Selena Gomez is over the moon as her best friend Taylor Swift says yes to one of the biggest milestones of her life. The Only Murders in the Building star shared her love and excitement after Swift announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce on August 26.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Gomez posted a photo from the dreamy garden proposal, writing, “When bestie gets engaged” with a heart emoji. She paired the moment with Queen’s timeless track You’re My Best Friend, making the tribute even more touching.
A Throwback Connection
Gomez also highlighted a nostalgic moment from 2009 by resharing an old Taylor Swift tweet that read:
“Real love still happens sometimes. It’s not just something we make up when we’re nine. I have to believe that. You do too.”
A fan had beautifully connected past and present by pairing that old tweet with engagement photos of both Gomez and Swift. Selena, who herself got engaged to music producer Benny Blanco in December 2024, reshared it with the caption “16 years later.”
Interestingly, Swift had also been equally excited during Gomez’s engagement, playfully commenting under her post: “Yes, I will be the flower girl.”
Celebrity Reactions Pour In
Swift and Kelce revealed their engagement on Instagram with a charming caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The proposal took place in a flower-filled garden where Swift flaunted her dazzling diamond ring.
Soon after, celebrities flooded the couple with wishes. Patrick Mahomes reshared the post with heart emojis, while Brittany Mahomes wrote, “Two of the most genuine people meet and fall in love. Just so happy for these two.”
Others who reacted included Jason Kelce, Kylie Kelce, Meghan Markle, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Maren Morris, Suki Waterhouse, and Sydney Sweeney, all showering love on the newly engaged pair.
