Taylor Swift recently delivered an emotional and sincere speech at Selena Gomez’s party with Benny Blanco, a lovely moment in the 17-year friendship the two share. Entertainment Tonight states that it was revealed by an insider that Swift’s toast was “pretty long” and very personal, full of inside jokes and memories that they shared and revealed the extent of their friendship.
Us Weekly wrote that Swift looked back on Gomez’s path from heartbreak to healing, remembering instances where she’d seen Selena “crying on the floor” when her relationships fell apart. She put those sad scenes in contrast to the happiness Gomez has discovered with Benny Blanco, referring to it as “a best friend’s dream” to see such joy. Her words were an endearing sketch of two friends who have been through the ups and downs of life together.
The Daily Mail reported that Swift’s heartfelt speech had many of the guests, including Gomez, crying. She explained how their friendship has always been deeper than just a superficial friendship, labeling their bond as sisters rather than friends. Swift noted how they’ve always been there for each other even in personal and professional issues.
