Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have an enduring friendship.

The pop singers first crossed paths when they were each dating a Jonas brother back in 2008 (Swift was seeing Joe Jonas while Gomez was linked to Nick Jonas) and they ended up becoming close pals as a result.

Over the years, the two have given us many glimpses of their close bond, including cheering each other on at award shows, celebrating big milestones together, and even working with each other on a few occasions.

Gomez has shared the stage with Swift during several of her tours and previously appeared in the singer’s “Bad Blood” music video.

Take a look back at Gomez and Swift’s sweetest friendship moments ahead.

“We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical,” Gomez told KISS FM UK in 2017. “It was amazing, because [Taylor] was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked,” Gomez said — before jokingly adding, “It was the best thing we got out of those relationships.”
