Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift: Best Friends Forever

Swift met Gomez over a decade ago during a Jonas Brothers concert when they were dating Joe and Nick respectively. Since then, the two have been inseparable.

Earlier this year, Gomez joined Swift onstage at a concert in California to talk about their enduring friendship over the years.

"I want to say thank you to my best friend of about 12 years, almost 13," the former Disney star stated. "And the reason why she has been one of my best friends is because this person has never, ever judged a single decision I've made."
