SURPRISE: Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez thought they were as close as sisters, but Taylor’s recent actions have made netizens question – “Is this friendship still the same?”
The Hollywood entertainment world was once again stirred up when rumors spread that Taylor Swift – who has always been proud of her friendship of more than a decade with Selena Gomez – did not choose Selena to be a bridesmaid at her upcoming wedding. This information surprised fans and raised questions about the true relationship between the two stars who were once considered “golden friendship symbols” in the American music industry.
According to a close source revealed on social media, Taylor Swift called all of her close friends – including Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, and Brittany Mahomes – to invite them to be bridesmaids on the big day, but Selena Gomez’s name was not on the list. This absence immediately sparked a wave of fierce discussions online, making fans wonder: “What is going on between the two?”
Over the years, Taylor and Selena have appeared together at awards ceremonies, Grammy after-parties, and have often publicly shown support for each other. Taylor once said: “Selena is like a sister that I always want to protect.” Meanwhile, Selena has also repeatedly affirmed that Taylor is “the only friend in this industry who has always been there for me when I was at my weakest.”
However, Taylor’s actions this time have made many people feel that something is wrong. Some fans think that the relationship between the two has cooled after Selena became closer to Hailey Bieber, who has had a hidden conflict with Taylor. Others think that Taylor just wanted to limit the number of bridesmaids, and not choosing Selena does not mean that the two have broken up.
However, observant people quickly discovered that Selena has not interacted with Taylor on social media in recent weeks. Even when Taylor posted new photos with her close friends on a trip, Selena was completely silent – something that has never happened before.
One netizen commented: “If it were me, I would be hurt too. The two used to consider each other as family, but now they are not invited to be bridesmaids at the wedding.” Meanwhile, another person defended Taylor: “No one knows the inside story. Maybe Selena is busy filming, or Taylor just wants to keep things private.”
Regardless of the truth, this event still caused the “Swiftie” and “Selenator” fan communities to be divided into two distinct factions, causing a huge debate online. One side asserted that this friendship is only a beautiful past, while the other side believes that this is just a temporary misunderstanding and the two will soon appear together again as before.
But regardless, Taylor Swift not choosing Selena Gomez as a bridesmaid is still one of the most shocking news this week – and perhaps, this will be a big turning point for a friendship that was once considered the strongest in Hollywood.
