Taylor Swift Shows Support for Bestie Selena Gomez’s Latest Song
Both successful in their careers, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez show that they have the kind of relationship that supports each other. Taylor had nothing but high praises for her best friend after she released her new song, “Single Soon.”
Last Saturday, the 33-year-old “Cruel Summer” hitmaker took to her Instagram Story and shared a special reel of video clips from the new song’s music video. Taylor, a 12-time Grammy winner, captioned it with, “Will be dancing to this forever, methinks.”
Selena reshared the same video on her account the following day.
Taylor and Selena go way back. They have been friends since they met through the Jonas Brothers in their teens. In 2008, Taylor was dating Joe while Selena was going out with Nick. Going out on double dates was common for the two girls.
A month after one of their double dates, Taylor showed her support for Selena by being there during the premiere of Another Cinderella Story. Since then, the two have become close friends. They are often seen attending red carpet events and award shows together. There were also several instances when Taylor and Selena celebrated their birthdays and went on vacations together.
Selena has returned the favor several times by supporting Taylor on her shows and surprising her by attending Taylor’s concerts. The most recent Taylor concert that Selena attended was in Los Angeles and Arlington, Texas, during her ongoing and career-changing Eras Tour. Selena attended with Gracie, her younger sister.
More BFFs: Selena Gomez and Francia Raisa
In addition to Taylor, Selena is also friends with actress Francia Raisa. The friendship between the two hasn’t always been smooth. If you’ll recall, Selena unintentionally started a feud with her other best friend, Francia Raisa, who donated a kidney to her when she was sick. Francia was upset with Selena when she referred to Taylor as her only friend in the industry during an interview with Rolling Stone.
Francia felt that her generosity and selflessness were somewhat disregarded. Later on, Selena clarified that she was talking about friends in the music industry. Today, Francia and Selena are back to being friends.
“Single Soon:” First Solo After Several Years
“Single Soon” is Selena’s first solo after many years. It is a comeback song with a catchy tune and a fun video. After its release last Thursday, the Only Murders in the Building star received overwhelming support from her friends and followers. In return, Selena uploaded another short but sweet Instagram Story, shedding light on her new song’s special meaning and backstory. She also took the time to thank her supporters for all their love.
In an effort to promote her new song, Selena also posted a black-and-white picture during the weekend. It was a snap taken from the music video of “Single Soon” showing a club scene. The founder of Rare Beauty captioned the image with, “Thank you guys for all the love on ‘Single Soon!!!”
She explained that it holds powerful and personal meaning. It is a playful and creative song that talks about being comfortable in one’s own skin while loving and celebrating your own company.
Earlier, Selena mentioned that the empowering single is also the teaser for her upcoming album which is tentatively called “SG3.” Besides being a work in progress, there are no further updates or information about the forthcoming album.
