Gomez, who has maintained a close friendship with Swift since they met in 2008, emphasized how much she values the Bad Blood singer’s opinions on her music. She praised Swift’s honesty, noting that she appreciates receiving genuine feedback.
The Only Murders in the Building star also addressed Swift’s recent praise for her new collaborative album with Benny Blanco, I Said I Loved You First. Swift had shared her enthusiasm on Instagram, writing, “I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD.”
One of the album’s tracks, Younger and Hotter Than Me, has drawn comparisons to Swift’s All Too Well, with fans pointing out thematic similarities between the lyrics of both songs.
Gomez and Swift have remained steadfast friends over the years, with Swift previously stating that she has always had Gomez’s back.
