Selena Gomez Shared the Sweetest Birthday Message for Taylor Swift
Today is a very special day for Taylor Swift fans. As any good member of her squad will tell you, December 13 marks the singer’s 28th birthday (hence her deep and never-ending love of the number 13).
While fans of the singer were busy tweeting up a storm wishing the “Look What You Made Me Do” singer a happy birthday, her famous friends were equally busy sharing selfies with Taylor on Instagram. First, model Karlie Kloss shared a throwback image of the with the simple message, “Happy happy birthday @taylorswift!”
Next, fellow model Lily Aldridge shared her own Taylor Swift picture on Instagram (and this one also featured Taylor’s cat, Meredith). She wrote in the caption, “We love you So So So So So Soooo MUCH!!! Happy Birthday @taylorswift!!!!!”
Yes, both of these shoutouts are nice—and Taylor surely appreciated them—but Selena Gomez wrote a heartfelt message to commemorate Taylor that has us near tears. “I’m glad you were born. You write all the thoughts some aren’t able to articulate. (ME!) Thank you for giving a voice to this world that is authentic and inspiring,” Selena wrote in an Instagram post alongside a brief, soundless video of the two giggling up a storm. “I wish some knew how big your heart actually is… it’s fierce, bold, and freaking wild with light. I’m glad you protect that. Love you @taylorswift.”

The two first met and became friends way back in 2008, when Taylor was dating Joe Jonas and Selena was dating his brother Nick. And according to Selena, their friendship was the best thing to come out of either relationship.
“We actually dated the Jonas brothers together! It was hysterical,” Gomez said in an interview with KISS FM in early December. “It was amazing because she was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked. It was the best thing we got out of those relationships.”
As for one day making everyone’s dreams come true and doing a duet with her BFF, Gomez said, “anytime, any place.” She added, “She has been a fighter, a warrior, and a friend through all of this.”
