Selena Gomez has recently opened up about her younger sister Gracie Elliot Teefey's immense admiration for Taylor Swift. The star of "Only Murders in the Building" posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to Gracie on Instagram on June 12th, uncovering a heartwarming connection between the two.
In a charming clip, Selena is seen lounging on a bed across from Gracie, with a TV in the background. As Gracie presses a button on the remote, Taylor Swift's music video for "The Man" begins to play. "There, now we can watch the video too," says the sprightly 12-year-old.
Intriguingly, the former "Wizards of Waverly Place" actress added a playful caption, "When she loves auntie Taylor more than me," hinting at a bit of sisterly jealousy tempered with affection.
In another heartwarming social media post, Selena celebrated Gracie's birthday by sharing a carousel of photos showcasing their bond over the years. The singer-songwriter also penned a touching note, saying, "Happy birthday to my baby sister. As I pen these words with tears streaming down my face, my heart melts knowing that you understand I'm always by your side, no matter what. I love you, baby girl."
Selena and Taylor have always maintained a close relationship, which the singer-actress revealed in a sweet anecdote during an interview with iHeartRadio earlier this year. "When I played her 'Lose You to Love Me' just before it released [in 2019], she and her wonderful mom Andrea Swift started crying, and then I started crying too... It's such a sweet memory," shared the Disney star, painting a vivid picture of their bond.
