Selena Gomez has expressed her excitement over Taylor Swift’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce, celebrating her best friend’s big announcement in the most heartwarming way.
On Wednesday, August 27, just a day after Swift revealed the romantic proposal photos on Instagram, Gomez reshared the post on her Instagram Stories. Adding her personal touch, the Calm Down singer wrote, “When bestie gets engaged,” along with Queen’s classic song You’re My Best Friend.
Gomez didn’t stop there. In a follow-up story, she highlighted a cherished memory with Swift that has been circulating online since the news broke. The screenshot was from an April 2009 post Gomez had shared on X (formerly Twitter), where she wrote: “Discussing love with two 9-year-olds. That’s what love is supposed to be. Truly amazing, I’m never leaving Canada.”
At the time, Swift had replied with words that fans now see as beautifully prophetic: “Real love still happens sometimes. It’s not just something we make up when we’re nine. I have to believe that. You do too.”
Following the engagement announcement, fans on X quickly revisited this wholesome exchange. One viral post paired Swift’s engagement photo with a throwback of Gomez’s engagement news with Benny Blanco, captioning it, “16 years later.”
Gomez announced her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco in December 2024, with Swift among the first to celebrate. Under Gomez’s post, Swift had playfully commented, “Yes, I will be the flower girl.”
Swift and Kelce went public with their engagement almost two weeks after appearing together on Kelce’s New Heights podcast, where the Grammy-winning singer also teased details about her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl, set for release on October 3.
With Gomez’s touching response and fans resurfacing heartfelt throwbacks, the pop duo’s friendship once again proved unshakable, showing how both stars have been by each other’s side through life’s biggest milestones.
