Taylor Swift Shuts Down Rumours of Being Jealous Over Selena Gomez’s Wedding
American pop superstar Taylor Swift has dismissed rumours that she felt jealous of her best friend, Selena Gomez, for getting married before her. The speculation began shortly after Gomez tied the knot with music producer Benny Blanco in a private ceremony attended by close friends, including Swift.
Following the event, gossip reports suggested that Swift jokingly mentioned during her speech that Gomez had “beaten her to the altar,” sparking online discussions about possible envy. However, the “Love Story” singer has now set the record straight.
During her recent interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Swift clarified that her comments at the wedding had been completely misunderstood. She revealed that her speech was lighthearted and focused mainly on their shared memories from their teenage years rather than her own engagement.
“I made sure not to mention anything about my engagement,” Swift said with a smile. “It was all about celebrating Selena and how far we’ve come since our early days. I just teased about our 2008 fashion choices — those deep V-necks and colourful skinny jeans — but it was all in good fun.”
The award-winning artist expressed pure joy for her friend, calling Gomez’s marriage a beautiful milestone in her life. She also said it was special to witness her best friend’s happiness, as they have supported each other through every stage of their careers and personal lives.
Swift further addressed why she didn’t inform Ed Sheeran about her engagement to Travis Kelce earlier, explaining that Sheeran rarely uses his phone. “Ed is impossible to reach — he only replies to emails or FaceTime calls,” she joked, making the audience laugh.
Fans have praised Swift for her openness and the genuine affection she continues to show towards her long-time friend. The singer’s calm clarification has also helped silence online gossip, reminding everyone that friendship and support are at the core of her bond with Gomez.
Swift’s recent comments once again show her ability to stay grounded amid fame, proving that her friendships remain stronger than rumours.
