Selena Gomez might be on better terms with her mother, Mandy Teefey, or so it seems, according to the mother's new sit-down with ET, where the pair discussed Instagram's most followed user's career among other topics.

In promotion for Teefey's production company, Kicked to the Curb Productions, and Season 2 of its hit series, 13 Reasons Why, the superstar's mom sat down with the outlet for a Facebook Live chat and she had nothing but positive things to say about Gomez and her current social circle, including her friendship with Taylor Swift

"What I love about that friendship is it's so solid, and with Taylor, I feel like they can tell each other anything, and it will be an honest, in-your-best-interest kind of relationship," Teefey reflected. "It's not about anything else, and it's one you don't just find out here. With Taylor, what you see is what you get. She is who she is, and that's why she's so grounded and, like, works so hard, and she's always been there for Selena. It's so hard to find someone who is kind of the same audience and it's so cutthroat right now .... they came up together, they just have never parted, so it's really a true friendship."

Teefey also recalled a moment when Swift extended her kindness to her youngest daughter, 4-year-old Gracie. "It's really cute because when Gracie was born, Taylor bought her, like, boxes of clothes," she revealed. "So, when Gracie went backstage to talk to her, Gracie had bought her a bunch of clothes too, and wanted to give it back."
