Gomez’s sweet post came after fans questioned her decision to post a selfie of herself wearing SKIMS,Kim KardashianWest’s shape-wear brand.
Speaking recently with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1’s new show New Music Daily, Gomez spoke about herappreciation for Swift and her family.
“I played her this song and I played it with her mom and dad, and I showed her the video. Her mom and Taylor started crying,” continued Gomez. “It wasn’t because the song was emotional, it was just because the first thing they said to me was, ‘We’re so happy that you’re here. After seeing all of that, this is such a cool moment.’ That’s a huge thing for me.”
Last week, Swift supported her friend on Instagram, calling Gomez’s song a “perfect expression of healing & my absolute favorite song she’s put out yet.”
The “Lover” singer also told Zane Lowe during her own stop at his show that Gomez’s emotional ballad is “the best thing she’s ever done.”
“I’m so proud of her. She’s been through so much. I’ve watched so much happen in her life and had a front-row seat to so much, and I’m so proud of her. She is such a revelation because now she’s making her best stuff,” said Swift. “I am 100 percent convinced this is the best thing she’s done so far. Just from my perspective as her friend, I’ve just never been more proud. The things that she’s overcome, the situations that she’s risen above.”
In May 2018, Gomez told60,000 fansabout her unbreakable bond with Swift when she gave a surprise performance of “Hands to Myself” at the Rose Bowl during her pal’s massive Reputation Stadium Tour.
“This person has never, ever judged a single decision I’ve made. She’s always met me where I’ve been,” she said on stage. “She’s encouraged me when I’ve had nothing to be encouraged about, and I don’t know if I would be as strong as I am if I didn’t have you and your family because you’ve changed my life.”
