Selena Gomez has style when it comes to sharing which songs in Taylor Swift’s discography she loves the most.
During a SiriusXM Guest DJ session on SiriusXM Hits 1 on Friday, January 12, Gomez, 31, expressed her admiration for Taylor Swift's song "Wildest Dreams." She described it as one of Swift's best songs and praised its overall quality, including the lyrics and melodies. Gomez also revealed that the song is one of her personal favorites that she enjoys listening to in any mood.
Gomez may have had difficulty selecting her top album from Swift's discography, as each record showcases Swift's creativity and unique style. During a September 2023 interview with Most Requested Live, Gomez expressed her admiration for all of Swift's eras, finding the creation of unique moments for each album to be particularly special. As a result, she found it impossible to choose a favorite.
Gomez and Swift first crossed paths in 2008 during a double date with their then-boyfriends, Nick and Joe Jonas. Since then, they have consistently supported each other and formed a lasting bond that Swift always knew was inevitable. "There has always been this quality of sisterhood with Selena," Swift stated in a 2022 interview with WSJ. Magazine, "and I don't say that in a basic way. I knew from when I met her I would always have her back. In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don't know if I can forgive someone who hurts her."

Gomez supported Swift at her Eras Tour stop in Los Angeles last year, bringing her little sister Gracie to a concert in March 2023. Gomez dressed in attire inspired by Swift’s Folklore album, while Gracie wore an outfit inspired by Speak Now and received the "Anti-Hero" artist’s hat during Swift's "22" performance. After the show, Gomez shared her appreciation on Instagram, saying, "Thank you bestie for allowing me and my sissy to enter your magical, euphoric, and special world. Proud to know you! Love you forever and always."
Months later, Swift couldn't help but sing Gomez's praises when the Only Murders in the Building star dropped her first new song in two years, "Single Soon."
"When your bestie is the absolute best," Swift wrote on her Instagram Story, showing her love for the track. "Will be dancing to this forever, I think."

During Friday's DJ set, Gomez made sure to feature more than just Swift as she played tracks by other artist including Doja Cat, Frank Sinatra, and Ariana Grande's latest song "Yes, And?"
"Ariana Grande. I can't have fun without listening to some Ariana," Gomez revealed. "I feel so empowered by her music. She's incredible and I always have a blast listening to her. I'm that girl constantly playing Ariana's music and I think people have noticed, but I love it. She's just amazing."
