Taylor Swift is known for having a huge group of friends. The singer has a crew that includes several A-listers such as Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper, Ice Spice, Sabrina Carpenter. She also often hangs with Lana Del Rey, Sophie Turner, Channing Tatum, and Zoe Kravitz. However, it seems that Selena Gomez doesn’t feel like she fits into the group anymore. Sources now claim that the friendship is hanging by a thread.
The Daily Mail reports that Selena Gomez has moved on with her life and is in a serious relationship with boyfriend Benny Blanco. She’s living a more low-key lifestyle than Taylor Swift. This has caused her to feel more mature than her longtime bestie and her squad.
“Selena feels like she has matured out of Taylor’s circle of friends,” an insider dished. “She has no desire to be out with Blake, or Ice Spice, or Brittany [Mahomes] or really any of those girls. In a lot of ways, she feels like an outsider now. She is not a cheerleader and never wanted to be,” the source continued.
Is Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez’s Friendship in Jeopardy?
The informant went on to reveal that Gomez and Swift have been very busy while focusing on their careers and their romantic relationships. In addition, double dates are “out of the question” because their boyfriends Benny Blanco and Travis Kelce would have “nothing to talk about.”
Meanwhile, Selena recently mentioned Taylor during her interview with Vanity Fair. She said that they do still talk and often like to compare notes on one of their favorite reality TV shows, Vanderpump Rules.
However, fans believe that the two have seemingly grown apart over the past year. Gomez has been focused on her acting, while Swift continues to pursue her incredible music career. They simply seem to be at different places in their lives.
“[Taylor’s] living her high school life in her 30s,” one person commented on the situation.
“It was noted before that Taylor wasn’t popular while at school, so having a girl squad seems to be like she’s living out some unfilled dream. But she remains in this revolving door, where past friends have opted to grow up and move on,” another fan noted.
“I’d take that as a compliment. Swift’s ‘squad’ act like school mean girls, which is a bit strange being as they’re middle-aged,” one comment read.
“The fact that Selena Gomez has “matured” says it all…good on Gomez! She always seems so sweet and genuine,” stated another online critic.
Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez haven’t made any public declarations about their friendship recently. However, it seems that they are both happily focused on their own personal lives, despite their allegedly friendship setback.
