Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Reveal Why They Felt Awkward at Taylor Swift’s Party: ‘No One Knew’

by

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco may be influential figures in the music industry, yet they’re not immune to party blunders – like showing up late. They recently shared a cringe-worthy incident that unfolded at Taylor Swift’s gathering.

On March 19th, during their interview on Spotify’s Countdown To prior to the launch of their shared album titled “I Said I Love You First,” the couple looked back on the early stages of their relationship, sharing anecdotes such as a rather awkward night they spent at a Taylor Swift party.

While cruising through Los Angeles in an iconic convertible, Blanco brought up their initial significant event as a duo. Gomez reminisced about an amusing night that stood out at Swift’s post-awards bash. She explained, “I’m not sure if this was the first time, but it certainly was quite hilarious. As a pair, we attended Taylor’s [Swift] party following some awards ceremony.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must confess that I was taken aback by an unexpected bout of embarrassment when I arrived earlier than anticipated at a recent gathering. To my surprise, it seems punctuality is not necessarily valued among the star-studded crowd, as the enchanting actress from “The Only Murders in the Building” eloquently put it: “I guess you could say it was adorable, but I was mortified. Apparently, it’s fashionable for the trendy set to saunter into parties a tad late.

Blanco playfully chimed in, bantering about how they’re almost always the first ones whenever they go out as a group – likening their promptness to his mother’s knack for showing up ahead of schedule at family events.

He joked, “At every gathering I attend with you, we’re always the earliest arrivals. It’s as if you arrive at parties just like my mom does.

Gomez and Swift have been close friends since 2008, a period when they were both romantically linked with Nick and Joe Jonas. Throughout the years, their friendship has endured, and when Gomez got engaged to Blanco in December 2024, Swift was among the first to congratulate them publicly.

Apart from their early appearance at the party being uncomfortable, another awkward element emerged that night. You see, Gomez and Blanco were trying to keep their relationship under wraps, which only intensified the existing tension. Blanco even remarked, “Actually, I thought you were going to mention our secret dating status, since nobody knew about it.

Although Taylor Swift wishes to serve as the “flower girl” in a potential future wedding between Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, the duo plans to initially commemorate their musical bond by releasing the track “I Said I Love You First” on March 21.
