Taylor Swift Alerts – How Taylor Swift went out of her way to bond with one of Selena Gomez’s wedding guests

Scrubbing In co-host Tanya Rad Yadegar had a close encounter with the increasingly camera-shy Taylor Swift last Saturday.

The 38-year-old Ryan Seacrest protégée met the betrothed 35-year-old during Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s lavish wedding in Santa Barbara, CA.

Tanya’s BFF Paulina Char introduced her to Taylor by relaying the fact that she had walked down the aisle and had her first dance to her 2020 song Invisible String, which was performed by Sofia Carson during her March 14 nuptials to attorney Roby Yadegar.

‘She was so kind. She loved it,’ Yadegar gushed on her podcast Monday.

‘She asked me what song, and she was like, “That means so much!” I cannot explain to you how magical, regal, genuine, present, locked in, invested and normal [she was].’

The Orange County native – who was one of 170 guests invited – added: ‘I audibly gasped.’

Swift delivered a tear-jerking speech on Saturday to her beloved ‘sister’ Selena, who’s a veteran member of her celeb gal pal squad, at a 17-acre palm-filled paradise called Sea Crest Nursery.

The billionaire pop stars – nicknamed ‘Taylena’ – originally met in 2008 when they were each dating members of the boyband, Jonas Brothers.

During the sweet speech, it is understood that Taylor ‘talked about how she and Gomez have both been through so much together both professionally and personally,’ and ‘said that whenever one of them had their hearts broken from failed relationship over the years, they were always there for each other.’

Swift, who has famously catalogued her ‘long list of ex-lovers’ in her pop music, told the gathered guests that it was only ‘when Selena finally came to the realization that she was just fine with who she was and concentrated on being just her that she fell in love with Benny.’

The 14-time Grammy winner added that Blanco and Gomez were a ‘perfect pair’ – surely a well deserved title after Gomez’s years of romantic turmoil with on-and-off ex Justin Bieber – and that ‘in all the years she has known Selena, she has never seen her so happy.’

A second source told the Daily Mail that Taylor talked about ‘always having Selena’s back and how they are sisters – and that while Selena may see Taylor as the big sister, Taylor sees Selena as teaching her so much.’

Swift, of course, is gearing up for her own wedding, having recently announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

As such, the Pennsylvania-born belter ‘joked in the speech that Selena beat her to altar but at least they both have found the loves of their lives.’

Lavishing praise on Blanco as ‘the most perfect person’ for Gomez, Taylor added: ‘It isn’t luck that they found each other, it’s love.’

The 33-year-old ‘Texican’ beauty also invited her Wizards of Waverly Place castmates Jennifer Stone and David DeLuise, her Only Murders in the Building castmates Steve Martin and Martin Short, as well as her Emilia Pérez castmates Zoe Saldaña and Édgar Ramírez.

Swift’s 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl drops this Friday.
