Longtime friends Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift weren't seated together at the 2023 MTV VMAs, nor did they pose together on the red carpet. But a tiny bit of distance didn’t stop them from showing just how deep their friendship goes.

Both were each other’s biggest fans when they took the stage to accept VMAs throughout the night. Selena and Rema won for Best Afrobeats Video for their collaboration “Calm Down.” When Selena was invited by Rema to give her own little acceptance speech, Taylor ecstatically cheered for her.
