Selena Gomez‘s friendship withTaylor Swiftis going stronger than ever.
“When I got the videos [for“Lose You to Love Me”and“Look at Her Now”], I got to go and show her and her parents,” Gomez recalls, smiling. “And it was so cute because we all got on the couch and all the lights were turned down, and just seeing Andrea, her mom, and seeing Taylor react that way was one of the sweetest moments.”
That support goes both ways, as she refers to herself as a “major fan” of Swift. “She played meFearlessbefore it came out,” Gomez says. “And I remember that feeling because ever since then, we have been best friends. And to see where I amand for her to see where I amis such a beautiful … it’s just so great.”
“It’s so sweet when I do think about everything we’ve been through,” she says of Swift earlier in the interview. “Somebody played me this message from her and I got really emotional. ‘Cause you have friends for life, you know?”

Theformer Disney Channel starthen answers a few fan questions, including from one individual who wanted to know if she and her fellow pop powerhouse will ever collaborate.
“I don’t know! It’s not that it wasn’t a thought or it hasn’t been, obviously, but we always are respecting what one another’s doing,” Gomez replies. “For instance, [her new album,Lover, is] all hers, and I want it to be, and it’s the same thing that she feels. So I don’t know. I don’t know if we would.”
Regardless of whether their musical trajectories cross paths at some point in their respective careers, Gomez and Swift have a history of being supportive of one another.
“This song is aperfect expression of healing& my absolute favorite song she’s put out yet. A triumph,” Swift wrote on Instagram last week, praising her friend for “Lose You to Love Me” shortly after its release. “I love you so much.”

Speaking to Zane Lowe on Friday for hisNew Music Dailyshow on Apple Music’s Beats 1, Swift told the DJ that she thought Gomez’s new music was “the best thing she’s ever done.”
“I’m so proud of her,” the “Blank Space” singer said. “She’s been through so much. I’ve watched so much happen in her life and had a front-row seat to so much, and I’m so proud of her. She is such a revelation because now she’s making her best stuff.”
“I am 100 percent convinced this is the best thing she’s done so far,” Swift added. “Just from my perspective as her friend, I’vejust never been more proud. The things that she’s overcome, the situations that she’s risen above.”
She continued, “It’s been a long time that we’ve been friends, and she’s the best. She’s just the best. I’m really excited because when somebody has had great life experience, has had really tough things they’ve had to go through, and they can process that and make art that’s going to help other people, that’s what kind of song this is. I’m stoked.”
