After taking a break from Instagram for over three months, Taylor Swift finally made her return to social media to show some major love for Selena Gomez‘s new album with fiancé Benny Blanco—making it clear exactly where her loyalty lies amid rumors of fallouts with other famous friends.

“@selenagomez & @itsbennyblanco I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH. OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD,” Swift, 35, wrote on her Instagram Stories, sharing a link to the couple’s newly released project, I Said I Love You First, which dropped on March 21, 2025.
The public show of support for Gomez, 32, comes as Swift’s relationships with Blake Lively, Jaime King, and Brittany Mahomes have reportedly cooled. Sources close to King recently revealed to the US Sun that despite Swift being godmother to King’s 9-year-old son Leo, the two women “are not close anymore and don’t talk, but there is still love.”
The insider noted that Swift continues to send gifts to her godson on special occasions and would “be there in a heartbeat” if needed. “She has always taken her godmother role and duties very seriously,” the source explained, adding that “their relationship is a lot different now than it was back when Jaime asked Taylor to be his godmother.”
King, 45, and Swift became inseparable after meeting at a 2014 Golden Globes party, with their friendship once so strong that King asked Swift to be Leo’s godmother just one year later. The cooling of this friendship coincides with King’s difficult divorce from Kyle Newman in 2020, which has involved serious allegations and custody battles.
Meanwhile, Swift’s once-close friendship with Blake Lively has reportedly become complicated amid Lively’s legal battle with actor Justin Baldoni. According to Page Six sources, Swift feels “used” in the situation, with her name allegedly appearing in court documents related to the dispute.
As for NFL wife Brittany Mahomes, who became a fixture at Swift’s side during Kansas City Chiefs games while the singer supported boyfriend Travis Kelce, insiders suggest the friendship is simply on pause. “Swift and Kelce aren’t hanging out with Patrick and Brittany right now,” an insider told MailOnline, clarifying that “the two couples aren’t avoiding each other because of any tension, they just have other priorities right now.”
In contrast, Swift’s friendship with Gomez remains strong. Just days before Swift’s supportive post, Gomez shared a “really funny” story during Spotify’s Countdown To series about attending one of Swift’s recent parties with Blanco. “As a couple we went to Taylor’s party after some awards show,” Gomez said, adding that their punctuality left her feeling embarrassed. “I don’t know it was kind of cute, but I was mortified. Apparently cool people don’t show up to parties on time.”
Blanco added his perspective: “We’re the first people at every single party when I go with you. You show up when like my mother shows up to a party. No, I thought you were gonna talk about the fact that no one knew we were dating and we were hiding.”
As Swift continues her record-breaking Eras Tour and navigates her relationship with Kelce, her inner circle appears to be evolving. Her deliberate Instagram return to support Gomez suggests she’s being pretty selective about which friendships she’s publicly supporting during this busy period in her life.
