Sometimes, you've just gotta tell the world how you feel. Selena Gomez knows that. 

Gomez added her birthday wishes for longtime pal Taylor Swift to the singer’s social media pile Wednesday, gushing over her friend online, and offline, hanging out with her two nights in a row.

Swift rang in her 34th birthday in New York City Wednesday night, with Gomez and (so many) other celebrity pals in tow, and Selena also took to her Instagram Story to tell the world how much she loves her superstar friend. “Happy birthday to the goddess that is Taylor Swift,” she captioned a photo of the two grinning in a mirror. “I love you.”

Judging by their outfits, the pic was taken last Friday when Gomez and Swift had a girls’ night out in New York with Zoë Kravitz, Cara Delevingne, and Anya Taylor-Joy.

Gomez was spotted in New York with Swift on both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings as well. On Wednesday night, Gomez was amongst a flock of pals who headed out on the town to mark Swift’s actual birthday, along with Blake Lively, Kravitz, Miles Teller, Antoni Porowski, Gigi Hadid, and more. Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, wasn’t in attendance at the festivities, as he’s in Kansas City participating in mandatory practice ahead of the Chiefs’ game against the New England Patriots this Sunday.

Of course, it doesn’t take a birthday for Gomez to gush over Swift. In September, she shared a photo of herself and Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards to her Instagram Story, joking that “She looks stunning, I look constipated. Typical.”
