Selena Gomez got to listen to a very special Taylor Swift classic before its release in 2008.
The Only Murders in the Building actress opened up about her friendship with Swift during the August 7 episode of Therapuss with Jake Shane, revealing that she listened to "Love Story" before the hitmaker gifted the single to the rest of the world.
"I believe 'Love Story' was the first song she ever played me, and it wasn’t released yet. … It was in a hotel room, and I remember it vividly. It was just, like, one of those songs I instantly heard and thought, ‘This is one of the most beautiful songs ever.’ So at that age, we became best friends."
Gomez, 15 at the time, and the "Karma" songstress, 18, grew close while dating Jonas Brothers' Nick and Joe (the same year the track was released), and their friendship continued long after their breakups.
"Taylor and I dated the Jonas Brothers. I dated Nick, and she dated Joe. And everything was... It was cute. We were young. We all know and love each other now, and it’s so cute. We didn't know what we were doing. She and I like to say the best thing we got out of those relationships was each other, because it was really sweet. And then we just stuck around for all the ups and downs that came after, and here we are now 16 years later."
