Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Recall Being the ‘First People’ to Show Up to Taylor Swift’s Party: ‘I Was Mortified’

“We’re the first people at every single party when I go with you. You show up when like my mother shows up to a party,” Blanco teased his fiancée

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are a punctual couple!

On Wednesday, March 19, the pair appeared on Spotify’s Countdown To ahead of the release of their collaborative album I Said I Love You First on March 21, and during the episode the couple discussed their love story and the early days of their relationship.

“What was our first party that we ever went to?” Blanco, 37, asked his fiancée, 32, as they drove around Los Angeles in a retro convertible.

“I don’t know if this was the first but it was actually really funny. As a couple we went to Taylor [Swift]’s party after some awards show,” Gomez revealed, before sharing that their timely arrival at the bash left her feeling embarrassed.

“I don’t know it was kind of cute, but I was mortified. Apparently cool people don’t show up to parties on time,” the singer and actress explained.

“We’re the first people at every single party when I go with you. You show up when like my mother shows up to a party,” Blanco teased. “No, I thought you were gonna talk about the fact that no one knew we were dating and we were hiding “

Gomez and Swift, 35, have shared a close friendship for many years after first crossing paths when they were each dating a Jonas brother back in 2008 (Swift was seeing Joe Jonas while Gomez was linked to Nick Jonas).

And when Gomez and music producer Blanco engaged in December 2024, Swift was quick to celebrate the happy news on social media and tease her involvement in their nuptials.

“Yes I will be the flower girl,” the pop superstar wrote in the comments section of Gomez’s Instagram post announcing the news. The cute comment about her potential role in the couple’s wedding has garnered nearly two million likes on the social media platform.

Ahead of dropping I Said I Love You First later this week, Gomez and Blanco have released three singles from the record: “Scared of Loving You,” “Call Me When You Break Up” with Gracie Abrams and “Sunset Blvd,” which was accompanied by a seriously sultry music video. They also previewed their latest song “Bluest Flame” during a surprise appearance at the A24 x IMAX screening of Spring Breakers in New York City on March 19.
