Pop icon Taylor Swift has responded to recent rumors claiming she felt jealous of her close friend Selena Gomez during Gomez’s wedding to Benny Blanco.
The speculation began after tabloids alleged Swift made a joke about Selena “beating her to the altar,” referencing Swift’s reported engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce.
Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Swift set the record straight, clarifying that she never mentioned her own engagement or made any comparison during her speech. She emphasized that her only intention was to keep the spotlight entirely on Selena’s big day.
The wedding, held in Santa Barbara, featured a star-studded guest list, with Taylor among the attendees celebrating the couple’s union.
Swift described the ceremony as “absolutely beautiful” and praised Selena as “the most beautiful bride.” She also reminisced about their early friendship, recalling fun moments from 2008, but stressed that her presence at the wedding was purely to celebrate, not compete.
Her graceful response and heartfelt support highlighted the strength of their friendship — proving that true friends celebrate each other’s milestones without comparison.
