Taylor Swift is already planning her involvement in longtime friend Selena Gomez’s wedding to Benny Blanco! On Wednesday, Dec. 11, Gomez, 32, announced that she and Blanco, 36, were engaged with a sweet Instagram post, and Swift, 34, made sure to share her excitement in the comments section.
“Yes I will be the flower girl,” the pop superstar wrote.
Gomez confirmed her and Blanco’s engagement by sharing multiple snaps; including a close-up photo of her pear-shaped diamond ring, a selfie of herself beaming while showing fans the jewelry, as well as a cute shot of Blanco kissing his wife-to-be while she smiled and held up her hand. Another photo showed Gomez admiring her ring while sitting on a picnic blanket with a Taco Bell box by her side.
“Forever begins now..” the Only Murders in the Building star captioned the post.
Blanco responded in the comments section, “hey wait… that’s my wife.”

Swift has been friends with Gomez since they both dated a Jonas brother back in 2008 (she was seeing Joe Jonas while Gomez was linked to Nick Jonas). The “Fortnight” hitmaker wasn’t the only celebrity sending their well-wishes on Wednesday following the exciting announcement.
“HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama! ❤️💫,” Jennifer Aniston commented.
Ashley Benson wrote, “Congrats lovey. So happy for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️” as Mariska Hargitay said, “♥️💃🏻congratulations 💃🏻♥️”
Lil Nas X replied, “OMMGGGGG CONGRATSSS AHHH” as Suki Waterhouse said, “Congratulations beauty!” and Gwyneth Paltrow added, “SELENAAAAAAA”
Cardi B also commented, “Waiiiitttt hold on 😱😱😱😱😱❤️❤️❤️” as Lily Collins responded, “Ahhhhhhhh yes yes yes!! Best news ever. Couldn’t be more happy for you both ❤️❤️❤️❤️” Gomez and Blanco started dating in June 2023 after they teamed up for the 2019 single “I Can’t Get Enough” with Tainy and J Balvin.
In August 2023, Gomez then released the Blanco-produced single “Single Soon,” before confirming their relationship that December when she liked fan account posts on Instagram of the pair, even commenting, “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” on one. The pair made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Emmys in January, before Gomez spoke to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about their relationship the following month.
“Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,” she said. “I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But I’d have to say overall it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”
In May, Blanco teased that he could see marriage in the future when asked about Gomez during an interview on The Howard Stern Show. “When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this,” he said at the time.
