Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift made headlines once again, this time not for their friendly moments at the 2023 MTV VMAs, but for their reunion at the 2024 Golden Globes. Despite the different setting, the longtime friends and singers found themselves together again. Gomez received a nomination for Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy, for her role in “Only Murders in the Building,” while Swift was nominated for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement for her Eras tour concert film. Although Gomez didn’t clinch the award in her category, Swift still had a chance to win hers, which would mark her first Golden Globe win.
While the duo didn’t steal the spotlight on the red carpet, they were captured in intimate moments inside the ceremony, conversing and embracing, a testament to their enduring friendship.
Gomez and Swift’s friendship traces back to 2008, and their bond has remained strong over the years. Their most recent public appearance together was in New York City, just before Swift’s 34th birthday. Gomez commemorated the occasion by posting a heartfelt tribute to Swift on Instagram, accompanied by a photo of them next to Swift’s birthday cake. “New York, my favorite moments with you this week 🤍,” Gomez captioned the post, encapsulating the essence of their cherished friendship.
In a profile for WSJ magazine in early 2020, Swift opened up about her friendship with Gomez, highlighting the profound sisterhood they share. “There has always been this quality of sisterhood, and I don’t say that in a basic way,” Swift expressed. “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.”
Gomez also spoke about their bond, emphasizing the depth of their friendship. “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 revealed. “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.” Their words underscore the unwavering support and understanding they offer each other, solidifying their enduring friendship.
