Selena Gomez recalls 'sweet' origins of Taylor Swift friendship
Selena Gomez believes the "best thing" to come out of her relationship with Nick Jonas was her friendship with Taylor Swift. The Only Murders in the Building hitmaker began dating the Jonas Brothers star when she was 15 years old, around the same time the Blank Space singer was 18 and romancing Nick's sibling and bandmate Joe Jonas, and the two stars grew even closer when their respective relationships came to an end. Speaking on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast, Selena, now 33, said: '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 don'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.' Selena noted the pair went on to become "best friends" as they 'bonded over the break-up, as girls do.' She added: 'And then we just stuck around for all the ups and downs that came after and here we are now 16 years later." The Emilia Perez star - who is engaged to Benny Blanco - recalled how Taylor played her 2008 singer Love Story to her before it was released to the public and she was blown away by the track. She said: 'I believe Love Story was the first song she had ever played me and it wasn't released yet. 'Yeah, I was in a hotel room and I remember it vividly, it was just one of those songs I instantly heard and thought this is one of the most beautiful songs ever... "It was so sweet. She was like, 'Okay I just want to play you this song but just like you know, I don't know it's going to be the first single, I think, I think.' And just hearing her say those little thoughts and just listening to it. Yeah, she is a chameleon, she's incredible.' Selena and Taylor, 35, have both previously spoken of their storng bond. 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 the Rare Beauty founder 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 the Karma hitmaker 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."

Selena Gomez's sister loves 'auntie' Taylor Swift
Selena Gomez has joked her sister loves her "auntie" Taylor Swift more than her. 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.

David Sedaris on extreme fashion, meeting the pope and a second Trump term
David Sedaris has the ability to make his readers laugh one minute and then recognize a strange, shared truth the next. The essayist and author of 'Happy Go-Lucky' (2022) and the collected diaries 'A Carnival of Snackery' (2021) also has a love of avant garde clothing by brands like the Japanese house Comme des Garcons: It's fashion that's just as cutting edge and at times, absurd and specific as his writing. 'When I stand in front of the mirror, all I see are the clothes, I don't see me,' Sedaris, 68, said over a phone call from New York. 'It's not something that's ever too young for you, it's not sexy clothing.' More Information David Sedaris: 8 p.m. May 9-10. $136.98-$383.82. Uptown Theatre, 1350 3rd St., Napa. 707-259-0123. Both Sedaris and his sister, performer Amy Sedaris ('At Home with Amy Sedaris'), are both clients of the San Francisco boutique Modern Appealing Clothing, which specializes in innovative fashion. The humorist, who divides his time between England and New York, is touring to the Uptown Theatre in Napa on May 9-10, spoke to the Chronicle about fashion, his visit with the late Pope Francis at the Vatican and his thoughts on the second Trump administration. 'Last night I read that 36% of the population didn't vote,' said Sedaris. 'In a way, it was nice because I thought, 'OK, that's who I blame.' Then I googled people who didn't vote so I could just get a picture in my head of who to hate.' This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Q: What attracts you to extreme fashion? A: I guess if you looked at the pieces separately, you'd think, 'Oh that's really silly.' Comme des Garcons to me is like (how) the pope should dress. Well, actually papal clothing is really nice. … Last summer when I went to the Comme des Garcons show in Paris, I had this pair of shorts that I bought that look like you're wearing two pairs of shorts and the second pair is falling down. I thought, I'm going to bring them there and give them to somebody, and there was a young man outside of the hall, there's no way he was getting into the show. I went up to him and I said in French, 'Excuse me, are you poor? Can I give you these shorts?' He said, 'Find someone else.' I've worn them once. Q: There's someone in the world who said no to Comme des Garcons shorts from David Sedaris? A: Yes, but I found this kid in Chicago who came to one of my shows wearing a Comme des Garcons shirt. We're the same size, so I send him stuff all the time now. When you take it to a thrift store, the problem now is so many people buy it just to resell it, so the person who doesn't have any money is never getting it. A: No, and I'm so mad. The best dressed person was Conan O'Brien's wife (Liza Powel O'Brien.) I wore this suit that I bought a couple of years ago because I was in London at the time. I should have just gone full, flat-out wild Comme des Garcons. Q: So many Comme des Garcons pieces already feel papal, so I wasn't surprised to hear you bought a priest's cassock in Rome. A: It's really well made and a great piece of clothing. I wore it one night going out to dinner. It was so interesting the reactions it got. Q: Did you wear the Roman collar? A: Yes. Q: Did people greet you as 'Father?' A: No. People who saw me from a distance, they watched me and as we got up close, they averted their eyes. But I was in England, I wasn't in a Catholic country. Q: One of the things I've admired in your work is how through finding the peculiar detail, you find something universal that people recognize. I wonder if that's the answer to some of our cultural divisions? A: I was in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago doing a show. I had written in a graduation speech, 'Find one thing to be angry at instead of spreading your anger too thin.' A woman asked, 'What are you angry about?' I said, 'I'm really angry about the way that (Volodymyr) Zelensky was treated in the White House.' So many people came up afterwards, I think they just wanted to be in a room full of people who felt that way. You don't want to preach to the converted. That's what fables are so good for — you can take a step back and you can write about something that's current, and then there comes a point at the end where they think, 'Oh, that's me.' There's a way to sneak up on people, but you have to sneak up on them because I feel like if somebody says what I expect them to, my defenses go up. A: I was reading an article in the New York Times, then I looked at responses. They really take care with it. You get the idea that they are auditioning for a job as an op ed editor. Everyone's heard it all, and outrage isn't comforting to me. How many times can you say, 'This person's a dangerous monster?' I do feel it's interesting right now before we plunge headlong into a recession, that people want to laugh. I don't know what's going to happen if the economy keeps going like this and they won't be able to afford to spend money to laugh, but right now anyway, they see that as a pretty good use of their dollars.
