Taylor Swift reacts to Selena Gomez’s engagement and reveals her role in the upcoming wedding

Taylor Swift had a joyful reaction to her longtime pal Selena Gomez’s engagement news.

The superstar, 34, took to the comments on the actress’ announcement post on Instagram and revealed her role at Gomez‘s, 32, upcoming wedding to Benny Blanco, 36.

‘Yes I will be the flower girl,’ Taylor — whose romance with NFL star Travis Kelce, 35, reportedly ‘concerned’ Selena — wrote. 

Taylor’s comment quickly garnered 172,301 likes in just an hour. 

Gomez shocked fans on Wednesday night by revealing she is now engaged to the record producer after a year and a half of dating.

The Only Murders in the Building star shared the first photos of her massive diamond engagement ring with her 422million followers. ‘Forever begins now..’ she captioned the post.

Swift and Gomez have been friends for more than 15 years.

The duo first became friends in 2008, while they were both dating Jonas Brothers: Taylor dated Joe, while Selena was with Nick.

Selena previously remarked that her friendship with Swift was ‘the best thing we got out of those relationships’ during a KIIS FM UK interview in 2017.

Selena also previously called Swift her ‘only friend in the industry.’

Meanwhile, in October it was reported that Gomez expressed concern about her BFF’s relationship with Kelce. At the time, the multihyphenate was said to be worried pal Taylor ‘is moving too fast’ with the football tight end. 

‘Selena thinks Taylor going to games and galivanting through New York immediately after just meeting Travis is something that is very unlike her,’ a source told Page Six at the time.

‘Historically, Taylor’s always been super private about everything, and now with this [relationship], she’s so open about it that it’s just very odd for Selena.’

The insider indicated that Selena has been invited to go to Travis’ games like some other members of Taylor’s squad but she declined as she did not want to be part of the ‘media frenzy.’

Taylor wasn’t the only star who expressed their joy over Selena’s engagement on Wednesday.

Selena’s husband-to-be wrote, ‘hey wait… that’s my wife.’ 

Friends star Jennifer Aniston sweetly wrote, ‘HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama!’ 

Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow wrote, ‘SELENAAAAAAA.’

Rapper Cardi B was shocked by the news, commenting, ‘Waiiiitttt hold on [surprised emoji] ❤️❤️❤️.’

Law and Order SVU star Mariska Hargitay also left a sweet comment, simply writing, ‘congratulations’ with red heart emojis. 

Ashley Benson wrote, ‘Congrats lovey. So happy for you.’

‘Congratulations beauty!’ Suki Waterhouse chimed in. Padma Lakshmi also left a ‘Congratulations.’

Lily Collins wrote, ‘Ahhhhhhhh yes yes yes!! Best news ever. Couldn’t be more happy for you both.’ 

‘YES !!!! Congratulations!!!!! So happy for you both!!!!’ actress Nina Dobrev shared.

Rapper Lil Nat X wrote, ‘OMMGGGGG CONGRATSSS AHHH.’

In her post Selena also included a photo of herself showing off her ring for the camera as Blanco wrapped his arm around her and kissed her head.

Blanco seemingly popped the question during a romantic nighttime picnic.

Gomez has been dating Blanco since June 2023, though she did not confirm the relationship until that December.

At the time, she used Instagram to confirm to fans that she’d been secretly dating the hitmaker for six months and that he was her ‘absolute everything.’

Previously, the Wolves songstress dated The Weeknd, Zedd, Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner and was linked to a number of other stars, including Zayn Malik and The Chainsmokers’ Andrew Taggart.

She also famously had an on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber, 30, that spanned eight years, before they called it quits in 2018. He is now married to model Hailey Bieber, 28, and they welcomed a baby son in August.

Before getting romantic, Gomez and Blanco were friends for over a decade and even worked on music together.

Last month, Blanco revealed that it was Gomez who made the first move.

‘She asked me out. It was crazy, it was crazy. She literally asked me… like we were just talking, and then she said, “You wanna get dinner?” And I went to the dinner, and I had no idea,’ he explained on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream.

Blanco claimed he wasn’t ‘nervous’ because he already knew Gomez on a personal and professional level.

Also last month, Gomez spoke about her ‘future’ with Blanco during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

She told the outlet that Blanco is the one man who has made her feel the ‘safest.’

‘This is the safest I’ve ever felt in [a relationship], and I see a future with this person,’ she told the outlet.
