Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are heading down the aisle, and Taylor Swift is already angling for a starring role in the wedding. No, not as the officiant or even the maid of honor—Taylor has her heart set on tossing flower petals with all the grace of a Grammy-winning superstar.
Selena, 32, dropped the engagement bombshell on Instagram this past Wednesday night (December 11), showing off her sparkler and presumably making every ex in her phone contacts break into a cold sweat. While fans freaked out in the comments (as they should), one response stood out: none other than Swiftie Queen herself sliding into the chat with, “Yes I will be the flower girl,” which promptly broke the internet. Seriously, millions of likes—because obviously.
Now, you might be wondering: Did Taylor and Selena pre-plan this flower-power move? Or is Taylor just manifesting her inner six-year-old dreams of flouncing down the aisle in a floral frenzy? Either way, Benny Blanco, 36, seems pretty chill about the whole thing, dropping his own comment on Selena’s post: “Hey wait… that’s my wife.” Adorable, Benny. But let’s be real, the spotlight is now squarely on Taylor’s imaginary basket of rose petals.
As if the internet needed more fuel for its Selena-Taylor-bestie-fire, this moment pretty much confirms their BFF status is eternal. Meanwhile, other celebs chimed in with congratulatory messages, but let’s face it: unless you’re offering to DJ the reception or bake a life-sized cake of Selena and Benny, you’re not beating Taylor’s bold wedding hustle.
So, will Taylor be the flower girl? Will Benny get his turn to shine, or is he just the guy standing awkwardly next to Taylor and Selena’s friendship in every wedding photo? Only time—and the inevitable flood of TikToks from the wedding—will tell. But one thing’s certain: this Swiftie moment deserves its own aisle.
