Selena Gomez Reflects on Friendship with Taylor Swift and Their Jonas Brothers Connection
Selena Gomez recently opened up about the early days of her friendship with BFF Taylor Swift, reminiscing about their shared experience of dating the Jonas Brothers. In a candid interview on the “Therapuss With Jake Shane” podcast, Gomez, now 33, revealed, “Taylor and I dated the Jonas Brothers. I dated Nick and she dated Joe.”
Looking back on their teenage relationships with the Jonas Brothers, Gomez fondly recalled the innocence of their youth. She shared, “We were young. We all know and love each other now and it’s so cute. We didn’t know what we were doing [at the time]. But, yeah, she and I like to say the best thing we got out of those relationships was each other.”
Gomez and Nick Jonas, now 32, briefly dated in 2008 when they were both Disney Channel stars. Swift, 35, dated Nick’s older brother, Joe Jonas, around the same time. The bond formed between Gomez and Swift during this period has stood the test of time, with Gomez revealing that they quickly bonded over their breakup with the Jonas Brothers.
The “Only Murders in the Building” actress shared a heartwarming moment when Swift played her the song “Love Story” before its release in 2008. Gomez reminisced, “It was one of those songs that I instantly heard and thought, ‘This is one of the most beautiful songs ever.’ So, at that age, we became best friends, bonded over the breakup — as girls do — and then we just stuck around for all the ups and downs that came after. Here we are now, 16 years later.”
Both Gomez and Swift have been open about their past relationships with the Jonas Brothers. Swift famously revealed on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2008 that Joe broke up with her over the phone. Gomez also reflected on her puppy love romance with Nick in a 2015 interview, describing it as sweet and innocent.
Since their teenage heartbreaks, Gomez and Swift have moved on to find love with their current partners. Gomez is now engaged to music producer Benny Blanco, while Swift has been in a happy relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce for around two years.
The enduring friendship between Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, rooted in their shared experiences with the Jonas Brothers, serves as a heartwarming reminder of the power of female bonds and the journey of growth and love that comes with age and experience.
