Selena Gomez revealed that her BFF Taylor Swift has yet another talent up her sleeve: painting.
The actress shared that Swift gifted her a handmade, sentimental painting for her 30th birthday.
“She did it on an actual cloth, and she painted a beautiful lake,” Gomez described during her Tuesday appearance on the “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast.

“It was at night, and the moon was there and in the stars… she painted our exact star signs. So for hers [Sagittarius] and mine [Cancer], and she said, ‘Here’s to the next 30 years,’ hand sewn, ‘From Taylor to Selena,’ and it was all sewn by hand, so she had it painted or she painted it.”
“It’s just, instead of writing, ‘Here’s to the next 30 years,’ or printing it, she sewed every letter,” Gomez, 33, continued. “It was the sweetest gift.”
On top of the beautiful display, Swift, 36, also hand-wrote the lyrics to a song she wrote about Gomez.
Although the “Only Murders in the Building” star didn’t say which song lyrics they were, she also revealed in the episode that Swift wrote “Dorothea” about her, as well as a vault track titled “Family” about their friendship.
Gomez’s husband, Benny Blanco, who joined her for the podcast interview, shared that he was “fully blown away” when his wife pulled the piece of art out of storage while going through old belongings.
“She pulls out this piece of art, and I’m like, ‘Ah, this is perfect for the living room,’ and I said, ‘Who made this painting?’ It’s like one of the best paintings I’ve ever seen.”
The singers have been friends since 2008 when they were each dating a Jonas Brother — Gomez was with Nick and Swift was with Joe.
“It was cute. We were young … We didn’t know what we were doing,” the former Disney Channel star recalled on the “Therapuss” podcast last August.
The duo “became best friends, bonded over the breakup,” and the rest was history.
