Selena Gomez wishes ‘goddess’ Taylor Swift a happy 34th birthday with sweet snap that shows singer giving her a kiss on the cheek: ‘I love you’
Selena Gomez wished her bestie Taylor Swift a happy birthday with a sweet Instagram post on Wednesday.
The Only Murders in the Building star, 31, shared an adorable photo from her story in which Taylor – who turned 34 on Wednesday – gave her a kiss on the cheek.
“Happy birthday to the goddess @TaylorSwift,” Selena wrote in a text overlay on the photo, adding, “I love you.”
Selena – who also stepped out with Taylor the night before – was pictured looking at the camera in the photo, with a beaming smile on her face. She wore a chic snakeskin coat, a matching miniskirt and a black top.
Meanwhile, the Bad Blood hitmaker held the iPhone camera with both hands as she planted a kiss on her boyfriend with her eyes closed.

Swift — who previously called Selena her “only friend in the industry” — looked cozy in a green sweater and houndstooth miniskirt.
Selena and Taylor have been friends for more than a decade and a half when they became close during a relationship with two members of the Jonas Brothers in 2008.
The girls already had a birthday party on Tuesday evening.
They were spotted stepping out with actor Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh Sperry.
Swift appeared to have skipped Time Magazine's Person of the Year gala — despite scoring the cover of the magazine's Person of the Year issue — to celebrate her birthday with her friends a day early.
She effortlessly combined casual and chic styles with a statement leather trench coat as they visited chic members-only club Zero Bond.
Taylor had arrived in the Big Apple – where she has a penthouse – earlier in the day after leaving Kansas City, Missouri.
She previously spent time with her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce, 34, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Taylor's apparent decision to skip the Time gala was shocking, as she was believed to have flown back to New York City on Tuesday for the express purpose of attending the ceremony.

Selena and Taylor have been friends for more than a decade and a half when they bonded during a relationship with two members of the Jonas Brothers in 2008.
But the hitmaker has long shown loyalty to her friends and members of her 'squad', so she appeared to have chosen an intimate evening with Gomez and their friends over the high-profile event.
In October, it was reported that Gomez has expressed concerns about her BFF's relationship with Kelce. The multihyphenate is said to be worried that Taylor is “moving too fast” with NFL star Travis.
A source for Page six said the former Disney star believes Taylor's behavior in this new relationship is a bit strange considering her past.
The insider said, “Selena thinks Taylor going to games and strolling around New York immediately after meeting Travis is something that's very different from her.”
“Historically, Taylor has always been very private about everything, and now that she's in this relationship, she's so open about it that it's just really strange for Selena.”
Taylor split from actor Joe Alwyn earlier this year as they both kept their relationship very private despite having been together for several years.
The Page Six insider claims that Selena was said to be taken aback when she saw Taylor hanging out with Travis' parents in the luxury box during his games just weeks after meeting her.
The source also claims that Selena also found it a little strange that Taylor was holding hands with Travis in public.
The insider also reveals that Selena was invited to Travis' games, as were some other members of her team, but she declined because she didn't want to be part of the “media frenzy.”
The source also wanted to make it clear that the two longtime friends have “no fight” over opinions.

Meanwhile, Gomez confirmed on Thursday that she has been dating music producer Benny Blanco, 35, for six months, calling him “my absolute everything” in an Instagram post
The source told the publication, “Selena just doesn't want to be part of the media frenzy because it's really chaotic.
“It wasn't malicious, and it's not that she doesn't like them together.” She's just concerned about how it's being navigated.”
Meanwhile, days ago, Selena furiously defended her new man Benny Blanco as fans were quick to remind her that he had 'shaded' her in the past.
Last Thursday, Gomez confirmed she has been dating the music producer, 35, for six months, calling him “my absolute everything” in an Instagram post.
In the comments section, things quickly got heated between her and her fans, as they accused Benny of “not treating her right” and disrespecting her in the past.
