What Taylor Swift Said to 'Sister' Selena Gomez During Tear-Jerking Wedding Speech Revealed as Superstar Jokes Close Pal 'Beat her to the Altar'

Taylor Swift brought tears to the eyes of Selena Gomez and her guests with an emotional speech at Gomez’s wedding. The heartfelt moment occurred during Swift’s speech, which playfully included a quip about Gomez “beating her to the altar.”

RadarOnline.com has exclusive details about the singer’s moving address, delivered in the wake of Gomez’s recent marriage to Benny Blanco last Saturday.

Swift attended the wedding solo, as her fiancé, Travis Kelce, had NFL commitments. During her touching speech, she affectionately referred to Gomez, 33, as her “sister” and expressed how both women have navigated numerous highs and lows together throughout their careers and personal lives.

She shared a heartfelt message about how they supported one another through heartbreaks over the years and highlighted how Selena’s path to finding love with Benny began when she embraced her true self.

Swift praised 37-year-old Benny as Gomez’s “perfect match,” noting that in all her years of friendship with Selena, she has never seen her as happy as she is now. Swift humorously mentioned that Gomez had beat her to the altar, but expressed joy that both friends had found love in their lives.

A second source revealed to Daily Mail that Swift emphasized the importance of sisterhood and how they have always been there for each other, sharing valuable lessons along their journey.

Swift further declared that their love was destined, stating, “It isn’t luck that they found each other, it’s love.”

Swift wasn’t the only one to speak; Ed Sheeran and the couple’s parents also shared their heartfelt thoughts during the reception.

The wedding ceremony itself was particularly poignant for Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, who was visibly emotional as her daughter exchanged vows. Teefey, who raised Gomez as a single mother starting at the age of 16, was seen wiping away tears of joy while the couple promised to love each other for a lifetime.

The couple’s wedding took place at Sea Crest Nursery, a breathtaking venue on the Santa Barbara cliffside, encompassing a beautiful palm-filled estate.
