Girls night out! Taylor Swift was seen supporting her best friend Selena Gomez on Friday, walking close to the singer and actress as they pair hit up a comedy night in Brooklyn amid controversy.
Earlier that day, Selena had broken her silence over rumors she was dating music producer Benny Blanco, confirming their romance and defending her relationship as fans felt she was "dating down". But her comments also angered fans, as they were upset she had publicly taken a social media break and shied away from commenting on the Israel/Gaza war but was happy to speak out about her love life.
Selena replied to one fan who had criticised her by simply responding, 'right,' which led to further outrage.

For their night out, Taylor wore a plaid mini skirt by Miu Miu – one she previously was spotted in for a date night with Travis Kelce in Argentina earlier in November – and an oversized Gant shearling jacket, that retails for $1700.

Selena, meanwhile, meant business in a snakeskin mini skirt and matching duster, paired with a black roll neck top, 20 denier Calzedonia tights and and thigh-high boots by Stuart Weitzman.

Most recently they left their boyfriends at home for a night out with friends in New York City in early November, and two weeks earlier for a stylish but casual night out at Sushi Park in West Hollywood on October 19, where 33-year-old Taylor rocked a wide-leg blue jean paired with a white sheer H&M top over a black tank top.

Selena opted for a similarly understated look, donning boyfriend jeans, a black top, coat, and white sandals for the mild LA weather.
