TAYLOR SWIFT SPILLS ALL THE TEA ON SELENA GOMEZ'S FAIRYTALE WEDDING

The ultimate BFF duo, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez, are giving us all the feels with their adorable wedding celebration! In a juicy new interview on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Taylor dished out all the deets about her speech at Selena's lavish nuptials to Benny Blanco.

And let's just say, it was LOVE. ABSOLUTE. BLISS.

The singer's appearance came just hours after her longtime pal Gomez, 33, shared behind-the-scenes photos of them from her wedding to Benny Blanco, 37, last month

When asked about her speech, Taylor revealed that she made sure not to upstage the bride by mentioning her own engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce. "Nobody wants you to be like, 'Hey, I know this is your wedding day but...'" she laughed, playfully pointing to her massive diamond ring, which reportedly costs a whopping $700,000-$1 million!

But Taylor didn't leave it at that. Oh no! She went on to share some hilarious light-hearted jokes about their teenage years in 2008, when they first met. "We used to dress like totally different people back then," she teased. "I was like a sparkly unicorn, and Selena was... well, still super gorgeous!"

But what really got our hearts melting was Taylor's heartfelt praise for Selena as the most beautiful bride she's ever seen. "She looked like an absolute vision on her wedding day," Taylor gushed. "I've never seen anything so stunning in my life."

While Swift, who's engaged to NFL star Travis Kelce, 36, admitted that she did make a speech at the wedding, she denied rumors about making a joke that the actress beat her to the altar

And it seems like Taylor wasn't just being kind words – she was genuinely moved to tears by Selena's happiness. In a sweet video shared by the bride, Taylor can be seen fussing over Selena's makeup, exclaiming, "Are you even serious right now? What? Look at her! Oh, my God!"

Selena's fans are going wild for the adorable video, with one fan gushing, "The way you always show up for each other is such a beautiful friendship, queens supporting queens forever!" Another added, "I'm so happy to see Taylor and Selena being their amazing selves!"

But what really caught our attention was Taylor's candid confession about her own wedding preparations. When asked if she'd officially served as a bridesmaid, she coyly replied, "Let's just say I took on several of the traditional roles – including delivering a heartfelt speech."

'So I did make a speech but I actually made a point not to mention anything about my engagement,' she added

And that speech? According to sources, it was pure magic! One insider told The Scholarly Note that Taylor's words left some guests in tears, praising her for being an "incredible sister and friend" who has always had Selena's back.

As for Selena, she's beaming with happiness after finally finding her perfect match in Benny. In a touching Instagram post, she captioned a photo of the happy couple, "In honor of SHOWGIRL … blessed to have you by my side almost 20 years later gator! I love you."

And speaking of Taylor's new album, The Life of a Showgirl, Selena couldn't help but gush about her BFF's latest masterpiece. "I'm obsessed with Taylor's album too," she wrote, sharing some adorable snaps of the two friends together.

'Nobody wants you to be like,

In an interview on SiriusXM's The Morning Mash Up, Taylor opened up about what it was like to attend Selena's wedding, saying, "Not just the most beautiful bride, just like the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm just so happy, and she deserves it so much."
