Selena Gomez recently posted charming new pictures of herself with her long-time best friend, Taylor Swift, just a few days after the two spent time together at the 2023 MTV VMAs.
Fans of the “Taylena” friendship may find it hard to contain their excitement upon seeing these delightful new photographs.
On September 16th, Selena Gomez shared new selfies featuring her and her BFF Taylor Swift on her Instagram. This came four days after the two reunited at the 2023 MTV VMAs.
Captioning the post with a line from Saweetie’s 2021 song “Best Friend,” Selena, 31, wrote, “Thas my best frien -she a real bad.”

In the pictures, which were taken by Taylor, the two pop icons are seen enjoying a meal outdoors at a restaurant with an oceanfront view. In one of the photos, the 33-year-old “Blank Space” singer can be seen planting a kiss on Selena’s cheek.
On September 12th, both singers attended the 2023 MTV VMAs, where Taylor took home an impressive nine awards, including Video of the Year, Song of the Year, and Artist of the Year. With this win, Taylor has now amassed a total of 23 awards over the course of her career, second only to Beyoncé, who has 30. Selena also won an award, securing the title of Best Afrobeats for her collaboration with Rema on “Calm Down.” Throughout the night, the lifelong best friends cheered each other on, spent time together, and took pictures.
It has been an eventful summer for the duo. Taylor and Selena celebrated the Fourth of July together in the company of several friends at Taylor’s Independence Day party. In August, Selena attended one of Taylor’s Eras tour shows with her sister Gracie Teefey.
Later in the same month, Selena released her new song “Single Soon,” and Taylor showed her support by sharing the music video on her Instagram Stories, along with a message that read, “When ur bestie is the bestest.” The pop star, who had recently ended her six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn and later had a brief romance with 1975 singer Matty Healy, added, “Will be dancing to this forever methinks.”
