Selena Gomez has confirmed Taylor Swift wrote the song, Dorothea, about her.
During an appearance on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast on Tuesday, the singer-actress opened up about her longtime friendship with the music superstar while speaking with her husband, Benny Blanco, and his co-host Lil Dicky.
“Well, Dorothea is about me – one of her songs. I feel like a lot of huge moments that were self-defining, from relationships to family to love to hate, (and) all of it in between,” she began. “We were figuring it out because I was 15 and she was 18, and we didn’t really know what was going on. So, we’ve never seen each other any differently. So, when I listen to it, I’m so impressed (by) how it’s eloquently put.”
Dorothea was included on Taylor’s 2020 album Evermore and included lyrics like, “You’r\u0435 a queen sellin’ dreams, sellin’ makeup and magazines”.
Selena went on to share that the 36-year-old penned another song about her, titled Family, “easily a decade ago”.
The lyrics of the track highlight their ambitions at the time, with the Only Murders in the Building actress wanting to pursue a career in Hollywood and the Opalite hitmaker seeking to play sold-out concerts at stadiums.
“Now, when I listen to that song, both of those things have happened for us,” the 33-year-old continued. “We survived it, as best as we could… It’s absolutely unbelievable to come from 17 years of friendship, from multiple heartbreaks, and love stories, and fond stories and life – we both ended up, fortunately, being engaged around the same time, and that was the coolest.”
Selena and Benny got engaged in December 2024 and tied the knot last September, while Travis Kelce popped the question to Taylor last August.
Elsewhere in the conversation, the Lose You To Love Me star revealed that Taylor made her a one-of-a-kind artwork for her 30th birthday, which incorporated their star signs and a hand-embroidered message.
“She painted a beautiful lake. It was at night, and the moon was there. In the stars, she painted our exact star signs,” she smiled, adding that the canvas features the words, “Here’s to the next 30 years.”
Responding to the story, the record producer insisted it was “one of the best” paintings he’s ever seen and compared it to artwork by the late Jean-Michel Basquiat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Selena Gomez has confirmed Taylor Swift wrote the song, Dorothea, about her.During an appearance on the Friends Keep…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":630984,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[55592,269118,171,269119,975,55017,3571,3572,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-630983","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-benny-blanco","9":"tag-dorothea","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-longtime-friendship","12":"tag-music","13":"tag-selena-gomez","14":"tag-taylor-swift","15":"tag-travis-kelce","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116169494209335165","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/630984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
