Selena Gomez posted the sweetest post in honor of pal Taylor Swift’s 28th birthday on Wednesday, December 13. 

“I’m glad you were born. You write all the thoughts some aren’t able to articulate. (ME!) Thank you for giving a voice to this world that is authentic and inspiring. I wish some knew how big your heart actually is.. it’s fierce, bold and freaking wild with light. I’m glad you protect that. Love you @taylorswift,” Selena captured a cute video of them on Instagram. 

The pals have been friends since the early ‘00s. Selena recently revealed that she met Taylor while she was dating Nick Jonas and Taylor was dating brother Joe Jonas.

"We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical," Gomez recalled her first time meeting Swift during an interview with KIIS FM UK. "It was amazing, because she was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked," she added. "It was the best thing we got out of those relationships."
