Selena Gomez sends new songs to friend Taylor Swift 'because she's super honest'

Selena Gomez is grateful for "very sweet" support from her longtime friend Taylor Swift.

"Taylor Swift gave you the ultimate shout out over the weekend," reporter Emily Curl asked the Only Murders in the Building star on Thursday. "How did it feel seeing that and seeing her support?"

"You know with Taylor I value her support and her opinion so much, because she's super honest," Gomez responded.

Swift shared the "I Said I Love You First" cover art to her Instagram story on Saturday with the caption, "I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD."

iHeartRadio shared the interaction on X where the 32-year-old singer was promoting her emotionally rich album she collaborated with fiancé Benny Blanco.

Gomez admitted before any songs hit the airwaves or streaming sites, she sends songs to Swift. "I have always played her – off any of my albums – the top two I like to see and what she thinks."

After almost two decades of friendship, Gomez said Swift offers an unfiltered opinion. Some songs are "OK" while others are "knockouts": "Like when I played her 'Lose You to Love Me' before it came out and she and her amazing mom started crying and then I started crying and it's very sweet."
