Taylor Swift joked best friend Selena Gomez 'beat her to the altar during singer's wedding speech

Taylor Swift delivered a heartfelt wedding speech for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, joking her best friend "beat her to the altar" and calling their union "love."

"It isn't luck that they found each other; it's love. - Taylor Swift"

Los Angeles, October 1

Pop icon Taylor Swift delivered a funny yet emotional speech at her best friend and fellow singer, Selena Gomez's wedding to music producer Benny Blanco.

Selena and Blanco got married at the Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, California, in the presence of her close friends and family members, where Swift raised a toast to the couple, as per Page Six.

During the speech, the 'Love Story' singer, who recently got engaged to NFL star Travis Kelce, joked that Selena managed to "beat her to the altar." She further added how they have both found the loves of their lives.

At some other points, Swift left the guests emotional with her words, even some "crying," as per the outlet.

Giving out a shoutout to Selena Gomez as a "sister", Swift mentioned how she has been learning a lot from her.

"She spoke about how she and Selena have both been through so much together, both professionally and personally. She said that whenever one of them had their hearts broken from failed relationships over the years, they were always there for each other," a source said, as quoted by the outlet.

Taylor Swift added that Selena only came to the realisation that she was just fine and focused on being herself after falling in love with Benny Blanco.

Calling the music producer "the most perfect person" for her best friend, she added, "It isn't luck that they found each other; it's love." She also opened up about seeing Selena the happiest on her wedding.

Taylor Swift was among the A-list guests at the wedding. She arrived in California in advance; however, she remained completely undercover with heavy security. Even though the singer has arrived for the weekend celebrations, she reportedly stayed at a private rental home instead of a hotel due to security reasons.

Interesting to see how even global celebrities value friendship so much. In our culture, we always say "dosti sabse badi cheez hai" - friendship is the biggest thing. Good to see they found their life partners too!

The security arrangements sound so extreme though. Is this normal for celebrity weddings in the US? In India, we see tight security for big weddings too, but usually the guests don't need to stay in private rentals separately.

Love how Taylor mentioned that Selena realized she was "just fine" before finding love. That's such an important message for young women everywhere - you don't need a partner to complete you. First be happy with yourself!

The wedding venue at Sea Crest Nursery sounds beautiful! Reminds me of some destination weddings in Goa. Nice to see celebrities having intimate ceremonies rather than overly extravagant ones. Wishing the couple a happy married life! 🎉

While the friendship story is heartwarming, I wish media would focus less on celebrity personal lives and more on their actual work. But I guess good news is always welcome in these stressful times! 😊
