From teen romance connections to lifelong sisterhood — Selena shares the sweet origin of her bond with Taylor.

A Friendship Born in the Spotlight

August 7, 2025: Selena Gomez is opening up about how her decades-long friendship with Taylor Swift first began — and it all started with a pair of teen heartthrobs. In a recent interview, the “Love On” singer revealed that she and Swift first met when they were both dating Jonas Brothers back in 2008.

“She was the girl with the big curls and the guitar, and I was just this Disney kid,” Selena laughed. “We instantly clicked.”

Teen Romance Sparked Sisterhood

Gomez was dating Nick Jonas while Swift was linked to Joe Jonas at the time, but instead of rivalry, the pair formed a tight bond behind the scenes. “It was kind of hilarious how we met,” Selena said. “But what started as this funny connection over boys turned into one of the most important relationships in my life.”

Still Going Strong After 15+ Years

Now, years later, the two are still inseparable — constantly supporting each other through album drops, award shows, and personal milestones. “She’s been there for me through everything — heartbreaks, career highs and lows, mental health battles… all of it,” Selena shared. “Taylor’s like a sister to me.”

Fans have long admired the duo’s unwavering loyalty and iconic BFF moments, from surprise concert appearances to viral selfies and public support.
