Having once declared Taylor Swift as her only friend in showbiz, Selena Gomez has not appeared with the singer born in 1989 for many months. Partly because Selena does not want to be with Taylor’s other friends.

The reason Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are apart

In November 2022, Selena Gomez caused controversy when she told Rolling Stone that her only friend in the entertainment industry was Taylor Swift. However, nearly two years later, the relationship between the two billionaires seems to be no longer as good as before. Selena Gomez has not appeared at group gatherings with Taylor Swift for many months.

2023-2024 is the busiest period for the Anti-hero hitmaker due to her Eras Tour around the world . Despite that, Taylor still arranges time to spend with her group of famous friends such as Blake Lively, Lana Del Rey, Sophie Turner, Zoe Kravitz, Ice Spice and Brittany Mahomes. The group also supports the singer by coming to see her shows in different cities.

However, despite their long-standing friendship, Taylor and Selena have had very little interaction over the past two years. The last time the couple was photographed together was in January at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.

After completing the European leg, Taylor threw a party at her Rhode Island mansion in late August. Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid and many other sisters were present but Selena was absent. This surprised fans.

Part of the reason for the separation is believed to be that Selena doesn’t want to be around Taylor’s other friends. Multiple sources claim that the former Disney star feels she can’t fit in with Taylor’s social circle.

Does friendship really cool down?

However, a second source dismissed the idea that Taylor and Selena’s friendship had cooled, saying the pair were simply too busy with their successful careers and relationships.

“Life, in a good way, is the reason Taylor and Selena don’t hang out as often anymore. Taylor is on her biggest tour ever and trying to balance work and seeing Travis. Selena is also busy with Only Murders in the Building and her relationship with Benny. There just isn’t enough time in the day for them to be together,” the insider said.

Meanwhile, a third source revealed that Selena and Taylor still talk regularly but cannot meet because they have not been in the same city at the same time for a long time.

In an interview with E! News earlier, when asked if Taylor could make a cameo appearance in Only Murders In The Building , Selena expressed her uncertainty because her best friend was too busy. However, she supported the idea of ​​Taylor playing a passerby on the street.
