Taylor Swift Alerts – Selena Gomez reveals the shrewd advice Taylor Swift gave her

Selena Gomez revealed one piece of shrewd advice her famous friend Taylor Swift gave her during their 17-year friendship, which always stuck with her.

‘She said, “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room,”‘ the 32-year-old newlywed said at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, DC on Wednesday.

‘And that’s why I surround myself with really incredible people that there’s no dumb questions. You just you have to learn and not be afraid of all the things that you might lose out on.’

Selena went on to call the 35-year-old pop star ‘one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met.’

‘She is very strong in her lane and she great gives great advice all the time,’ Gomez gushed.

The 32-year-old newlywed said at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, DC on Wednesday: ‘She said, “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room”‘

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

And Taylor was by Selena’s side as she wed Grammy-nominated music producer Benny Blanco at a reported $4M ceremony held at the Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, CA on September 27.

Gomez – who boasts 677.9M social media followers – captioned her October 6th Instagram post: ‘In honor of [your new album Life of a] Showgirl… blessed to have you by my side almost 20 years later gator! I love you!’

Insiders told Daily Mail that Swift spoke at the reception about ‘always having Selena’s back and how they are sisters’ during her tear-jerking wedding toast.

The 14-time Grammy winner told the 170 guests in attendance that ‘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.’

Taylor added that the two-time Grammy nominee and her 37-year-old groom were the ‘perfect pair’ and that ‘in all the years she has known Selena, she has never seen her so happy.’

Swift ‘joked in the speech that Selena beat her to altar but at least they both have found the loves of their lives’ ahead of her upcoming wedding to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Selena executive produced and reprised her role as artist Mabel Mora in the fifth season of Steve Martin and John Hoffman’s comedy series Only Murders in the Building, which airs Tuesdays on Hulu.

Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve are said to earn well over $600K/episode to produce and star in the critically-acclaimed who-done-it.

Selena continued: ‘And that’s why I surround myself with really incredible people that there’s no dumb questions. You just you have to learn and not be afraid of all the things that you might lose out on’

The Rare Beauty founder has shed substantial weight ahead of taking on the role of 11-time Grammy winner Linda Ronstadt in David O. Russell’s untitled biopic produced by her former manager John Boylan.

‘That’s still happening, though I’m not sure when,’ Selena updated THR last November.

‘With Linda, once I met her and read two books, one of them over and over, I just found her to be so [compelling]. She had such an interesting perspective on music and life, and I really admired that.

‘She never really needed to be as successful, and she was willing to try different things. But there’s a reason it’s taking time. We want to make sure it’s going to be good.’
