From Jonas Brothers-era meetups to weddings and Swift's song \
Call it what you want — best friends, chosen family or simply "Taylena" — but Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have spent nearly two decades growing up together in the spotlight.
The friendship returned to headlines after Gomez revealed Swift's Evermore track "Dorothea" was written about her on fiancé Benny Blanco's podcast "Friends Keep Secrets."
"'Dorothea' is about me," the actress-singer said on the March 3 episode, reflecting on how the two navigated fame side-by-side as teenagers. "I feel like a lot of huge moments that were self-defining, from relationships to family to love to hate, all of it in between, we were figuring it out because I was 15 and she was 18."
Here's a look at the friendship between Swift and Gomez since their Nashville country music and Disney Channel days.
"Taylena" first met in 2008 while both were dating members of the Jonas Brothers. Swift briefly dated Joe Jonas while Gomez was seeing Nick Jonas.
