Taylor Swift is not the kind of girl who should be rudely barging in on a white-veiled occasion, but she’s very much ready to be a part of newly engaged Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco‘s wedding.
The “Anti-Hero” singer was one of the first stars to publicly react to her longtime best friend’s engagement to the producer, news Gomez shared Wednesday night (Dec. 11) via an adorable post on Instagram. “forever starts now,” the Only Murders in the Building star had written, captioning a carousel of photos that began with a close-up of her ring, and included a snap of Blanco kissing her on the cheek.
In the comments, Swift joked, “yes I will be the flower girl.”
Trending on Billboard
Numerous other friends also commented messages of congratulations on the post, including Cardi B, Jennifer Aniston, Lily Collins, Gordon Ramsay, Suki Waterhouse, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Michaels and more. Blanco chimed in as well, writing, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
The news comes about a year and a half after Gomez and the “Eastside” musician started dating. The former first confirmed their relationship in December 2023, telling fans on Instagram, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.”
As the “Lose You to Love Me” artist’s friend of 15 years, Swift has been there for Gomez through it all. The two women first sparked a friendship around 2009, when both were dating Jonas brothers — Joe and Nick, respectively — and have stayed close ever since. The Wizards of Waverly Place alum attended multiple Eras Tour shows between its March 2023 kickoff and Dec. 8 finale in Vancouver, B.C., and both stars are quick to praise one another when given the chance.
“The most influential artist, for me, it is kind of Taylor,” Gomez said on SiriusXM in 2022. “Not because she’s my friend, but she has been an artist that can transition into so many different genres and she is able to do it seamlessly, and I admire that so much. And that’s so rare. I love her process, and I just admire all the work that she’s done. She’s definitely inspired me.”
That same year, Swift supported her bestie after the premiere of Gomez’s documentary, My Mind & Me. “So proud of you @selenagomez,” the “Karma” artist wrote on Instagram Stories at the time. “Love you forever.”
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox have broken up again, according to TMZ and Us Weekly.

Taylor Swift loves Travis Kelce, but it’s definitely not ruining her life — especially as the Kansas City Chiefs tight end supports her on projects such as the “Fortnight” music video, according to cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto.
In an interview with People published Wednesday (Dec. 4), the filmmaker — who worked on the pop star’s gothic The Tortured Poets Department visual — opened up about how Kelce was on hand to be with his superstar girlfriend during filming. “Travis is a lovely man,” Prieto said. “They both are.”
“I would say that it seems like their parents educated them well,” he continued of the couple, who have been dating since mid-2023. “They are not just polite, but actually interested in what others have to say. I think she felt very supported by his presence, and probably also proud to show him what she does, and the kind of leader she is.”
Trending on Billboard
Swift herself previously touched on having the New Heights podcaster on set with her during the making of the “Fortnight” visual, which is nominated for best music video at the 2025 Grammys. While accepting the coveted video of the year award alongside duet partner Post Malone at the 2024 VMAs in September, she told fans, “This video seems very sad when you watch it, but it was actually the most fun video to make.”
“I would always just hear someone cheering, like, ‘Whoo!’ from across the studio — that one person was my boyfriend, Travis,” she continued at the time. “Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic, so I want to thank him for adding that to our shoot.”
Also featuring cameos from Dead Poets Society‘s Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles, the “Fortnight” video marked just the latest self-directed project from Swift, who has previously masterminded her visuals for “Anti-Hero,” “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” and more. While speaking to People, Prieto shed some insight on the Eras Tour headliner’s creative process.
“I find it amazing that she has such a vivid imagination for music, lyrics, and images,” he told the outlet. “She is a storyteller at heart, and she uses all the mediums at her disposal to express herself.”
“One thing I have loved of being on set with her is that when we are discussing a camera angle or a moment of the story of the video, is that she will softly sing to herself the lyrics of the moment in question,” he continued. “She connects each lyric to an image. It’s never about just filming random stuff to figure out in the edit. She creates a script where the images have a meaning that is intrinsically related to a moment in the song.”
