Taylor Swift’s afterparties are the stuff of Hollywood legend—exclusive, extravagant, and packed with A-list guests. But for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, one such event turned into an unexpectedly awkward experience when they arrived far too early.
During a candid conversation on Spotify’s Countdown To podcast, the couple shared their cringeworthy realization that they were among the first to show up at one of Swift’s award show afterparties.
Selena & Benny’s ‘Mortifying’ Early Arrival
Gomez and Blanco, who made their relationship public in late 2023, were expecting a lively party atmosphere when they walked into Swift’s event. Instead, they found themselves in an eerily empty venue—an experience that left Gomez “mortified.”
“As a couple, we went to Taylor’s party after some awards show,” Gomez recounted. “I thought it was kind of cute, but I was also mortified.”
Blanco, never one to miss an opportunity to poke fun, chimed in, revealing that arriving too early is a common theme with Gomez.
“We’re the first people at every single party when I go with you,” he teased. “You, like, show up when my mother shows up to a party.”
Keeping Their Relationship Secret Added to the Awkwardness
To make matters even more uncomfortable, Gomez and Blanco were still keeping their romance under wraps at the time.
Blanco recalled how they had to keep things strictly platonic in front of Swift and the other guests, saying, “We didn’t even, like, touch each other or, like, really look at each other.”
Given Swift’s famously tight-knit circle and the constant media attention on her star-studded gatherings, Gomez and Blanco were treading carefully—not wanting to draw any unnecessary speculation about their budding romance.
Swift, Gomez & A Friendship That Stands the Test of Time
Despite the awkward moment, there’s no doubt that Gomez and Swift’s friendship remains as strong as ever. The two have been close since 2008, having first met while dating Jonas Brothers—Gomez with Nick and Swift with Joe. Though those relationships didn’t last, their bond did, making them one of Hollywood’s most cherished bestie duos.
Swift has been one of Gomez’s biggest supporters over the years, and the Calm Down singer has frequently gushed about her admiration for the pop superstar. With Blanco now in the picture, it seems like their inner circle is growing—even if he and Gomez need to work on their party timing!
Final Thoughts: A Hilariously Relatable Moment
Let’s be honest—we’ve all shown up way too early to a party at some point. But when you’re Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, even the most awkward social blunders become a viral-worthy story.
