Does Taylor Swift Have A Higher Net Worth Than Selena Gomez?
Singers Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have been BFFs for more than 10 years now. The two met and started hanging out in 2008 by way of their former romances with two of the Jonas Brothers. "We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical," Gomez said during a 2017 interview on KIIS FM UK.
At the time, Gomez had been dating Nick, while Swift was cuddled up with Joe. "It was amazing, because she was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked," Gomez said. The Spring Breakers star went on to throw a little shade their exes' way when she added, "It was the best thing we got out of those relationships."
Since then, the two chart-toppers have been by each other's side every step of the way, Celebrity reported. Their fans love when they sit next to each other at award shows or post up pics together on social media. They both took home awards at the 2011 People's Choice Awards, and Gomez even made a cameo in Swift's 2015 "Bad Blood" video, as noted by Elle.
In 2014, Swift opened up about her relationship with Gomez while speaking with E! News. "It's been the longest one I think either of us had really," she explained. "Both of us have kind of stuck it out and hung in there through all the different changes we've gone through."
