'Taylor supports me and never judges me' Reavels Selena Gomez

There have been rumours of a rift, but according to Selena Gomez she and Taylor Swift have been close friends for many years.

And on Friday Selena sat down to chat with the hosts of show The Talk where she discussed her friendship with the Shake It Off singer. 

The 22-year-old actress and pop singer, who recently split from her on-off boyfriend Justin Bieber, admits the blonde hitmaker, 24, believes she will benefit from ditching people who no longer boost her life and career.

Selena sat down with Sharon Osbourne, Julie Chen, Aisha Taylor, Sara Gilbert and Sheryl Underwood where they covered Taylor's recent advice.

The Monte Carlo star explained: 'She [Swift] was actually at my house the other day, and we were sitting by the fire and I was talking about relationships and business in my life.

'She just kind of looked at me and was like, "Selena, if you're the smartest person in the room, I think you're going to be in the wrong room."'

'She thinks I should constantly surround myself with people who are going to make me better, that are going to challenge and motivate me.'

Taylor's words had an impact on her chum, with Selena adding: 'It kind of stuck to me. I want to surround myself with those people.'

However, the Come & Get It songstress insists Taylor, who was reportedly against her dating Justin, 20, will always stand by and support her regardless of her life choices.

Selena added: 'She supports me and never judges me.'

Meanwhile, relationship advice isn't the only thing Taylor has been giving her pal as she has also been trying to persuade Selena, who recently moved out of her parents' house and into her own property in Los Angeles, to set up home in New York.

Gomez said previously: 'She's been begging me [to move to New York] every time we get on the phone, because it's been a really good thing for her.'

Taylor has been doling out advice to more than just her best friends.

During the X Factor Australia finale on Monday night, which included a special performance from Swift, the 24-year-old songstress was greeted by roaring cheers from the audience as she took to the stage to sing her latest hit single Shake It Off. 

Afterwards, the singer gave a couple sage words of advice to the competition's winner.

'I think never assuming that you are entitled to anything is very important,' she said.

The blonde bombshell added: 'Also treating people well, not just people who you think can help you but generally treating everybody well.'
