Taylor Swift gave an emotional — and funny — speech at her best friend and “sister” Selena Gomez’s wedding to Benny Blanco.

Gomez, 33, and Blanco, 37, wed on Saturday at the Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, Calif., surrounded by around 170 loved ones, including Swift.

During the ceremony, the pop superstar, who became engaged to Travis Kelce last month, humorously mentioned, according to the Daily Mail, that Selena had reached the altar first. However, she noted the positive side, acknowledging that they both have discovered the loves of their lives.

While at some points humorous, the speech was overall “so beautiful” that it left the bride and several guests “crying,” per the outlet.

Swift, aged 35, was said to have expressed how she has “always been there for Selena and how they consider each other sisters.” Although Selena might regard Taylor as an older sister, Taylor appreciates Selena for the many lessons she has imparted to her.

Another source revealed to the Daily Mail that the “Blank Space” artist, also 35, reflected on their shared experiences, both in their careers and personal lives. She remarked that whenever either of them suffered heartbreak from past relationships, they were always supportive of one another.

Swift reportedly told guests that it was only when the “Lose You to Love Me” songstress “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 went on to call music producer Blanco “the most perfect person” for her pal.

“It isn’t luck that they found each other; it’s love,” she added, according to the outlet.

Swift also reportedly described the newlyweds as the “perfect pair,” noting that “in all the years she has known Selena, she has never seen her so happy.”

Gomez and Blanco began dating in the summer of 2023, as did Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.

When Gomez and Blanco announced their engagement in December 2024, Swift publicly joked that she would be their flower girl.
