Selena and Taylor’s friendship has stood the test of time, starting from their early days in the spotlight. Their bond first blossomed in 2008 when they both found themselves in relationships with two of the Jonas Brothers—Taylor with Joe Jonas and Selena with Nick Jonas.
The two were first spotted spending time together in August of that year, stepping out for a dinner with their respective boyfriends, and it didn’t take long for them to hit it off.
“We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical,” Selena told KISS FM UK in 2017. “It was amazing, because [Taylor] 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.”
Despite the backlash, many fans defended Selena and Taylor’s deep friendship and called them “friendship goals”

“It was the best thing we got out of those relationships,” she added.
Over the years, they have shared several stages, red carpet moments and public celebrations together and have constantly rooted for each other.
“There’s so much of my friendship with Taylor that people don’t know about because we don’t necessarily feel the need to post about everything we do,” Selena said in a WSJ Magazine feature about her in 2020.

“She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected,” she went on to say. “Flown in because I was hurt and was going through something. Stuff that was going on with my family. It’s been proven year after year and in every moment of my life that she is one of my best friends in the world.”
The Love Story singer also spoke about their “sisterhood” in the same feature and said, “I knew from when I met her I would always have her back. In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don’t know if I can forgive someone who hurts her.”
“How does she end up making everything about herself,” one social media user asked following Taylor’s remark

Do those snarkers really think Taylor found out the news from Selena's Instagram? They're best friends. She already congratulated her earlier than anyone. Also modern journalism us embarrassing.. using snark subs comments for an article is the lowest of lows.

They've been friends for 16 years. Go away, you basement-dwelling trolls. Not everyone's as miserable as you. Congrats, Selena + Benny!
