“Taylor‘s just been such an incredible inspiration and she’s just like one of my biggest supporters and I don’t think people know that as much as they think that she is,” Selena shared about BFF Taylor Swift with Manchester’s Key 103.

She added, “She has always wanted to see me find what makes me different and never forced her opinion too much. She would just tell me what she believed and what she thinks I should do and I’ve known her for eight years, so it’s something that we’ve always kind of been in tune with.”

FYI: Selena is wearing a TopShop top, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci leather skirt, and Kurt Geiger shoes.
