If you wondered whether Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are still BFFs, the answer is yes — they did NOT forget what that second F stands for.
As part of her musical comeback with the upcoming release of Rare, Selena sat down with the Wall Street Journal for an intensive personal interview — and a big part of it was talking about how her enduring friendship with the Shake It Off singer.
Selly and Tay met way back when they were both dating Jonas Brothers — a more innocent time in more ways than one. Selena recalled:
“We clicked instantly and, man, that was my girl.”
Selena said of her bestie:
“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. 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.”
Now that sounds like a relationship that can stand the test of time. And you can’t say that about all of Selena’s longer interpersonal connections, if you know what we mean.
(We mean Justin Bieber!)

Selena also said:
“We both went through s**t at the same time. She taught me a lot about how I should be treated at a young age.”
Ooh, hinting at being mistreated. Now that sounds like Justin Bieber.
Taylor spoke to the money mag as well, and she also alluded to having to protect her girl from someone who hurt her.
“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.“
Taylor has squashed a few of her old beefs over the years, but never with Justin. In fact, last summer she seemingly confirmed the widely whispered rumors about the Biebs when she liked a post accusing him of having cheated on Selena.
But Tay doesn’t have to worry about anyone hurting Selena lately; the Wolves singer also told the magazine she hasn’t had a boyfriend in over TWO YEARS! She admitted:
“I need time by myself. I love going to my room at the end of the day. Just me and my dog. I got the full granny panties situation, stretched out in my bed. I’ve been single for over two years now. I’m OK with that.”
We love that Selena has become so comfortable in her own skin. She just seems happy now! Even Taylor sees it. As she told WSJ:
“I remember Taylor said when I played her some of the new songs, ‘I feel like I’m seeing who you were before this.’ That makes me happy. I like feeling like that girl again.”
Sounds like she really has her life together! And an incredible friend in her corner…
