Taylor Swift is a mastermind when it comes to gift-giving.
The “Anti-Hero” singer’s present for longtime best friend Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco has been revealed — and the package included several thoughtful goodies.
In a photo shared to Instagram Story July 22, Benny posted a photo of the wicker basket sent by Swift sitting on top of a marble countertop. And inside the container was a round, golden loaf of bread wrapped in a paper bag labeled with a hand-written sticker reading, “homemade sourdough.”
“It’s a loaf story,” Swift wrote on another tag adorned with lavender flowers, hilariously nodding to her 2008 song “Love Story,” while adding a third sticker that said, “Love, Taylor.”
And a delicious slice of bread isn’t all Swift had to offer Gomez and Blanco, who announced their engagement back in December following one year of dating. The 35-year-old also appeared to include bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to pair with the savory treat, as well as a $78 candle from Le Labo in the scent Encens 9.

However, a sweet gift is far from the only way Swift has showed up for Gomez as of late. Earlier this week, the Grammy winner stepped out in Los Angeles for the “Hands to Myself” singer’s 33rd birthday party, with the besties even posing alongside each other at one point in their disco-themed ensembles.
Of course, Gomez and Swift’s close friendship is nothing new. The pair have been open about how important they are to each other since first forming a connection in 2008, when they were both dating members of the Jonas Brothers. (Swift was linked to Joe Jonas while Gomez dated Nick Jonas.)
In fact, Gomez recently revealed that Swift is one of the first people she turns to when she records new music.
“With Taylor, I value her opinion so much because she’s super honest,” Gomez said during an interview with iHeardRadio March 27. “So, I always play her — on any of my albums — like the top two [songs]. I like to see what she says. And she’s done the same.”
As for Swift? The “Bejeweled” singer already knows how she plans to cheer her BFF on when she ties the knot with Blanco. As she wrote under Gomez’s engagement announcement back in December, “Yes I will be the flower girl.”
Selena Gomez and fiancé Benny Blanco surprised fans who showed up for a special screening of her 2012 film ”Spring Breakers” at a New York theater. The A25 film was re-released for one night at the nation’s second largest Imax screen at the AMC Lincoln Square theater in New York City. The singer and music producer debuted a song called “Bluest Flame” from their upcoming album, “I Said I Love You First” for the moviegoers.
