Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s wedding was nothing short of a Hollywood fairytale, and Taylor Swift’s wedding speech added to the excitement. The couple tied the knot in Montecito, California, celebrating across three venues. A-listers, including SZA and Camilla Cabello, attended the ceremony, but all eyes were on Gomez’s longtime friend, Swift. The “Cruel Summer” hitmaker did not disappoint, and her sentimental toast did not go unnoticed.
Taylor Swift mentioned ‘inside jokes she shares with Selena’ in wedding reception speech, source claims
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s wedding was a star-studded affair. The couple’s close friends and family attended the wedding, with Taylor Swift among them. Entertainment Tonight noted that one of the evening’s most heartfelt highlights came courtesy of Swift when she took the microphone for the wedding toast. A source told the outlet that the pop singer “made a pretty long speech at the reception.” She also mentioned “inside jokes she shares with Selena.”
Following Gomez’s engagement announcement on Instagram, Swift commented, “yes I will be the flower girl.” But her speech served as a far more meaningful reminder of her close friendship with Gomez. In 2009, Swift had tweeted, “Real love still happens sometimes. It’s not just something we make up when we’re nine. I have to believe that. You do too.” Now, 16 years later, the two best friends have fulfilled that prophecy.
Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, could not attend the wedding due to his NFL schedule, but the singer-songwriter kept a loyal presence at the wedding. Page Six reported she arrived under a canopy of black umbrellas to avoid the cameras. Inside, she joined the guests who partied long into the night. A source told PEOPLE, “Everyone was letting loose and celebrating them well into the night. The vibe was so much fun.”
The source continued, “They were glowing all night, and both Selena and Benny couldn’t stop smiling. There was so much love in the room.” As such, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s much-anticipated wedding was exactly how fans had imagined: lavish, intimate, and fun, with Gomez’s best friend Taylor Swift delivering an elaborate speech.
