Taylor Swift just melted our hearts with her message to BFF Selena Gomez 😍
Taylor loves Selena's new single 'Lose You To Love Me'
They've been BFFs for years, but we still get so much warmth in our hearts when we see Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez gushing about each other, and in particular praising each other's amazing achievements.
Now, after Selena released her brand new single 'Lose You To Love Me', which is reportedly all about her split from ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, Tay-Tay has dished out her love for the track, admitting how much she adores the former Disney star.
Sharing the artwork for Selena's track to her Instagram Story, 'Lover' singer Taylor wrote, 'This song is a perfect expression of healing & my absolute favorite song she’s put out yet. A triumph. I love you @selenagomez.' sic
The cute message comes just days after Selena released the stunning music video for her new single, which was shot entirely using an iPhone 11.
Directed by Sophie Muller, the black and white video shows the 27-year-old star sitting alone as she sings the powerful lyrics into the camera. As the video goes on, Selena becomes increasingly more emotional, as she goes between sad, angry and content towards the end of the video.
Since it's release earlier this week, Selena's emotional video has had over 43 million views (at the time of publication), with the number rising by the hour.

Speaking to Radio Disney about the meaning behind the song, Selena said, "I wrote this song over a year ago and it's obviously a very emotional song for me but it's interesting to see how far I've come from that point to now.
"And me sharing my story is exactly what I've always done, because I can't be inauthentic, I can't pretend that I'm not going through something when it's obvious that I had been.
"It's one of those songs where I feel it's out, it's released, and I hope that girls and guys all over the world can feel supported. Because that's a feeling everyone has felt."
