BFFs in Love: Selena Gomez Cheers Taylor Swift's Engagement While Celebrating Her Own!

Selena Gomez congratulated her best friend Taylor Swift on her engagement as she celebrated both of them being in their engagement eras

SHE SAID YES! Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez's Friendship is About to Get Even Deeper

In a move that's got everyone talking, pop superstar Taylor Swift has announced her engagement to football player Travis Kelce. And as expected, her best friend and fellow songstress Selena Gomez was quick to congratulate her on the exciting news.

Just 24 hours after Swift's big reveal, Gomez took to Instagram to shower her BFF with love and support. The 33-year-old actress reposted one of the stunning photos from Swift's engagement photoshoot, captioning it "When bestie gets engaged". She also shared a tweet from their friendship anniversary, where they both gushed about having found love.

But what's even more fascinating is the story behind their decades-long friendship. It all began when they were just teenagers and dated members of the Jonas Brothers - Swift was linked to Joe, while Gomez was with Nick. In an interview on the podcast "Therapuss", Gomez revealed that she and Swift bonded over their respective breakups and became close friends.

"It was cute," Gomez reminisced about their teenage romance. "We were young, we didn't know what we were doing." But what really caught everyone's attention is her memory of hearing Swift sing "Love Story" in a hotel room before it was even released to the public.

"I remember it vividly," Gomez gushed about that special moment. "It was just one of those songs I instantly heard and thought, 'This is one of the most beautiful songs ever'." She also praised her friend's versatility, saying, "She's a chameleon - she's incredible."

And now, with both Swift and Gomez navigating their engagement eras, fans can't help but wonder what the future holds for these two BFFs. As Gomez prepares to tie the knot with music producer Benny Blanco (just weeks after Swift's big news), it's clear that their friendship is about to get even deeper.

Just last year, Gomez got engaged to Blanco in a romantic proposal, and she's been celebrating her engagement with a bachelorette party in Mexico over the weekend. While Swift wasn't there to join the fun (rumors have it that Gomez wanted to keep the celebration low-key), their friendship is still going strong.

In fact, fans are loving how both Swift and Gomez are now experiencing life's milestones together - from engagement to marriage and beyond. As Gomez marked her 16-year friendship anniversary with Swift on social media, she shared a heartwarming post that read: "Discussing love with two 9-yr-olds... That's what love is supposed to be."

She also reposted a tweet of her and her best friend with their respective fiancés as she marked their 16-year friendship anniversary. Their engagement photos were accompanied by Swift's 2009 tweet about 'real love,' which resurfaced amid their engagement news

Swift responded to Gomez's tweet back in 2009 (yes, over a decade ago!) with some sage advice, saying, "Real love still happens sometimes. It's not just something we make up when we're nine. I have to believe that. You do too." Little did they know at the time that their words would become a prophetic message for their future selves.

So, as Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez embark on this new chapter of their lives, one thing is certain - their friendship will continue to inspire fans around the world. And who knows? Maybe we'll even get some exclusive deets about their respective weddings!
