They praised each other during separate interviews this week on Zane Lowe’s Beat 1 radio show last week.
Selena Gomez put her affection for her longtime friend Taylor Swift, 29, on full display Monday when she shared a shot of the two pop stars to her Instagram Stories with a sweet caption.
The friendly post appeared shortly after the 27-year-old actress and singer deleted a post plugging Kim Kardashian‘s SKIMS shapewear.
Best friends: Selena Gomez, 27, put her affection for her longtime friend Taylor Swift, 29, on full display Monday when she shared a shot of the two pop stars to her Instagram Stories with a sweet caption
Selena posted a selfie to her Insta Stories that featured her and Taylor standing side-by-side.
She rocked a minimal makeup look and sported a pair of silver hoop earrings.
Taylor was dressed in a gray outfit with pink socks, and she held up her adorable ragdoll kitten Benjamin Button.
‘My ride or die,’ she wrote at the top. ‘I would die for this one.’
Odd timing: Shortly before posting the Taylor photo, Selena deleted a plug for Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS, a possible attempt to shore up her friendship with Taylor, who has long feuded with Kim and her husband Kanye West
‘Thank you for forever being by my side,’ she continued below her photo.
‘You have taught me so much, walked through all of this with me, STAYED and you remind me to be a better human being. I’m on your side for life.’
Selena didn’t explain what prompted the ode to her friend, though its timing coincided with her deleting an Instagram Stories photo of her trying out a pair of Kim Kardashian’s new shapewear SKIMS.
‘Legit so freaking comfortable,’ she captioned a mirror selfie in the all-black leotard.

The Good For You surprised some of her fans when she promoted Kim’s product considering her friend Taylor’s long-standing feud with the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and her husband Kanye West.
Though some fans speculated that she posted the Taylor photo and deleted the SKIMS plug to shore up her friendship, Selena hasn’t clarified the move.
Selena and Taylor traded compliments last week when they appeared on Zane Lowe’s Beat 1 radio show on the same day, though in separate interviews.
Taylor went first and praised Selena’s new song Lose You To Love Me, calling it ‘the best thing she’s ever done.’
‘She came over, she played me the video. 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. I am 100 percent convinced this is the best thing she’s done so far.’
Ride or die: ‘[Taylor has been an] amazing [friend]… She was frustrated when I was frustrated; she was sad when I was sad. But more than anything, my friends stood by my side’; pictured with Justin Bieber in 2011
Selena seemed genuinely touched when Zane clued her in on Taylor’s statement.
‘[Taylor has been an] amazing [friend]… She was frustrated when I was frustrated; she was sad when I was sad. But more than anything, my friends stood by my side. I think they visibly saw me in so much pain. And they didn’t want it for me but they—’ she paused, becoming visibly emotional.
‘They never stopped loving me. And I played her the song, and I played it with her mom and dad, and I showed her the video and her mom and Taylor started crying.
‘And 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.” And that’s a huge thing for me.’
Selena confirmed last week that her single Lose You To Love Me referenced her break-up from her longtime on–off boyfriend Justin Bieber.
