Although she has recently acquired new celebrity gal pals like Sophie Turner and Brittany Mahomes, Taylor Swift has not forgotten her old friends.
The 33-year-old donated two of her concert tickets for a charity auction thrown Wednesday night by Selena Gomez, whom she has been close to for 15 years.
Selena, 31, who reportedly entered treatment after suffering a breakdown in 2018, was raising funds in aid of the mentally ill via her Rare Impact Fund.
Taylor extended a helping hand to the endeavor by offering up tickets to her juggernaut Eras Tour, which has proven to be a financial powerhouse nudging the pop superstar closer and closer to billionaire status.
Fans have been ravenously snaffling up tickets to the shows, and the trend held at Selena’s auction, where Taylor’s tickets went for $15,000, according to TMZ.
Held in Hollywood, the gala was compered by Martin Short, who stars with Selena and Steve Martin on the acclaimed Hulu sitcom Only Murders In The Building.
Martin started the bidding at $5,000, but the demand for seats at Taylor’s shows has grown so astronomical that the tickets ultimately went for three times that amount.
H.E.R. delivered a musical performance at Wednesday’s beano, which featured a string of celeb guests including Sofia Carson, Colton Underwood and Benny Blanco.
Selena’s friend and kidney donor Francia Raisa was also on hand, indicating their recent feud has been brought to a close.
Taylor and Selena have been friends since 2008, when they were both teen stars dating two different Jonas Brothers.
In the intervening years Selena had a longtime on-off romance with Justin Bieber, who went on to marry Alec Baldwin’s niece Hailey in 2018.
The month after Justin married Hailey, Selena reportedly suffered a breakdown connected to her lupus and entered treatment for her mental health.
Selena has been open about the fact that she has been diagnosed with multiple mental conditions, namely bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression.
At the moment, with the Eras Tour on a brief hiatus, Taylor has been indulging in a sizzling fling with the NFL heartthrob Travis Kelce.
A couple of weeks ago, at a postgame party for one of Travis’ NFL games with the Kansas City Chiefs, Taylor became pals with Brittany Mahomes, who is married to her latest squeeze’s teammate Patrick Mahomes.
She has simultaneously been cultivating a blossoming friendship with Sophie Turner amid the latter’s divorce from their mutual ex Joe Jonas.
Taylor, who briefly dated Joe in the summer of 2008, has written multiple songs that are rumored to be about him, including the scathing Better Than Revenge.
Joe and Sophie married in 2019 and separated last month, since when they have been waging a bitter custody battle that has unfolded in the headlines.
Their principle bone of contention appears to be where their two young daughters will live, with Joe arguing for the US and Sophie pulling for her native UK.
