For weeks, fans were buzzing with questions about whether Taylor Swift would attend her longtime best friend Selena Gomez’s wedding to music producer Benny Blanco. The rumors finally came to rest when Selena herself confirmed it. Taylor was earlier spotted making a discreet entrance under umbrellas at the Santa Barbara venue on September 27, 2025, trying to keep things private. Now, Selena has shared beautiful behind-the-scenes photos from the big day, revealing Taylor’s stunning look and their heartwarming moments together.
Selena Gomez, 33, posted a series of photos on Instagram on October 6, 2025, captioning it, “In honor of SHOWGIRL… blessed to have you by my side almost 20 years later, gator! I love you Taylor Swift forever and always.” The post included adorable behind-the-scenes shots and a short video where Taylor is seen admiring Selena’s bridal look, exclaiming with excitement, “Are you even serious? Oh my God, look at her!” The sweet exchange between the two best friends had fans tearing up, celebrating another chapter in their nearly two-decade-long friendship.
Taylor’s look at the wedding drew as much attention as their emotional moment. She looked breathtaking in a gold-beige A-line gown that shimmered under the lights. The dress featured soft floral embroidery, delicate textures, and a fitted sleeveless bodice that gave her a graceful, old Hollywood vibe. Her classic red lipstick, winged eyeliner, and side-swept updo added to the vintage charm. Taylor and Selena were later seen laughing, sipping drinks, and soaking up the joy of the day — a scene that felt both elegant and deeply personal.
Their friendship goes way back to 2009, when both were dating members of the Jonas Brothers — Taylor with Joe and Selena with Nick. Even though those relationships didn’t last, their bond did. Over the years, they’ve stood by each other through heartbreaks, career highs, and major life moments. Selena has often called Taylor her “big sister,” while Taylor has said that Selena is “family.” The two have been spotted supporting each other at concerts, cheering from award show audiences, and celebrating birthdays together. Taylor once summed up their connection perfectly, saying, “It’s the kind of friendship where we’ve seen each other through everything, and we just keep choosing each other.”
Adding to the joy, Selena also gave Taylor a shoutout for her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, which dropped on October 3, 2025. The album, recorded during the European leg of Taylor’s Eras Tour, marks a new phase in her career — confident, bold, and full of energy. It’s co-produced by Max Martin and Shellback, blending upbeat pop and soft rock. Fans have also noticed that a few tracks seem inspired by her relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce. The title track even features Sabrina Carpenter, making it another powerful moment in Taylor’s ever-evolving story.
From friendship to success, both women continue to shine — proving that some bonds only get stronger with time.
