Selena Gomez's sister loves 'auntie' Taylor Swift
The Only Murders in the Building star's younger sibling, Gracie Teefey, turned 12 on Thursday (12.06.25) and though the 32-year-old star loves spending time with the youngster, Selena admitted the tween is far more interested in her good friend.
Selena shared a video on her Instagram Story, in which she sat on a bed while Gracie was by a TV, and when the youngster hit the remote, Taylor's video for The Man began to play.
Gracie told her sister: 'There, now we can watch the video too."
Selena captioned the clip: 'When she loves auntie Taylor more than me.'
The Lose You To Love Me singer also shared a carousel of photos of herself and Gracie over the years and she couldn't help but shed a tear over their bond.
She wrote: 'Happy birthday to my baby sissy. As I cry writing this, my heart melts because I know you know I'm always on your side. No matter what. I love you baby girl [heart emojis] (sic)"
Selena and Taylor, 35, first met in 2008 when dating Nick and Joe Honas respectively, and they very quickly became friends.
Taylor previously told The Wall Street Journal in 2020: 'I knew from when I met [Selena] 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.'
And Selena, 32, told how they "clicked instantly"
She said: 'That was my girl. We both went through s*** at the same time. She taught me a lot about how I should be treated at a young age.'
Selena previously praised Taylor as "one of the greatest songwriters" when she ran through some of the songs on her 'At Home with Selena Gomez' playlist, which included her friend's hit track Lover.
Of the song, she said: "There's nothing really to say other than this is another song that shows her ability to take it back to the old, to also combine it with her challenging to do new things with her music. I think that's as pure as that - I'll always, not even biased, just think she is one of the greatest songwriters."

George Michael would have approved of Taylor Swift tribute
George Michael's former partner believes the late singer would have been proud of Taylor Swift's upcoming tribute. The Bad Blood hitmaker announced her long-awaited new album, The Life of a Showgirl, earlier this week and among the tracks is a song called Father Figure, which will feature the melody from George's 1987 track of the same name. Kenny Goss - who was in a relationship with George from 1996 to 2009 - told TMZ the Careless Whisper singer would have totally approved of Taylor's song and while he never met the 35-year-old pop star before his death in 2016, the art dealer is pretty sure his former partner would have been a fan and appreciated someone of her standing taking an interest in his work. Kenny himself is a big fan of Taylor's music and though he had no idea she planned to interpolate Father Figure on her new album, it was a welcome surprise. Taylor announced The Life of a Showgirl earlier this week and has explained the prominent use of the colour orange in the artwork and promotional teasers for the record. During an appearance on the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, she said: "I've just always liked it ... It feels like energetically how my life has felt - and this album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during [The Eras Tour], which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant." The Karma singer also talked about the album's artwork, which shows her wearing a jewelled costume under the water in a bath and confessed the picture represents her at the end of a concert night because she always ends with a soak in the tub. She explained: "This represents the end of my night ... My show days are the same every single day, I just have a different city. And my day ends with me in a bathtub - not usually in a bedazzled dress ... [The album represents] the life beyond the show ... I would say it's everything that was going on behind the curtain." The Life of a Showgirl will be released on 3 October.

Taylor Swift explains The Life of a Showgirl's orange theme
Taylor Swift has explained the orange theme for her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl. The singer is returning with her latest record - which is due for release on October 3 - and she opened up about her use of the colour orange in the artwork and the promotional teasers explaining the hue represents how she was feeling while making the record during The Eras Tour which was "exuberant and electric and vibrant". During an appearance on the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, Taylor was asked about the significance of the colour orange and she replied: "I've just always liked it ... It feels like energetically how my life has felt - and this album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during [The Eras Tour], which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant." Taylor went on to talk about reuniting with producers Max Martin and Shellback for her 12th studio LP after previously working with the pair on her albums Red, 1989, and Reputation. She said: "One of the things about this record is, like, it's a record I made with my mentor Max Martin and Shellback. The three of us have made some of my favorite songs that I have ever done before. "They were my main collaborators on my Red album. We did We Are Never Getting Back Together, I Knew You Were Trouble, 22, Shake It Off, Blank Space, Style, Wildest Dreams, Ready for It, Delicate." She added of the paid: "They're just geniuses". Taylor also talked about the album's artwork, which shows her wearing a jewelled costume under the water in a bath and confessed the picture represents her at the end of a concert night because she always ends with a soak in the tub. She explained: "This represents the end of my night ... My show days are the same every single day, I just have a different city. And my day ends with me in a bathtub - not usually in a bedazzled dress ... [The album represents] the life beyond the show ... I would say it's everything that was going on behind the curtain."

Taylor Swift's new album The Life of a Showgirl: Travis Kelce, Blake Lively, Max Markson
Like an anti-Victoria Beckham (noted hater of her husband's football career), Taylor Swift has appeared on her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast to discuss her upcoming 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl , to be released on October 3. If listening to meatheads blabber for two hours while the world's biggest star benevolently gives their viewership numbers an artificial bump isn't your idea of a good time, just know that Taylor gave us vital details around the new album. Here's our premature evaluation. Taylor Swift's new album The Life of a Showgirl is coming in October. Credit: AP The return of Taylor Swift, pure pop paragon Let's face it, The Life of a Showgirl is already on track to be Taylor Swift's third-best album thanks to two words: Max Martin. The Swedish pop supremo and his producing partner Shellback – who were responsible for the best bits on Swift's best albums, Reputation and 1989 (yes, in that order) – are the credited producers on every track on the new album, confirming what everyone suspected after Swift this week shared a Spotify playlist highlighting their biggest hits for her, from 22 to Wildest Dreams . On her boyfriend's podcast, Swift said she recorded the album in Sweden during the European leg of her Eras tour and promised 'bangers'. It proves that Taylor reads her own reviews. After the Matty Healy-yearning fizzer that was The Tortured Poets Department , the critical consensus was that her once-fruitful relationship with producer Jack Antonoff had run its course, stalled at mid-tempo moodiness, and that she needed a refresh. Returning to the glory of yore might seem a reductive move, but let's not forget that Max Martin doesn't sleep: his recent work on Ariana Grande's Eternal Sunshine and The Weeknd's Hurry Up Tomorrow – including the pre-album smash Dancing in the Flames – show he's still got the Swede-est touch. Doing it with a broken heart? The highlight of Taylor's Tortured Poets era – beyond proving she has great taste in men – was I Can Do it with a Broken Heart , the album's second single and longest-charting hit. Its success surely inspired Taylor's latest pop pivot. She added the song to her Eras tours last year, complete with a showgirl aesthetic: feathers, canes and Old Hollywood glamour, which led me to assume that Taylor loved Margot Robbie's Babylon . The Life of a Showgirl 's album cover – showing a sexy Swift near-drowning in a bathtub – seems to point to that song's ideas: the lonely grind behind the glamorous pop life. As do the album's typically evocative track titles, including The Fate of Ophelia , Elizabeth Taylor and Cancelled! . Bubblegum pop with a sour centre: it's the best flavour. But is it a head fake? On the podcast, Swift said the album was inspired by the 'infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in my life' during her Eras tour and Kelce courtship, and said 'that effervescence has come through on this record'. OK, so why are you drowning in a bathtub on the cover, surrounded by the font from Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette then?
