Gomez, 33, commented “lol” under an Instagram post<\/a> showing Swift, 36, celebrating the New York Knicks’ victory<\/a> on Wednesday, June 10, at Madison Square Garden with actress Mariska Hargitay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Woke up and was sent so many texts,” the Only Murders in the Building<\/em><\/a> star wrote in an Instagram Story<\/a> early Friday, June 12. “I would never insult my friends, nor was it an insult. The comment was a reaction to the first slide on the page.”<\/p>\n

The actress and singer also clarified another Instagram Story she shared Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

“Mad respect for the game!! Congrats to the peeps that represent. What a comeback,” she said<\/a> of the Knicks’ narrow 107-106 victory of her favorite team, the San Antonio Spurs, Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

She added, “So funny how some are all the sudden fans though lol.”<\/p>\n

On Friday, Gomez explained that her comments were simply a joke between friends after she bet on the Spurs beating the Knicks.<\/p>\n

“Second, I bet my friends on the game. The friends in the text chain I posted,” she wrote, referring to a screenshot she shared via Instagram Stories on Wednesday. “I lost but was poking fun at my opponents, my friends.”<\/p>\n

Gomez continued, “Believe it or not, I do have other friends in my life. But quickly forget that most assume otherwise.”<\/p>\n

“Also.. it’s a basketball game,” the actress added.<\/p>\n

Gomez and Swift first crossed paths in the late 2000s when they were dating Nick<\/strong> and Joe Jonas<\/strong>, respectively. While the relationships didn’t last, their friendship endured.<\/p>\n

“Taylor and I dated the Jonas Brothers,” Gomez said on the “Therapuss With Jake Shane” podcast<\/a> in August 2025. “I dated Nick and she dated Joe.”<\/p>\n

“It’s cute. We were young. We all know and love each other now, and it’s so cute,” she continued. “We didn’t know what we were doing [at the time]. But, yeah, she and I like to say the best thing we got out of those relationships was each other.”<\/p>\n

Gomez went on, “It was really sweet. I was about 15. She was about 18, and that’s when it was the crazy curly [haired] Taylor, and she had all these bracelets that went all the way up [her arm],” she said. “I believe \u2018Love Story’ was the first song she had ever played me and it wasn’t released yet. It was in a hotel room, I remember it vividly, and it was just like \u2026 it was one of those songs that I instantly heard and thought, \u2018This is one of the most beautiful songs ever.'”<\/p>\n

Swift was in attendance at Gomez’s wedding to Benny Blanco<\/strong><\/a> last year, while Gomez is expected to attend Swift’s nuptials to <\/a>Travis Kelce<\/a>,<\/strong> which is rumored to take place on Saturday, June 13.<\/p>\n
