Swift said of Gomez: “That quality of sisterhood has always existed, and I’m not saying that in principle. When I met her I knew I would always have her back. In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don’t know if I can forgive someone who hurts her.”

Gomez added, “There’s so much about my friendship with Taylor that people don’t know about because we don’t necessarily feel the need to post about everything we do. She showed up for me in ways I never expected. I flew in because I was injured and going through something. Things that were going on with my family. It has been proven year after year and in every moment of my life that she is one of my best friends in the world. We don’t agree on everything, but we respect each other on everything.”
