- Swift praised Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco for their work on the album "I Said I Love You First."
- Swift's endorsement was her first on Instagram since December's "Eras Tour."
- Fans criticized Interscope Records for failing to promote the album effectively.
Swift wrote, “[Selena Gomez] & [Benny Blanco] I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD,” while sharing a link to the album. According to the source, this post marked her first on the platform since December, when she celebrated the end of her record-breaking “Eras Tour”.
Swift’s endorsement pleased Gomez’s fans, who had previously felt disappointed by the lack of celebrity support for the album. Before Swift’s post, a fan account on X wrote, “No celebrity supporting Selena Gomez’s new album except Becky G. Not Even Taylor Swift.” The post was later deleted.
Fans also criticized Interscope Records for failing to promote *I Said I Love You First* effectively. Many believe the album, released on March 21, hasn’t received the push it deserves despite Gomez’s consistent support for other artists.
Gomez released “I Said I Love You First” as her first major music project since her 2020 album “Rare”. The album includes collaborations with artists like GloRilla, J Balvin, Tainy, and Gracie Abrams, who previously opened for Swift on “The Eras Tour”. Finneas O’Connell, Justin Tranter, and others also contributed to the project.
Before the album’s release, Gomez and Blanco discussed their creative process in a 33-minute Spotify interview. Gomez explained that they approached songwriting naturally and conversationally.
“We’d get up in the morning and have a conversation. But our conversation was never led going, ‘What are we going to write in the album?’” Gomez said.
Blanco said, “Sometimes, you’d say something really important, and I wasn’t sure if you even realized, but I’d always open my phone and think, ‘Fuck, that’s such a good line for a song.’”
Before Valentine’s Day, Gomez announced “I Said I Love You First” on social media, teasing the album alongside its lead single, “Scared of Loving You”.
