Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez stayed close to one another throughout Swift’s recent trial.
Although the two women haven’t been seen together for the past several months, a new report claimed that the ladies have remained in close contact as Swift battled back against DJ David Mueller, who accused her of lying about an alleged assault and causing him to lose his job.
“She’s texted with Taylor a few times during her trial in New York,” a source tells Hollywood Life on August 11. “Selena wanted Taylor to know that she has her back now and always, They’ve been through a lot together and Selena wanted to make it clear to her long time bestie that now is no different.”
Swift and Gomez have been extremely close together in recent years and judging by the latest reports, their friendship hasn’t wavered, despite the current distance between them.
