Eight years after ‘Bad Blood’, Selena Gomez is still a member of Taylor Swift’s squad.
Gomez and her 9-year-old sister, Gracie Elliott Teefey, were in the audience at Swift’s concert on Saturday in Arlington, Texas. Both arrived at AT&T Stadium dressed appropriately, with Gracie in a replica of Swift’s purple dress from 2010’s “Speak Now” and Gomez in a knit cardigan reminiscent of 2020’s “Folklore.”
During the show, Gracie got a special surprise when Swift knelt by the stage to remove her fedora.
Immediately after the show, Gomez congratulated her friend on her sold out performance.
“Thank you dear for transporting me and my little girl into your mystical, euphoric and special world,” the “Only Murders in the Building” actor wrote on Instagram. “Nice to meet you! I love you forever.
Gomez and Swift were first linked in the media in 2008 when they were dating Nick and Joe Jonas respectively. In 2015, Gomez made a very hot appearance in Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video alongside Lena Dunham, Kendrick Lamar and Ellen Pompeo.
About a year before the release of “Bad Blood,” Swift described her friendship with Gomez as “the longest I think either of us have had, really.”
“When your life changes and you’re thrown into this really weird vortex where your life is different from what other people think your life is,” Swift told E! News. “And your life is commented on and your life is written and fictionalized and everything else. We both stuck and stayed there through all the changes we went through.”

Gomez echoed those sentiments in a 2019 interview with New York radio station 103.5 KTU.
“He played ‘Fearless’ to me before it came out,” she said, referring to Swift’s 2008 album. “I remember that feeling because we’ve been best friends ever since. And for her to see where I am and for her to see where I am, it’s so… so amazing. And I’m a big fan at the same time.”
Swift’s Eras tour is on track to become the biggest concert tour of all time, with an estimated $591 million in ticket sales in the United States alone, according to Billboard.
Since the tour kicked off last month, Swift has caused waves of shoutouts on stage for other stars and some surprise guests. When her show landed in Las Vegas, she congratulated Lana Del Rey on the release of ‘Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd’, her ninth album, before performing ‘Snow on the Beach,” a song the pair recorded for. .
