Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift showcase their enduring friendship in adorable selfies. Find out how they celebrated their bond.
Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are the epitome of friendship goals. This past weekend, 31-year-old Selena Gomez brightened up her Instagram feed by posting a couple of charming selfies taken during an alfresco meal with her longtime friend Taylor Swift, who is 33. The setting was as breathtaking as their friendship, featuring a tranquil ocean view and a clear blue sky.
The first photo showed Gomez resting her face against Swift's shoulder while they both smiled warmly for the camera. In the next selfie, Taylor turned to Selena and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek, which Selena reciprocated with a playful puckering of her lips.
To set the mood, Gomez captioned the post using lyrics from the hit 2021 song "Best Friend" by Doja Cat and Saweetie, writing, "Thas my best frien - she a real bad."
The Instagram post comes just days after the duo were seen sharing a heartfelt hug at the MTV Video Music Awards. Selena had a lighthearted comment about their appearance at the awards show, joking on her Instagram Story about her own expression by saying, "She looks stunning, I look constipated," followed by the word "Typical."
Both artists had an evening to remember at the awards ceremony. Taylor Swift took home a staggering nine awards, including the highly sought-after "Video of the Year" for her song "Anti-Hero." Selena Gomez, for her part, won the "Best Afrobeats" award along with Nigerian artist Rema for their joint song "Calm Down."
At the awards show, Taylor was right there to cheer on Selena as she took the stage to accept her award. She clapped, jumped for joy, and sent kisses Selena's way, showcasing the kind of friendship that goes beyond just social media posts.
Speaking of which, Taylor never misses a chance to support Selena online. Most recently, she celebrated the release of Selena's first single in nearly a year, aptly titled "Single Soon," as yet another testament to their unwavering friendship.
