Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran were among the close friends who delivered heartfelt speeches at Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s wedding reception in California on September 27. An insider revealed that the musicians, who are long-time friends and collaborators, shared touching words to celebrate the couple.
Family members also toasted the newlyweds, including Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, and stepfather, Brian Teefey, along with Blanco’s parents, Sandra and Andrew Levin. The source described the atmosphere as overwhelmingly joyful, noting that guests celebrated well into the night. “They were glowing all night, and both Selena and Benny couldn’t stop smiling,” the insider added. “There was so much love in the room.”
Gomez confirmed the nuptials on Instagram, sharing a series of photos and videos with the simple caption, “🤍 9.27.25 🤍.” Blanco posted his own tribute, writing, “I married a real life disney princess.”
The star-studded guest list included Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building costars Steve Martin and Martin Short, who had also given a joint speech at the rehearsal dinner. Other notable attendees were Paul Rudd, Paris Hilton, SZA, Camila Cabello, Cara Delevingne, Eric Andre, and Finneas, as well as her Emilia Perez costars Edgar Ramirez and Zoe Saldaña.
Swift’s supportive speech continues a pattern of public encouragement for her friend’s relationship. When Gomez and Blanco announced their engagement in December 2024, Swift commented on the post, “Yes I will be the flower girl.” Gomez reciprocated the love following Swift’s engagement to Travis Kelce, posting on her Instagram Stories, “When bestie gets engaged 🥰.”
The deep bond between the two stars dates back to 2008, when they were dating Joe and Nick Jonas, respectively. In a recent podcast interview, Gomez explained, “The best thing we got out of those relationships was each other.” She recalled how they bonded over their breakups and have remained best friends through all the ups and downs of the past 16 years.
