She may be number one among Taylor Swift's world-famous squad, but that doesn't mean Selena Gomez is tied down to T. Swift and her never-ending 1989 Tour besties (opens in new tab) forever. And if the 23-year-old's most recent tweet is any indication, it does indeed appear that she is more than capable of reigning over her own regime. (Sorry, Tay.)
Making it easy on the "Same Old Love" songstress? She already has two very famous friends fully prepared to take their places in the Sel Squad. And they happen to be none other than her pop peers, Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande. Couldn't get any better, right? We know.
You're probably wondering how this juggernaut of #friendshipgoals came to be. Well, it all started out on the Internet (as most good things do these days), then reached new levels of girl power thanks to some kind words from Ariana, and was finally commenced with a special blessing from Selena. But before you start thinking up music video concepts for these three à la "Bad Blood," we'd like to first dissect the way in which it really all began.
Let's go back to the beginning when Demi and Selena reestablished their once-fractured relationship (opens in new tab) earlier this summer...
A sweet birthday message:
@ddlovato IM so grateful you were born. #nomatterwhat #forever #haveTHEbestbday 💜August 21, 2015
And an even sweeter/slightly silly selfie:
Okay, so after the former Disney stars had gotten themselves back on track, that meant go time for Ariana to swoop in. Because why not?
A compliment for Demi's new album, Confident:
had to hit up @ddlovato last night and text her a bunch of “ yaaaas"es & "werrrrrk"s because of these vocals on #confident! you diiiid that!October 17, 2015
Resulting in much excitement for Ariana's upcoming release for Focus:
had to hit up @ddlovato last night and text her a bunch of “ yaaaas"es & "werrrrrk"s because of these vocals on #confident! you diiiid that!October 17, 2015
And with so many good vibes circulating around the Twittersphere, Ari couldn't help but also give praise to friend-of-a-friend Selena for her latest LP, Revival:
and while we're on the topic of new music I have to mention #REVIVAL is so effing good @selenagomez!! I'm in love. ♡♡October 17, 2015
i love nothing more than seeing young women doing what they love & kicking ass at it.October 17, 2015
Which then prompted all-caps approbation from the hair extension-loving (opens in new tab) star, proving she is more than ready to take this love fest offline and make it a thing IRL:
AMEN 💜💙❤️ https://t.co/vZ05btgS8jOctober 17, 2015
Now how about some sort of song collab or maybe even a joint tour? Just something to think about, ladies.
