Speaking in 2017 about how they met, Selena revealed: "We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical. It was amazing, because [Taylor] was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked. It was the best thing we got out of those relationships."

The newlywed bride also revealed she would go to Taylor for love advice, telling Seventeen magazine in 2009: "If I ever I have an issue, Taylor has gone through it, because she's older than me, and she gives the most thought-out answers.

"And what I love about Taylor is that she does believe in the whole love story and Prince Charming and soul mates. Because of her, I haven't lost faith. We literally talk every day."

Taylor has also been very complimentary towards Selena, telling WSJ. Magazine in 2020: "There has always been this quality of sisterhood, and I don't say that in a basic way. I knew from when I met her I would always have her back. 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."

Selena added: "There's so much of my friendship with Taylor that people don't know about because we don't necessarily feel the need to post about everything we do.

"She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected. Flown in because I was hurt and was going through something. Stuff that was going on with my family. It's been proven year after year and in every moment of my life that she is one of my best friends in the world. We don't agree on everything, but we respect each other with everything."
