In her Instagram Story, Gomez penned a touching tribute to Swift, referring to her as the “goddess.” Alongside the photo, she wrote, “Happy birthday to the goddess who is [Taylor Swift],” expressing her love and admiration for the renowned singer.

Gomez, who recently unveiled her “bronde” hair transformation, has added another accolade to her name. She received a Golden Globe nomination for her outstanding performance as Mabel Mora in the third season of “Only Murders in the Building.”

The series itself earned a nomination for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy. Gomez’s co-stars, Steve Martin and Martin Short, received nominations for Best Actor in a TV Series – Musical or Comedy. Notably, Meryl Streep secured a nod for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Loretta Durkin.

Reflecting on his initial thoughts about working with Gomez, Martin Short admitted to having concerns, fearing that she might be a challenging co-star. Due to the limitations imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, their initial interactions were limited to virtual meetings.

Short shared his thoughts, saying, “The first day we shot, I had never met Selena. Because of COVID, we’d only Zoomed. And I was driving to work and I thought, ‘I wonder what Selena could be like?’ I mean, she could be a nightmare. She could be a pop princess nightmare.”

However, Short’s concerns were swiftly dispelled as he got to know Gomez on the set of “Only Murders.” Contrary to his initial worries, Gomez proved to be a delight to work with. He praised her professionalism, stating, “Right away — from the first second we started to the make-up room — it was, like, fabulous.” According to Short, Gomez consistently exhibited punctuality, mastery of her lines, and an overall talent that made the collaboration truly fabulous.

Selena Gomez’s heartfelt birthday tribute to Taylor Swift not only showcased their enduring friendship but also provided fans with a glimpse into the success and recognition Gomez continues to achieve in her career, including her recent Golden Globe nomination. As the duo navigates the entertainment industry, their bond remains a symbol of unwavering support and genuine camaraderie.
