by

According to Selena Gomez, breaking up with one of the Jonas Brothers led to a strong friendship with Taylor Swift, as she reminisced about their long-standing bond and also disclosed an ‘extraordinary’ song she listened to prior to anyone else.

In simpler terms, at age 33, Gomez excitedly spoke about the 35-year-old singer during a conversation about how their romantic connection started through their former boyfriends, who were both well-known, more than ten years back.

During a guest spot on the Wednesday edition of Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast, she reminisced about a time when Taylor Swift had shared one of the most stunning songs with her prior to its release, which later earned numerous accolades.

In the podcast, the ex-Disney star reminisced about a time when she went out with Nick Jonas (age 32), coincidentally during the period when Taylor Swift was dating Joe Jonas (age 35), his older brother.

‘It was cute,’ she began. ‘We were young. We all know and love each other now and it’s so cute.

At the time, we weren’t exactly sure about our actions. But looking back, both of us can agree that the most valuable thing we took away from those relationships was our friendship, as it was truly heartwarming.

Gomez reminisced, “When I was around fifteen, she was eighteen – this is when wild-haired Taylor first appeared, adorned with an array of bracelets stretching up her arms.

She mentioned that ‘Love Story’ by Taylor Swift was the initial song she heard from her and at that point in time, it hadn’t been officially released yet. This song eventually earned eight awards out of thirteen nominations.

Indeed, I was in a hotel room, and the memory still feels fresh – one of those moments when a song resonated deeply with me, making me realize it’s among the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever heard, Gomez expressed enthusiastically about the artist.

After breaking up with the two members of the Jonas Brothers they were romantically involved with, they developed a strong friendship.

The actor went on to explain that around that time, they formed a strong friendship, sharing common ground due to a mutual heartbreak.

Just as girls often tend to stay connected through various stages of their lives, so did we. There were times when things weren’t clear and we didn’t know what would happen next, but we persevered and endured the highs and lows that followed. Here we are now, 16 years later.

As a lifestyle enthusiast here, let me share that I was thrilled to discover that you had the chance to listen to Love Story before its release! Truly a delightful surprise, just as hearing a favorite song for the first time can be.

She said, “Alright, let me play you a song here. To be honest, I’m not sure about it, but I believe it could potentially be our first single.

Gomez said she was in awe ‘just hearing her say those little thoughts and just listening to it.’

She added about her longtime friend: ‘Yeah, she is a chameleon. She’s incredible.’

On the very same day that the podcast episode was made public, the actress disclosed that she had visited New York City and acquired a fresh tattoo while there.

In an Instagram story, the singer displayed a delicate “Rare” writing, styled in cursive, situated on the right side of her neck.

Last year, Gomez launched her cosmetics line, named Rare Beauty, drawing inspiration from her album of the same title that she had also debuted in the same year.

Her third studio album, titled “Rare,” is often recognized as her most intimate and highly praised among critics within her body of work.

Her beauty company consistently wins multiple accolades in the beauty sector and stands among the most successful and highly purchased celebrity-endorsed beauty brands ever.

At the end of last month, Gomez marked her 33rd birthday by hosting a preliminary, disco-styled gathering with her closest companion and her future spouse in tow.

On her birthday, her lifelong friend stood faithfully beside her, celebrating yet another year with her dearest companions.

In pictures posted on Gomez’s Instagram, it seemed like the stars were captured enjoying a ball pit, with the birthday girl reaching out playfully towards the camera.

Clad in a sparkling silver jumpsuit, the singer-actress shone brightly as she struck a pose alongside Swift, who donned her classic red lipstick and a sleek black mini dress.

It seems that the artist known for Sunset Blvd didn’t share specifics about the event, but based on observations, it looked like a 1970s disco-themed party was taking place, and it appeared to be hosted at the iconic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

In an early celebration for her upcoming birthday, Gomez shared a glowing Instagram post looking back at what she considered the most beautiful year of her life.)

As I get ready for my 33rd birthday, I can’t help but look back on the amazing path that led me here, Gomez wrote in her caption. ‘This past year has been absolutely stunning, and a large part of that beauty is thanks to each one of you.’

Gomez went on, expressing gratitude towards her supporters during the ‘up and down’ times, and vowing to bring that affection with her as she moves forward to the next stage of her life.

Apart from the popular artist who made “The Cruel Summer,” another notable figure graced the room – Benny Blanco, Gomez’s fiancé and music producer, was present as well.

Throughout the evening, the pair savored tender instances, such as a heartfelt kiss captured on film that left spectators in a state of delight.

At the celebration, Sofia Carson, a well-known singer and ex-Disney star (age 32), joined in to assist Gomez in celebrating her birthday alongside her cherished ones.
