Selena, who had also been out with Taylor the night before, was photographed smiling brightly at the camera. In a snakeskin coat, a matching mini skirt, and a black top, she looked stunning.

Meanwhile, the Bad Bloоd hitmaker held the iPhone camera with both hands while planting a kiss on her pal with her eyes closed.

Selena Gomez, 31, wished her bestie Taylor Swift a happy 34th birthday with a sweet Instagram post on Wednesday.

Swift, who Selena previously described as her “only friend in the industry,” wore a green sweater and houndstooth pattern mini skirt.

Selena and Taylor have been friends for over a decade and a half, having met in 2008 while dating two members of the Jonas Brothers.

The ladies celebrated their birthday on Tuesday night.

They were seen with Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh Sperry.

Despite being on the cover of Time Magazine’s Person of the Year issue, Swift appeared to have skipped the gala to celebrate her birthday with her friends a day early.

She effortlessly blended casual and chic looks with a striking leather trench coat as they visited the swanky members-only club Zero Bond.

Taylor had arrived in New York earlier that day, where she has a penthouse, after flying from Kansas City, Missouri.

Previously, she had been spending time with her Kansas City Chiefs star boyfriend Travis Kelce, 34.

Taylor’s apparent decision to skip the Time gala was surprising, given that she was scheduled to return to New York City on Tuesday solely to attend the ceremony.

Selena and Taylor have been friends for over a decade and a half, having met in 2008 while dating two members of the Jonas Brothers.

However, because the singer has long been loyal to her friends and members of her “squad,” she appeared to have preferred an intimate evening with Gomez and their friends over the high-profile event.

In October, it was reported that Gomez was concerned about her BFF’s relationship with Kelce. The multihyphenate is reportedly concerned that his friend Taylor is’moving too quickly’ with NFL star Travis.

According to a Page Six source, Taylor’s behavior in this new relationship is out of character for her given her history.

‘Selena thinks Taylor going to games and galivanting through New York right after meeting Travis is very unlike her,’ said the insider.

‘Historically, Taylor has always been very private about everything, and now that she’s in this [relationship], she’s so open about it that it’s very unusual for Selena,’ says a source.

Taylor split from actor Joe Alwyn earlier this year, despite being together for several years.

Selena was taken aback, according to a Page Six source, when she discovered Taylor was hanging out with Travis’s parents in the luxury box at his games just weeks after meeting her.

Selena, too, thought Taylor holding hands with Travis in public was strange, according to the source.

According to the source, Selena was invited to Travis’ games with other members of her squad, but she declined because she did not want to be a part of the “media frenzy.”

According to the source, the two longtime gal pals are “not in a figt” about their opposing viewpoints.
