She Phones Us Daily

Only Murders In The Building has rapidly become one of the most popular shows on television. Fans are now speculating whether it could reach even greater heights if Selena Gomez, one of the show’s stars, brought her friend Taylor Swift into the fold.

In a recent interview with E! News, Gomez, along with Martin Short and Steve Martin, was asked about the possibility of a Swift cameo. Gomez responded with a laugh, “You’re hilarious. She’s a little busy, you guys.” Steve Martin then chimed in with a joke, “Listen, she calls us every day. Here: she’s calling right now. Ah, I’ll take it later.” Short added to the humor, saying, “No, I was talking to Taylor around 3:00 a.m.”

Steve Martin continued, “Here’s how I unite Taylor Swift and Selena. Taylor Swift handles everything perfectly and so does Selena. In the situations I’ve seen—politically, trolls, everything—she just seems to have a wisdom about how to do something quietly and effortlessly. And I know that you have to think about these things.”

This seemed to resonate with Gomez, who replied, “I wish I was recording that to send to her.”

In 2022, Gomez spoke highly of Swift, stating, “I never fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities. My only friend in the industry really is Taylor, so I remember feeling like I didn’t belong. I felt the presence of everyone around me living full lives. I had this position, and I was really happy, but… was I? Do these materialistic things make me happy?”

Around the same time, Gomez elaborated, “The most influential artist for me is kind of Taylor. Not because she’s my friend, but she has been an artist that can transition into so many different genres and she is able to do it seamlessly and I admire that so much. And that’s so rare. I love her process and I just admire all the work that she’s done. She has definitely inspired me.”
