Selena Gomez is set to say “I do” with fiancé Benny Blanco, but insiders tell the National Enquirer the “Calm Down” songbird fears her nuptials will be totally upstaged by her best friend Taylor Swift.
The 35-year-old music superstar announced her engagement to NFL stud Travis Kelce, just as Selena, 33, gets ready to waltz down the aisle with record producer Benny, 37.

But while the former Disney star is thrilled she and Taylor have found their happily-ever-after, her pal’s engagement also hit a raw nerve as Selena fears she won’t be the center of attention at her own wedding.
“Selena is desperate for her wedding to be this huge event, but now nobody’s really talking about it because they’re so fixated on Taylor and Travis’ engagement,” says an insider.

“She doesn’t like feeling second best. She’s happy for Taylor but it kind of sucks that she’s being relegated to B-list status — at least, that’s what it feels like.”
Music’s golden girl Swift announced her news a few days after Gomez was seen celebrating at her own lavish bachelorette bash at a resort in Cabo.

Her pal, the “Shake It Off” billionaire, is expected to be front and center at Selena’s wedding bash later this month, and Gomez will likely return the favor when Swift and Kelce, 35, eventually tie the knot.
The dark-haired beauty and Blanco announced their engagement in late 2024 after a year of dating.

Earlier this summer they were hit with unwanted stress after details of their wedding plans leaked, forcing them to up security for the glitzy event that’s reportedly set to take place in Santa Barbara in front of a star-studded list of guests.
“The whole process has been very stressful for Selena from the get-go,” says the insider. “She was very upset that the details leaked out months in advance and it worries her that a lot of big-name invitees may not make it because of their schedules.
“And as much as Selena respects and loves Taylor, she does feel envious because everything she touches seems so seamless.”
