Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have been friends for a long time, but they don’t hang out together as much as they used to. According to sources, this is partly because Gomez doesn’t “want” to be with Swift’s other friends.
Pop star Swift, 34, is known for having a girl squad with stars like Blake Lively, Lana Del Rey, Sophie Turner, Zoe Kravitz, Ice Spice, and Brittany Mahomes. But Gomez, 32, is rarely seen with the group when they’re out in public.
During her busy Eras world tour, Swift has been seen with many famous friends. However, her interactions with Selena have been very limited, and the last time she was seen with her was in January.
Sources say Gomez feels like she’s not part of the group.
A source told DailyMail.com, “Selena feels like she has grown up enough to be left out of Taylor’s group of friends.” “None of those girls—Blake, Ice Spice, Brittany, or any of them—interest her.”
A sad comment on a picture of Gomez’s box at the Super Bowl in February suggested that she was upset that she wouldn’t be able to hang out with her friends.
The picture was shared on Instagram by a Taylor Swift fan page. It showed Swift with friends Lively, Keleigh Sperry, Lana Del Rey, Ice Spice, and more.
Gomez put a sad, crying emoji and a black heart emoji in the comments.
Fans were then shocked when the head of Rare Beauty didn’t show up to Swift’s party in Rhode Island in August.
“In a lot of ways, she feels like an outsider now,” the person said. She has never wanted to be a cheerleader and so she is not one.
According to reports from DailyMail.com, Lively, 37, and Gomez, 32, have had a bad relationship for a long time and don’t get along. They choose to spend time with their pop star BFF separately.
It looks like they’ve never been shot together, even though they’ve both known Swift for a long time.
When DailyMail.com added up all of Taylor’s birthday parties, Fourth of July parties, and New Year’s Eve parties, it was clear that Gomez and Lively had never been to any of those events together.
One big reason why Gomez and Swift haven’t been seen together in recent months is that they are both focused on their new relationships.
Since the summer of 2023, Gomez has been dating fellow artist Benny Blanco. Around the same time, Swift began her famous relationship with 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.
“They are both focused on their careers and their relationships,” the insider said. Because they are both in love at the same time, they are happy for each other in the end.
Since Gomez and Swift’s dates probably don’t have much in common, they aren’t trying very hard to get back together by going on a tandem date.
A source said, “They know that double dates are out of the question because their men would have nothing to talk about.”
Blanco told SiriusXM that the group hadn’t tried to get together, even though he had run into Swift at a restaurant a few days before the interview.
For some fans, the fact that Gomez and Swift haven’t been seen together in public since the 2024 Golden Globes in January is a sign.
Before that, in December 2023, the two went to a comedy show together, and a few weeks earlier, Gomez showed up for dinner with Swift, Mahomes, Sophie Turner, Gigi Hadid, and Cara Delevingne.
Another source, though, said that the two have just been too busy with their successful jobs and relationships.
“Taylor and Selena don’t hang out as much as they used to because of life,” they said. Taylor is in the middle of the biggest tour ever and trying to see Travis at the same time.
“Only Murders in the Building and her relationship with Benny keep Selena busy.” For them to get in a hang, there aren’t enough hours in the day.
They said, “It is one of those friendships where, if they were in the same room, no matter how much time has passed, they would pick up right where they left off.” This meant that the pair’s friendship didn’t suffer because they didn’t hang out together as often.
It’s possible that they’ll run into each other again at award shows or if they’re in the same city, at a dinner.
An additional source said, “They talk all the time, but they haven’t been in the same city at the same time in a while.”
Fans are hoping that the two will be able to get back together through their work. Gomez said that she thinks Swift might be too busy to make an appearance on the new fifth season of Only Murders in the Building.
Ahead of the murder-mystery comedy, Gomez talked to E! News about the idea of having her friends join her, Steve Martin, and Martin Short.
Before the Pink Panther star joked that Swift calls them “every day” to ask to be on the show, she said, “She’s a little busy, you guys.”
According to the source, Swift could do something as si
