Selena Gomez confirmed that Taylor Swift’s Dorothea was inspired by her.

On Tuesday, March 3, appearing on her husband Benny Blanco's podcast Friends Keep Secrets, the Only Murders in the Building actress revealed the fact five years after the release of Swift’s album, Evermore.

"'Dorothea' is about me," she shared. "I feel like a lot of huge moments that were self-defining, from relationships to family to love to hate, all of it in between—we were figuring it out because I was 15 and she was 18."

She added that they had not fully understood what was happening at the time and added that they had never viewed each other any differently. She also noted that, on listening to it now, she felt “impressed by how eloquently” it had been expressed.

When Taylor released her ninth studio album, listeners quickly began speculating that its eighth track referenced Selena, particularly due to the line about Dorothea “selling dreams and makeup,” although neither of them addressed the rumours.

Selena also revealed that, there was another unreleased song that Swift wrote about their friendship.

“So there's this song that Taylor wrote about us, and it was called ‘Family,’” she continued. “And it was over easily a decade ago, insinuating in the lyrics, without quoting it, is basically saying, you have these amazing dreams you want to be in movies and then her part was, you know, you believe in my stupid dreams, like playing stadiums. And now when I listen to that song, both of those things have happened for us.”
