Happy 21st birthday to my friend, and the closest thing I’ve ever had to a sister
After missing out on her friend’s celebrations in Hollywood on Monday because she was on tour, she made up for it with a special message.
The 23 year-old tweeted a photo of the pair posing together with the caption: ‘Happy 21st birthday to my friend, and the closest thing I’ve ever had to a sister.’
Taylor – who has a younger brother in real life – struck up a sisterly bond with Selena when she was 18 when they were dating two of the Jonas Brothers at the same time.
Taylor’s like a sister to me
Selena has spoken about their sibling-like friendship before, saying: 'Taylor’s like a sister to me… we dated the Jonas Brothers at the same time and ended up becoming best friends.’
‘She’s the one I call when I’m having any sort of sadness. She’s very nurturing and protective.’
The duo have remained close throughout subsequent relationships and breakups, and apparently held girly sleepovers when they both were single.
After her breakup with Justin Bieber, Selena told a TV host: ’Taylor hosts this thing at her house where all of our single friends – which is most of us – get together and get really bad junk food… its called the Lonely Girls Club.’
But Selena has since reunited with Bieber – and it is widely reported that BFF Taylor is not the biggest fan of his.
She hit headlines in May when she was caught on camera making a sick face as she stood by while Selena and Justin shared a kiss backstage at the Billboard Awards.
But if Taylor’s recent PDA for Selena is anything to go by, it looks like she intends to stick by her best friend whether she approves of her love life or not.
