August 28, 2025: Fans are overjoyed, and it shows how strong Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift’s friendship is, that Selena Gomez reacted so sweetly to Taylor Swift’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce.

The singer of “Lose You to Love Me” posted pictures of the emotional proposal on her Instagram Stories and commented, “When bestie gets engaged,” accompanied with a heart emoji.

The party wasn’t just about the news; it was also a remembrance of a chat between the two friends that has since gone viral. Fans instantly found a tweet from Selena’s account from April 2009 in which she talked about talking to two kids about love. Taylor Swift wrote back with a remark that now seems prophetic: “Real love still happens sometimes.” It’s not only something we think up when we’re nine. That is what I have to believe. You also do.

Selena recognized the date by sharing a fan post that put together a tweet from 2009 and new engagement photographs with the comment “16 years later.”

Selena Gomez got engaged to producer Benny Blanco in December 2024, just a few months before this engagement. Fans are celebrating a friendship that has endured through decades of fame, music, and major events. The closest friends are now ready to start a new chapter in their lives. Taylor famously replied to Selena’s post on her engagement with “Yes, I will be the flower girl,” which made their bond even stronger.
