Taylor Swift couldn’t miss Selena Gomez’s big day, and of course, she was one of the people expected to speak at the celebration. Recently, the details of Tay’s touching speech for her best friend Selenita surfaced, and it has already melted everyone’s hearts.
On September 27, Selena Gomez married Benny Blanco in a wedding that remains mostly private, as paparazzi were unable to capture much about the guests or what went on inside. But now, reports have begun circulating about what Taylor said at the ceremony.
Taylor Swift’s Emotional Speech at Selena Gomez’s Wedding
According to outlets like the Daily Mail, Taylor Swift delivered a speech during Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s wedding, where she reflected on everything the two have been through together in both their personal and professional lives. She spoke about how, whenever one of them went through heartbreak, the other was always there to offer unconditional support.
Taylor went on to say that she realized her friend had found the right person, someone who allowed Selena to “just be herself,” and that’s how she fell in love with Benny. She even called the newlyweds the “perfect couple” and admitted she had never seen Selena so happy in all the years she has known her.
The speech wasn’t all tears, though — it also had lighthearted moments. With humor, Taylor joked that Selena had beaten her to the altar, but at least “they had both found love.” She also mentioned that while Selena sees Taylor as her older sister, Taylor has always viewed Selena as one of her greatest teachers.
Finally, our favorite Swiftie closed her heartfelt words with: “It’s not luck that you found each other. It’s love.” The moment reportedly ended with applause, laughter, and tears from the guests, moved by the friendship between two women who have shared so much and continue to grow together in life.
Taylor and Selena first met back in 2008, when they were both teenagers dating two of the Jonas Brothers. They spent so much time together that their friendship blossomed into a sisterhood that, 17 years later, has only proven to be stronger with time.
