Selena Gomez reflects on ‘bonding’ with Taylor Swift over Jonas Brothers breakups

August 7, 2025 – Radio 854 Music News

Selena Gomez is getting candid about her long-time friendship with Taylor Swift — and how their connection was forged through heartbreak and shared experiences in the spotlight.

In a recent interview, the “Single Soon” singer opened up about the early days of her friendship with Swift, revealing that one of their first bonding moments came when they were both dealing with breakups from members of the Jonas Brothers. Gomez famously dated Nick Jonas in 2008, while Swift was briefly linked to Joe Jonas the same year.

“We actually dated the Jonas Brothers at the same time! It was hysterical,” Gomez shared with a laugh. “It was just something we bonded over — we kind of went through the same thing at the same time.”

Though their relationships with the Jonas siblings didn’t last, the heartbreak sparked something far more lasting: a deep friendship that’s spanned over 15 years.

“Taylor was the first person who really made me feel like I wasn’t alone in what I was going through,” Gomez added. “She’s been such a constant in my life. No matter where we are or what we’re doing, we always come back to each other.”

Both stars have since moved far beyond their teenage romances. Gomez has grown into a successful singer, actress, and beauty mogul, while Swift has become one of the most influential artists in pop history. But their friendship — which fans have dubbed a “pop power duo” — has remained rock solid.

Gomez and Swift have frequently shown support for each other’s projects, performed together on stage, and spoken glowingly about one another in interviews over the years.

“Our bond is deeper than any headline,” Gomez said. “We’ve seen each other at our best and worst. And we’re still here.”

For fans of both artists, it’s heartwarming to know that even pop royalty bond over awkward teen breakups — and sometimes, that heartbreak leads to a friendship that outshines any boyband romance.
