Taylena is here to stay! Taylor Swift helped Selena Gomez celebrate her 30th birthday with a little help from her best friend.
“30, nerdy and worthy,” the Rare Beauty entrepreneur, 30, captioned an Instagram photo with the “All Too Well” singer, 32, on Friday, July 22. As Swift helped her friend hold up the digits “3” and “0,” the women snuggled close for the camera. In a second picture, Selena Gomez couldn’t stop laughing as she unwrapped a gift.
It was a joy to see these two best friends back together, even though neither Gomez nor Only Murders in the Building star has revealed any other details about her birthday celebrations.
TAYLENA STANS RISE wrote one of her online fans. “Icons queens lovers everything and more,” said another.
Swift and Gomez have known each other since 2008, when they first met while dating siblings Joe and Nick Jonas. In spite of the Jonas Brothers’ failure to work out, BFFs have remained a constant source of support for one another.
“I knew from when I met Selena I would always have her back,” the “London Boy” singer who’s been dating Joe Alwyn since May 2017 told the Wall Street Journal in January 2020. “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.”
WSJ quotes a former Wizards of Waverly Place cast member as saying that the two “clicked instantaneously” and formed a “deep friendship” during their time together.
“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,” Gomez recalled to the outlet.
Among Swift’s “squad,” which also includes Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Ed Sheeran, and the Haim sisters, the Disney Channel graduate can be counted.

“In my 20s I found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friend,” the “Shake It Off” musician explained in an Elle essay in May 2019. “So I shouted it from the rooftops, posted pictures and celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood, without realizing that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone.”
“Something about ‘we’re in our young 20s!’ hurls people together into groups that can feel like your chosen family. And maybe they will be for the rest of your life. Or maybe they’ll just be your comrades for an important phase, but not forever. It’s sad but sometimes when you grow, you outgrow relationships. You may leave behind friendships along the way, but you’ll always keep the memories.”
“I haven’t been on a stage in a very long time,” the Cats actress told the crowd on Thursday, July 21, before they teamed up for a remixed “Love Story” duet. “It’s nice. It’s very nice. But, you know, when I heard that my girls [Alana Haim, Danielle Haim and Este Haim] were playing in London at the O2 [Arena], I thought, ‘I’m gonna have to see that.’ And it looks like there’s about 20,000 other people that also thought that.”
