Selena Gomez sparks fierce backlash with Taylor Swift's engagement wish

Selena Gomez, who is engaged to record executive Benny Blanco, gushed about Taylor Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce without anticipating fans’ reaction.

Although the two pop stars share a strong bond, Selena was called out after she marked the special occasion on her Instagram story.

Swifties were not happy when the 33-year-old singer presumably revealed her feelings with a statement, “When bestie gets engaged” on the repost.

One of the X users pointed out that the People You Know hitmaker is “always trying to cling on to Taylor for relevancy.”

Another critic similarly noted that the Grammy nominee is “always trying to make this about herself.” While a third user claimed: “Of course she turns Taylor’s engagement into her owns.”

Meanwhile, the Swifties are expecting that the two songstresses serve as each other’s maid of honour for their big days.

The pair, who have been friends for nearly a decade, noticeably got hitched in the same year 2025 after finding their forever persons.

This was noted by Selena in another update, where she re-shared a tweet by the 14-times Grammy winner.

What did Taylor Swift say to Selena Gomez about true love in 2009?

In 2009, Taylor wrote for her best friend: “Real love still happens sometimes. It’s not just something we make up when we’re nine. I have to believe that. You too.”

16 years later, the words of wisdom by the Bad Blood singer finally turns into reality for both best friends.
