Selena Gomez Gave Taylor Swift the Sweetest Compliment For ‘Midnights’

Taylor Swift’s fans love her new album Midnights, but she is also winning praise from her close friends. Selena Gomez complimented her bestie Swift on her Instagram Stories after the debut of the singer’s 10th studio album this week.

Gomez shared a screenshot of a song off the album titled “Mastermind,” from Spotify. Over the screenshot, Gomez wrote the words, “That she is.”

Gomez must have been one of the people who crashed Spotify in the effort to hear the new tracks.

The pop stars have been friends since 2008, and their fans love seeing them together. They reportedly met while each one was dating a Jonas brother, Swift with Joe Jonas and Gomez with Nick Jonas, and have been close ever since.

“We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical,” Gomez said in 2017 to KISS FM UK. “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… It was the best thing we got out of those relationships.”

Gomez has appeared on stage when Swift toured with Bad Reputation and starred in her music video for “Bad Blood.”

In a story on Gomez for WSJ Magazine, Swift told the publication, “There has always been this quality of sisterhood, and I don’t say that in a basic way… 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.”

“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,” Gomez said in that story. “She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected. 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. We don’t agree on everything, but we respect each other with everything.”
