Selena Gomez candidly revealed which tracks her long-time friend Taylor Swift wrote about her.
“‘Dorothea’ is about me,” the “Only Murders in the Building” star shared on her husband Benny Blanco’s “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast Tuesday.
Reflecting on the 2020 “Evermore” album track and how she and the Grammy winner met around the ages of 15 and 18, respectively, she said, “I feel like a lot of huge moments that were self-defining.”
“From relationships to family to love to hate, all of it in between — we were figuring it out [together],” Gomez, now 33, added.
“We didn’t really know what was going on,” she continued. “We’ve never seen each other any differently. So when I listen to it, I’m so impressed by how it’s eloquently put.”
“Ooh, you’re a queen,” Swift, now 36, sings in the track. “Selling dreams / Selling makeup and magazines / Ooh, from you I’d buy anything.”
Additionally, the actress shared that the hitmaker wrote a vault track titled “Family” about their friendship.
“It was over, easily, a decade ago, insinuating in the lyrics, without quoting, it is basically saying you have these amazing dreams,” Gomez recalled about the track that has yet to be released.
“You want to be in a movie, in every crowd I see you,” she explained. “Then her part was, you believe in my stupid dreams, like playing stadiums.
“Now, when I listen to those songs, both of those things have happened for us. And that’s really sweet because back then, she was just like, ‘I wrote this song about us and it was just our story,’ and it was the sweetest thing.”
Gomez and Swift became best friends when they both “dated the Jonas Brothers” in 2008.
“I dated Nick [Jonas], and she dated Joe [Jonas],” the Disney alum shared on the “Therapuss” podcast last August. “It was cute. We were young. … We didn’t know what we were doing.”
Gomez gushed that she and the “Lover” songstress now “like to say the best things [they] got out of those relationships was each other.”
When both couples called it quits that same year, Gomez and Swift “bonded over the breakup … as girls do.”
The duo has stuck together ever since, and the “Exile” singer was front and center at Gomez’s wedding to Blanco last September.
Swift also reportedly asked Gomez to be a bridesmaid at her forthcoming nuptials to fiancé Travis Kelce.
