American pop icon Taylor Swift has refuted claims that she felt envious of her longtime friend, Selena Gomez, for getting married before her.
Reports surfaced after Gomez tied the knot with music producer Benny Blanco in late September, with Swift among the guests at the private ceremony. Following the wedding, rumours circulated that Swift had joked about Gomez “beating her to the altar” during her speech.
However, during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the “Love Story” hitmaker clarified the situation. She explained that her remarks at the wedding focused on their early years of friendship specifically how they used to dress and not on her own engagement.
“I made sure not to mention anything about my engagement,” Swift said, adding that she was genuinely thrilled to celebrate Gomez’s big day.
“I did some light teasing about how we dressed in 2008 the deep V-necks and colourful skinny jeans era,” she said with a laugh. “But mostly, I talked about how happy I am for her and how wonderful it’s been to be part of her journey. I definitely didn’t make it about me.”
Swift also revealed why she hadn’t shared details of her engagement to Travis Kelce with close friend Ed Sheeran, explaining that the British singer “doesn’t have a phone” and can only be contacted through email or FaceTime.
