Celeb BFFs: Taylor Swift & Selena Gomez

Celeb BFFs: Taylor Swift & Selena Gomez — Celebrities, they’re just like us! In that, they form lasting friendships and hang out with their pals as much as they possibly can. Of course, many of these friendships are formed in way more interesting ways than being deskmates at work, but hey, some of them meet filming TV shows and that’s sort of their version of a Work Wife, right?

One of our favorite celeb bestie duos is Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift. The two singers immediately became close friends when they dated Nick and Joe Jonas, respectively, in 2008. It’s been over a decade since then, but the pair have remained tight – they’ve done everything together from attend the Grammys to perform on Taylor’s tour to drink wine in Taylor’s apartment.

But Tay and Sel aren’t the only celebrities who’ve formed lasting bonds with fellow famous people. Keep clicking to see more pics of celebrity best friends!
