Selena Gomez’s close friend Taylor Swift was right there to celebrate her magical wedding alongside her. Over the weekend, the 33-year-old star of “Only Murders in the Building” posted beautiful pictures from her September 27 wedding to producer Benny Blanco.
While the exquisite Santa Barbara backdrop and Selena’s stunning lace gown were eye-catching, it was Taylor’s emotional support that really stole the show.
In one touching video, Taylor, wearing a glamorous champagne-colored gown, is seen capturing Selena’s walk down the aisle, softly encouraging her friend with words of support. “Are you even serious?” Taylor can be heard saying, her voice filled with both wonder and happiness.
Selena’s post was heartfelt, as she expressed her gratitude in a message that brought a tear to many eyes: “In honor of SHOWGIRL… blessed to have you by my side almost 20 years later, gator! I love you @taylorswift forever and always.”
This not only celebrated their long-lasting bond but also referenced Taylor’s recent album, “The Life of a Showgirl”, which features the song “The Fate of Ophelia.” Selena even included a screenshot from the track, a touching nod to their shared journey through fame, heartbreak, and other life experiences.
At the wedding, Taylor wasn’t just a guest. She played an important role. She gave an emotional toast, reminiscing about their teenage years as stars in Hollywood, mentioning how they first connected while double-dating the Jonas Brothers (Selena with Nick and Taylor with Joe).
During an appearance on “The Tonight Show”, Taylor humorously brushed off rumors that she used her speech to announce her own engagement. “It was her day, not mine,” she told Jimmy Fallon, keeping the focus on Selena.
Naturally, social media was buzzing with excitement. Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their feelings, dubbing Selena and Taylor’s friendship “the real love story” and noting how it felt like they were witnessing two sisters grow up together.
