Selena Gomez reportedly feels like an "outsider" in Taylor Swift's circle

Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift have reportedly grown apart, with Gomez opting not to spend time with Swift's other friends. 

According to sources close to Gomez, she avoids socializing with Swift partly because of the group dynamics. 

Swift has frequently been seen with her celebrity friends, including Blake Lively, Lana Del Rey, Ice Spice, and Brittany Mahomes, while Gomez has been notably absent. The two were last photographed together in January.

Sources have told DailyMail.com that Gomez, who is no longer seen with Swift’s inner circle, feels like an "outsider." One insider shared, "She has no desire to be out with Blake, or Ice Spice, or Brittany or really any of those girls." 

This feeling reportedly intensified in February when Gomez responded with a sad emoji to an Instagram photo of Swift with Lana Del Rey and Ice Spice. Additionally, Gomez did not attend Swift's Rhode Island party in August.

There have been past reports that Gomez and Blake Lively do not get along and "don’t mix well." The two spend time with Swift separately, further emphasizing the divide, as they have never appeared together at Swift’s various events, including Fourth of July parties.

The growing distance between Gomez and Swift has also been attributed to their personal lives. Taylor is dating Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Travis Kelce, while Selena is in a relationship with musician Benny Blanco. 

Despite their busy lives, sources affirm the two remain friends and will likely reconnect at future events.
