"We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together, it was hysterical," Selena said in a 2017 interview with KISS FM UK. "We just clicked...It was the best thing we got out of those relationships."

(I will add that, as listeners, we got songs like "Last Kiss" and "Mr. Perfectly Fine" out of the relationships, which definitely comes as a close second to this friendship.)

In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don't know if I can forgive someone who hurts her."

"She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected," Selena says. "Flown in because I was hurt and was going through something. Stuff that was going on with my family.

The duo snapped a few pics and had some of my favorite moments from the night. When Selena won, Taylor screamed her head off and blew kisses in Selena's direction. In short: she couldn't ~calm down~ and neither could I.

The duo appear to be on the patio of a restaurant, and it totally makes me want to hang out with them, whether they're eating out or traveling the globe.

Then they went to grab some pizza at Lucali in Brooklyn — can I get a slice?!

Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift Exchange Whispers At The Golden Globes

The Golden Globe Awards was full of interesting moments, but nothing stood out quite like Selena making a beeline to Taylor's table to tell her something. Entertainment Tonight reports that the Only Murders in the Building star was seen whispering something in Taylor's ear that must've been juicy enough for her to visibly gasp. While no one knows for sure what they were talking about, it's clear that Taylor mouthed, "She what" to Selena Gomez.

One Xuser posted, "Oh I just know Selena Gomez was talking some *shit* with Taylor. She’s so me. Love them. #GoldenGlobes." Despite speculations that Kylie had an issue with boyfriend Timothée being near Selena, a source told People the latter, "...was absolutely not referencing anything about Timothée or Kylie."

Given their close-knit friendship, the world may never know what Taylor and Selena were whispering about...unless they want to tell us.

CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30

This $15 moisturizer is packed with three essential ceramides to help restore and maintain your skin's barrier, contributing to an ultra-hydrated look. It's also formulated with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide for even more moisture! The best part is the inclusion of micro-fine zinc oxide sunscreen that's "absorbed quickly" without leaving a greasy finish.

e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Face Cream

For just $13, this face cream from e.l.f. delivers supple yet lightweight moisture to the skin. It "instantly absorbs," making it a great no-fuss option to wear under layers of more skincare and makeup. It's made with hyaluronic acid to boost hydration, niacinamide to minimize pores and even out skin tone, and various peptides that promote collagen production for a youthful glow. Plus, the SPF 30 provides daily protection against harmful, damaging UVA and UVB rays.

Versed Sweet Relief Night Mask + Face Balm

I love using this $13 face balm as a nightly moisturizer, especially in the fall and winter months when my skin is dryer than usual. The formula is super thick, helping to support the skin barrier since it locks in moisture for hours on end. It's formulated with "nutrient-dense" bacuri butter, kokum butter, and apricot kernel oil, which is rich in antioxidants. Regular wear can result in a "soft, plump, radiant-looking complexion."

If your face doesn't exactly crave thick moisturizers, this $23 one from Neutrogena is the way to go. It boasts a lightweight water-gel formulation, which soaks in quickly without any greasy effect. It delivers "6x more hydration than untreated skin and hydrates skin for 48 hours," according to the brand. Anyone with normal, oily, or dry skin can use this gentle product!

L’Oréal Paris Collagen Daily Face Moisturizer

If your skin has signs of aging, this $11 pick is perfect for tackling fine lines and wrinkles. Its formula includes collagen, which is known it increase hydration and improve elasticity. You can choose from fragranced and non-fragranced versions, though non-fragranced skincare products are most commonly recommended by dermatologists since fragrances can dry out and irritate skin – especially sensitive skin types.

Byoma Gel Cream Moisturizer

This $15 pick is a great product for daily hydration. It's lightweight and oil-free, which lays a solid foundation for more skincare products and makeup. It has three ceramides to build up and support the skin barrier, as well as niacinamide and green tea to "improve tone and texture."
