Sure enough, shortly after the post went up, it was mysteriously deleted and replaced with a post praising Swift.

Gomez shared a selfie of her and Swift, holding Swift’s new cat Benjamin Button.

“Thank you for forever being by my side. You have taught me so much, walked through all of this with me, STAYED and you remind to be a better human being. I’m on your side for life.” pic.twitter.com/6bVupONx5A

She wrote on the post, “My ride or die. I would die for this one. Thank you for forever being by my side.\"

\"You have taught me so much, walked through all of this with me, STAYED and you remind me to be a better, human being. I’m on your side for life.”

Their friendship is solid, folks.
