Selena Gomez has opened up about her friendship with her best friends, revealing that Taylor Swift and Vanessa Hudgens have helped her through everything from breakups to guy drama and life in the spotlight.

"It helped [me] having Taylor and Vanessa both be older than me," she told People magazine. "They've kind of experienced a little bit more, and at the same time we're experiencing the exact same things together.

"It's nice just to be able to pick up the phone and be like, 'Ugh, I had this person say this and it's annoying', and have someone understand and really get what you're going through.

"I think that’s [our] main connection. I just enjoy having people in the business in my life because it helps."
