless white dress and veil.

In one playful shot, Swift leans in with a cocktail as Gomez puckers up beside her; another captures the pair sharing a tight hug under strings of glowing lights at the evening reception.

She also included footage of the Actually Romantic hitmaker recording her getting ready before walking down the aisle. 

‘Are you even serious right now?’ Swift said as she marveled over Gomez’s stunning bridal makeup. ‘What? Look at her. Oh, my God! Oh, my God!’

Gomez, then gushed: ‘I’m so happy, I’m getting married! Finally!’ 

Fans flooded the comments with emotion, celebrating the enduring bond between the pair, who first met as teenagers while dating Jonas brothers in the late 2000s. 

‘I’m gonna cry, the absolute sweetest friendship.. or let me say sisterhood!! LOVE seeing you happy, being loved and being surrounded by the best people possible!’ wrote one admirer.

Another wrote: ‘Your happiness is radiating, truly infectious!! Looooove to see you happy.’ 

‘To think Selena will be doing the same for Taylor in a few months their friendship is everything,’ a third predicted following Swift’s own recent engagement. 

It’s unclear whether Swift officially served as a bridesmaid, but she took on several of the traditional roles — including delivering a heartfelt speech. 

In addition to Swift’s appearance at the ceremony, she delivered a heartfelt speech, according to insiders.

On the Friday before the wedding, Swift had joined other A-listers, including Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin, for a rehearsal dinner at a mansion in the private community of Hope Ranch.

'In honor of SHOWGIRL … blessed to have you by my side almost 20 years later gator! I love you,' Gomez, 33, captioned the post, referencing Swift's newly-released album The Life of a Showgirl

The main nuptials on Saturday night were held at nearby Sea Crest Nursery, a 17-acre palm-filled paradise spilling onto the Santa Barbara cliffside. 

And it was there, next to the beating Pacific, that Swift, 35, delivered a tear-jerking speech in honor of her beloved ‘sister’ Gomez.

As one insider told the Daily Mail, Swift’s speech was ‘so beautiful that some guests were crying.’ Unsurprisingly, Gomez was among those who found herself reaching for a tissue. 

During the sweet speech, it is understood that Swift ‘talked about how she and Selena have both been through so much together both professionally and personally,’ and ‘said that whenever one of them had their hearts broken from failed relationship over the years, they were always there for each other.’

Swift, who has famously catalogued her ‘long list of ex-lovers’ in her pop music, told the gathered guests that it was only ‘when Selena finally came to the realization that she was just fine with who she was and concentrated on being just her that she fell in love with Benny.’ 

She added that Blanco, 37, and Gomez were a ‘perfect pair’ – surely a well deserved title after Gomez’s years of romantic turmoil with on-and-off ex Justin Bieber – and that ‘in all the years she has known Selena, she has never seen her so happy.’

Fans flooded the comments with emotion, celebrating the enduring bond between the pair, who first met as teenagers while dating Jonas brothers in the late 2000s

A second source told the Daily Mail that Swift talked about ‘always having Selena’s back and how they are sisters – and that while Selena may see Taylor as the big sister, Taylor sees Selena as teaching her so much.’ 

Swift, of course, is gearing up for her own wedding, having recently announced her engagement to football player Travis Kelce.

As such, Swift ‘joked in the speech that Selena beat her to altar but at least they both have found the loves of their lives.’

She also called Blanco ‘the most perfect person’ for Gomez, before declaring: ‘It isn’t luck that they found each other, it’s love.’

While appearing on y SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up on Monday, Swift gushed about what it was like to attend Gomez’s wedding, believed to have cost around $4 million. 

‘Not just the most beautiful bride, just like the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,’ Swift said. ‘I’m just so happy, and she deserves it so much. And you only wish that for people, you know?’
