Gomez and Swift are now one of Hollywood's power-couple friendships.
Gomez furthered her own music career and even performed "Hands to Myself" with Swift during a May 2018 Reputation tour stop.
While on stage, Gomez gave a tribute to her longtime pal in front of Swift's fans.
"The reason why she's one of my best friends is because this person has never, ever judged me for a decision I've made. She's always met me where I've been," Gomez said onstage during the show. "She encouraged me when I had nothing to be encouraged about. And I don't know if I would be as strong as I am if I didn't have you and your family."
Swift and Gomez are still close friends, and often show encouragement for each other online.
When Swift released "Lover" and Gomez released "Lose You to Love Me" from her album "Rare," both of them promoted the other's songs on their Instagram stories.
In August 2020, Gomez said that she's "always dreamt of doing a song with Taylor."
That same month, she launched her new HBO Max cooking show, and Swift made a surprise video-call appearance on one of the episodes. She introduced Swift to celebrity chef Roy Choi as her "best friend."
Since the release of "Evermore," fans have started to theorize that the song "Dorothea" is about Gomez.
When Swift dropped her rerecording of "Love Story" in the lead up to the release of "Fearless (Taylor's Version)," Gomez posted to her Instagram Story, writing, "So proud of you, as always, Tay ... LISTEN to THIS album"
In November 2021, Swift posted a TikTok of her and Gomez hanging out backstage during "Saturday Night Live."
During a June interview on USA Today's "Entertain This" series, Gomez said "Taylor really loved" season two of her Hulu show, "Only Murder in the Building."
In July 2022, the friends also got together to celebrate Gomez's 30th birthday. And Gomez went to a Texas show of Swift's Eras Tour.
The friends celebrated the Fourth of July together this year a few days before Swift released "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)."
Gomez also attended an LA show of Swift's Eras Tour, and the friends have been spotted hanging out in LA and NYC recently.
