Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have been close friends for over 17 years, and Selena\u2019s recent Instagram Story subtly showed that bond with a framed photo of the two in the background.<\/p>\n

The framed pic appears to be from the same photoshoot as a Tumblr-era throwback Taylor once shared for Selena\u2019s 24th birthday.<\/p>\n

The friendship dates back to 2008, when they first met while Selena was dating Nick Jonas and Taylor was dating Joe Jonas.<\/p>\n

Fave celeb besties? It\u2019s hard to say…but Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez<\/a> are definitely up there. After more than 17 years of friendship (!!), the two are still as tight as ever, and that was made clear from Selena<\/a>\u2019s latest Instagram Story, which\u2014if you look at it carefully\u2014you\u2019ll see includes a framed photo of her and Taylor<\/a> in the background.<\/p>\n

Which photo did she choose to frame, you ask? It\u2019s unclear when exactly the photo was taken, but it definitely seems to have been taken the same day as this glorious Tumblr-era throwback, which Taylor shared on Instagram in a since-deleted post for Selena\u2019s 24th birthday:<\/p>\n

For comparison, here is the Instagram Story Sel posted with her husband, Benny Blanco<\/a>, showing off their date night looks:<\/p>\n

And here is a zoomed-in look at that framed Tay + Sel pic:<\/p>\n

Definitely have similar vibes, no?<\/p>\n

As a reminder: Taylor and Selena first bonded back in 2008 when they were dating Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas, respectively. \u201cWe clicked instantly and, man, that was my girl,\u201d Selena later told WSJ Magazine<\/a> of their meeting, while Tay added, \u201cThere has always been this quality of sisterhood, and I don\u2019t say that in a basic way. I knew from when I met her I would always have her back. In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don\u2019t know if I can forgive someone who hurts her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most recently, Taylor stood by Selena\u2019s side while she married Benny, and she even gave a speech at the reception.<\/p>\n

During a September 2025 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Tay spilled all the deets on her speech<\/a>. \u201cI did do some light teasing about the way we used to dress in the year 2008\u2014the year that we met…Selena\u2014her favorite outfit back then was a very long tank top, skinny jeans, but a tiny little vest. The smallest vest, and Chucks, and that was her uniform that year. Mine was I always looked like I was late for the cowboy-themed junior prom.\u201d<\/p>\n

A look at said outfits:<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cSo I talked a little bit about 2008, how happy I am for her, how it\u2019s been beautiful to get to be a part of her life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to (at least) 17 more years of these two being BFFs.<\/p>\n
