Gomez’s longtime bestie Swift, 35, hinted early on that she was invited to the wedding, having previously joked that she’d partake in the procession as “the flower girl” after Gomez announced her engagement on Dec. 11, 2024.
A source told PEOPLE that Swift and Ed Sheeran, 34, both gave speeches during Gomez and Blanco’s wedding reception.
“At the reception, everyone was letting loose and celebrating them well into the night,” the source said. “The vibe was so much fun.”
“They were glowing all night, and both Selena and Benny couldn’t stop smiling. There was so much love in the room,” the insider added.
Swift and Gomez became “best friends” after they dated Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas, respectively, as teenagers. “I like to say the best thing we got out of those relationships was each other because it was really sweet,” Gomez said on the Aug. 7 episode of the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast, later adding, “We just stuck around for all the ups and downs that came after and here we are now 16 years later.”

Wizards of Waverly Place alum Stone, 32, has known Gomez since they were teenagers, so it’s no surprise that she attended the wedding.
Stone starred on the hit Disney Channel series as Harper Finkle, the best friend of Gomez’s character, Alex Russo, for four seasons since the sitcom premiered in 2007. A clip from that year, in which a younger Gomez was interviewed about her look for the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party, recently went viral, so Stone playfully poked fun at her longtime friend while showcasing her wedding guest attire.
In a video posted on Instagram and TikTok on Sunday, Sept. 28, Stone reenacted and mouthed Gomez’s 2007 interview while showing fans her one-shoulder magenta gown. “Just a little something blue…for the Teen Vogue party,” she captioned her post, referring to how Gomez talked about the blue streak in her hair 18 years ago, telling the interviewer at the time, “I’ve got some blue going on! I like a little edge, a little pop in my hair, so I wanted to add something different, especially for the Teen Vogue party.”
Stone liked the top comment on TikTok, which read, “🥹🥹you were at the royal wedding!!!”

Only Murders in the Building alums Park, 34, and Delevingne, 33, plus The Vampire Diaries star Dobrev, 36, and makeup artist Jenna Nicole also went to the wedding together. In videos en route to the ceremony, posted by Park on her Instagram Stories, the women sang a rendition of The Dixie Cups’ “Chapel of Love,” before chanting, “Selena’s getting married!”
“The most beautiful and deserved happily-ever after / beginning of new chapter … to witness you and @itsbennyblanco and both of your proclamations of love will be a treasured memory forever. Love you @selenagomez 🥹❤️,” Park wrote in another Instagram Stories snap on Monday, Sept. 29, while sharing Gomez’s wedding post.

Photos of Stevens at the wedding have yet to be seen, but she shared Gomez’s wedding post on her Instagram Stories, adding three white heart emojis. Stevens has been in Gomez’s inner circle for years as a close friend and collaborator, and has been featured in various media, including Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me and Selena + Chef.
Gomez took part in Lopez’s bridal shower in 2019, was DeLeon’s maid of honor in 2019, and attended Carpenter’s bridal shower in 2023. The Only Murders in the Building star even has matching tattoos with Lopez and Stevens, as well as friend Ashley Cook, who was at Gomez’s bachelorette party.

Gomez celebrated her bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, about a month before her wedding. She and her friends were spotted dancing, laughing and soaking up the sun on a luxury yacht Aug. 23.
“A little recap of an amazing weekend celebrating finding forever love.🤍💍,” DeLeon captioned an Instagram post on Sept. 1, sharing several photos from the getaway.

On Aug. 28, Gomez gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse into her bachelorette getaway, sharing several photos via Instagram of her bridal attire, including a veil with “bride to be” embroidered on it. In another snap, she posed in front of a balloon banner that spelled out “Mrs Levin” (Blanco was born Benjamin Joseph Levin).
Back in 2019, Gomez appeared with friends Stevens, Cook and Lopez on Stevens’ Giving Back Generation series. The ladies had a deep discussion about what makes their friendship work and how “crucial” it is for women to foster long-term bonds.

“A call to action based on friendship is to know that no matter where you are in life, the people that you surround yourself with, is crucial. You are who you surround yourself with,” Gomez said at the time. “I know that’s sad but you really have to think about those words. I could have found other friends in my industry or town that wouldn’t have been healthy for me or took me in a different direction. So I do feel it is important to surround yourself with people who can lift you up.”
She continued, “My friend always says if you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room, and I believe all of you are obviously intelligent, beautiful and kind, and share and have so much to offer in the world.”
Other notable guests at the wedding were Steve Martin, Martin Short, Paul Rudd, Édgar Ramírez, Zoe Saldaña, Paris Hilton, SZA, Camila Cabello, Eric André and Finneas.
