After 100 days of silence on Instagram, Taylor Swift made a surprise return to the platform — and she did it for a heartwarming reason. The pop superstar showed her love for Selena Gomez’s new album I Said I Love You First, calling it a project she deeply connects with.
Swift’s Loud Return with a Sweet Message
On Saturday, Swift shared a message through her Instagram Stories, celebrating her longtime friend Selena Gomez’s latest music. Tagging both Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco, Swift wrote:
“@selenagomez & @itsbennyblanco I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD”
She also added a link to the album, encouraging her millions of followers to listen.
This post marks Swift’s first Instagram activity in 100 days — a break many fans had noticed. Her return just to support Gomez speaks volumes about their friendship and how much she appreciates the music.
Selena Gomez’s Big Musical Comeback
Selena Gomez’s new album I Said I Love You First features 14 songs and is her first major music release since her 2020 album Rare. Fans have waited years for this moment, and many were overjoyed to see Swift backing the project publicly.
The album is a personal collaboration between Gomez and Benny Blanco, who is also her fiancé. Their close connection helped shape the emotional and thoughtful lyrics.
The Story Behind the Album
Before the album dropped, Spotify released a 33-minute sit-down conversation between Gomez and Blanco. In the interview, the couple shared details about their creative process.
Gomez explained that the album wasn’t created in a typical way. “We’d get up in the morning and have a conversation. But our conversation was never led going, ‘What are we going to write in the album?’” she said.
Blanco added that he often turned Gomez’s casual words into lyrics. “Sometimes, you’d be saying something really important, and I didn’t know if you even realized, but I would always open my phone and be like, ‘That’s such a good line for a song,’” he shared.
Fans’ Mixed Reactions Online
While Swift’s support was warmly welcomed, some fans expressed disappointment that other celebrities hadn’t shown the same level of public support for Gomez. One popular fan post on X (formerly Twitter) said:
“No celebrity supporting Selena Gomez’s new album except Becky G. Not Even Taylor Swift.”
That post has since been deleted, especially after Swift’s Instagram story made headlines.
In addition to frustrations with celebrities, many fans are also criticizing Gomez’s record label, Interscope Records. They feel the label hasn’t done enough to promote the album.
One fan wrote on X:
“[Interscope Records] must really love losing money by not promoting one of their biggest artists.”
A Moment of Genuine Support
In an industry where public endorsements matter, Swift’s shout-out was a refreshing reminder of authentic friendship. Her simple yet passionate message helped draw attention to Gomez’s new work and reminded fans that support from fellow artists can make a difference.
As fans continue to stream I Said I Love You First, Swift’s support has helped bring the spotlight to a heartfelt album born from love, real conversations, and a lot of creativity.
