Why Selena Gomez feels like an 'outsider' in Taylor Swift's inner circle
Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, long-time friends, have drifted apart, with sources attributing the distance to Gomez’s lack of interest in mingling with Swift’s other friends. According to an insider, “Selena feels like she has matured out of Taylor’s circle of friends. She has no desire to be out with Blake, or Ice Spice, or Brittany or really any of those girls.”
Swift’s star-studded circle includes Blake Lively, Ice Spice, and Brittany Mahomes, but Gomez, often absent from these gatherings, was notably missed at Swift's recent Rhode Island party. Gomez hinted at her feelings of exclusion with a sad comment on a Super Bowl photo featuring Swift and her friends. Reportedly, Gomez and Lively have never been seen together at Swift’s events, and their separate social circles are a point of contention. Additionally, both Gomez and Swift are focused on their romantic relationships—Gomez with musician Benny Blanco and Swift with Travis Kelce. Despite their separate paths, both are happy in each other’s happiness.
