Selena Gomez showed her support for best friend Taylor Swift and Swift’s NFL star boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in a clever nod during the latest episode of her Hulu show, Only Murders in the Building. The moment was subtle but didn’t go unnoticed by Swifties and NFL fans alike.
In the scene, Gomez, 32, and her co-star Martin Short, 74, are seen lounging on a couch surrounded by an array of dolls at the home of Melissa McCarthy’s character. For those paying close attention, a life-sized doll next to Gomez appeared to resemble Swift, complete with her iconic golden hair, signature red lipstick, and even a jersey with Kelce’s well-known number, 87. It was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it tribute that had fans buzzing.
Gomez has long been open about wanting her multi-Grammy-winning best friend to make a guest appearance on the show. In an interview with E! News back in August 2024, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum revealed that she’s been trying to get Swift, 34, on set for a while. “She’s too busy” for a cameo, Gomez explained but noted that Swift “calls every day” asking for updates.
Gomez and Swift’s friendship goes back to 2008, when the two dated Joe and Nick Jonas, respectively. Since then, their bond has only deepened over the years. While Gomez hasn’t yet joined her bestie at any Kansas City Chiefs games, she recently crossed paths with Kelce’s mom, Donna, during a cover shoot for Glamour magazine.
Meanwhile, Kelce himself has shown support for Gomez in the past. The Chiefs tight end liked an Instagram photo of Gomez and her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, when the pair attended a Lakers game back in January, hinting at a friendly rapport between the stars.
Though Swift has yet to make an official appearance on Only Murders in the Building, Gomez’s playful tribute shows that she’s a true “Swelce” at heart. Fans are now eagerly speculating about whether Swift might find time for a cameo in future episodes or if Gomez will make another subtle nod to her famous friend. For now, it’s clear that the pop star and actress knows how to keep her bestie’s presence alive in creative ways—even if it’s through a clever prop on her hit show.
