Taylor Swift’s Role in Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Wedding Revealed
Selena Gomez can’t keep her joy to herself.
Five days after tying the knot with Benny Blanco, the Rare Beauty founder called their wedding a “joyful moment” while thanking her “beautiful community” in a heartfelt letter.
“As I step into one of the most special seasons of my life,” Selena wrote in the letter, shared to Instagram Oct. 2, “I can’t help but think of you, my incredible friends who have been with me through every twist, turn, and chapter.”
The Disney Channel alum added, “From my first days on screen to the songs we’ve sung together, and now to this new beginning, your love and support have meant more to me than I could ever truly put into words.”
Selena also described her family, friends and fans as “the ones who have lifted me up, believed in me, and reminded me of my own worth when I needed it most.”
“Thank you for being part of my journey, through the highs, the lows, and everything in between,” the 33-year-old continued. “You’ve been my safe place, my cheerleaders, and my constant reminder that I’m never walking alone.”
While announcing a new makeup kit that was inspired by the look she donned at the star-studded wedding—which counted Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Steve Martin and Martin Short among its guest list—she shared her gratitude and turned her sights toward the future.

“From my heart to yours, thank you for letting me share this milestone with you,” Selena concluded. “Here’s to love, to new chapters, and to the beauty we carry inside and out.”
Beyond showing off the makeup she wore on her big day, the “Who Says” singer has also given glimpses at the three custom Ralph Lauren gowns she wore during the ceremony in Santa Barbara, Calif.: a white, halter-neck bridal gown, a corset-style halter-neck dress with 300 hand-shaped lace flowers and a tea-length, off-the-shoulder white dress with a flared skirt.
Plus, Selena’s Wizards of Waverly Place costar David DeLuise provided a peek into into how magical the day was.
“Being there for the actual vows,” he said on his wife Julia DeLuise’s Instagram Story Sept. 29, per People. “Everything that was said was so great. And when they opened the curtain for the first time in the day, the sun came out and it was sunset behind her. It was as if they were like, ‘Don’t worry. Cue the sun!’”
Read on to look back at Selena and Benny’s love story that led them down the aisle.
