Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift 'support each other'

Selena Gomez has said that she sees Taylor Swift as one of her best friends, and claimed that the two are always supporting each other.

The teen singer revealed that the two have helped each other through break-ups in the past, including Swift's split from fellow singer Joe Jonas in 2008.

"Every problem I ever have is healable by Taylor Swift," Gomez told Top of the Pops magazine.

"What I love about Taylor is that she believes in the whole love story - Prince Charming, soul mates. Because of her, I haven't lost faith."

She added: "When Taylor was going through a hard time breaking up with Joe Jonas, we'd make each other playlists. I'd send her some girl-empowering music and she'd send some back."

Swift has also been open about her close friendship with Gomez, describing the Wizards of Waverley Place actress as being like a "sister" to her.

It has been confirmed that Gomez will host this year's MTV Video Music Awards pre-show on August 28.
