Selena Gomez’s Ultimate Taylor Swift Song and Their Unbreakable Friendship

Selena Gomez has always been candid about her deep connection to Taylor Swift’s music. Recently, she revealed her unwavering love for a specific track from Swift’s extensive discography, showing just how much this song means to her.

During a SiriusXM Guest DJ session on January 12, Gomez, 31, couldn’t contain her admiration for Swift’s 2014 hit, “Wildest Dreams.” She highlighted the track as one of Swift’s finest works. “I think this is one of her, if not, I mean I guess I shouldn’t say this, but I do think it’s one of her best songs,” she gushed. Gomez praised the song for its masterful lyrics and melodies, adding, “It’s one of my favorites that no matter when it comes on, I will just blast it in any mood I’m in.”

While picking a favorite song was a breeze for Gomez, selecting a top album from Swift’s prolific career was a different story. During a Most Requested Live interview in September 2023, Gomez expressed her appreciation for the uniqueness of each of Swift’s eras. “I love all the eras,” she said. “I think the whole idea of creating those moments for each album is really special, so I can’t pick a favorite. I really loved it all.”

Gomez and Swift’s friendship dates back to 2008 when they met on a double date with then-boyfriends Nick and Joe Jonas. Since then, their bond has only grown stronger. Swift often speaks fondly of Gomez, describing their relationship as a true sisterhood. “There has always been this quality of sisterhood [with Selena], and I don’t say that in a basic way,” Swift told WSJ. Magazine in 2022. “I knew from when I met her I would always have her back.”

Their tight bond was evident during Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Los Angeles in 2023. Gomez attended the concert with her younger sister Gracie, fully embracing the themes of the concert by dressing in attire inspired by Swift’s Folklore album, while Gracie donned a Speak Now-inspired outfit. Gomez later took to Instagram to express her gratitude, writing, “Thank you bestie for having me and my sissy transport into your mystical, euphoric and special world. Proud to know you! Love you forever and always.”

Swift returned the support when Gomez released her new song “Single Soon” in 2023, her first in two years. Swift shared her excitement on Instagram, praising Gomez’s track with a heartfelt message: “When [your] bestie is the bestest. Will be dancing to this forever methinks.”

During her SiriusXM session, Gomez also highlighted other artists she admires, including Doja Cat, Frank Sinatra, and Ariana Grande. Speaking about Grande, Gomez said, “Ariana Grande. I cannot do anything fun without listening to Ariana. I feel so empowered, and I think she’s incredible. I just have so much fun, so I’m the girl that’s playing Ariana all the time, and I think people kind of notice that, but I love it. I think she’s amazing.”

Selena Gomez’s connection to Taylor Swift’s music transcends mere fandom; it’s rooted in a decade-long friendship and mutual support. Whether it’s blasting “Wildest Dreams” or celebrating new music releases, Gomez’s appreciation for Swift is unwavering, reflecting the deep bond they share. As Gomez continues to champion and support her friends and their music, fans are reminded of the powerful connections that music can create.
