Selena Gomez Marries Benny Blanco; Taylor Swift Praises Bride

Selena Gomez and music producer Benny Blanco were married on Sept. 27, 2025, in a private ceremony in Santa Barbara; Gomez, who became engaged last December, later posted unseen behind-the-scenes photos and a video from the wedding. The footage shows longtime friend Taylor Swift hyping Gomez’s bridal look as she tried on a veil, and Swift later told SiriusXM that Gomez was “not just the most beautiful bride... the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.” Gomez captioned the Instagram carousel referencing her SHOWGIRL era and included a screenshot of Swift’s new song “The Fate of Ophelia.” The intimate celebration reportedly included A-list guests such as Ed Sheeran, Paul Rudd, Steve Martin and Martin Short, and Swift is said to have given a speech. Coverage also highlighted Swift’s wedding-weekend outfits, including a gold Oscar de la Renta sequin gown and a black Maticevski ballgown.
