Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco always arrive on time—maybe too on time!
During an appearance on Spotify’s Countdown To on March 19, ahead of their upcoming album I Said I Love You First (set for release on March 21), the engaged couple reflected on their relationship and a particularly amusing party moment.
“What was the first party we ever went to?” Blanco, 37, asked Gomez, 32, as they cruised around Los Angeles in a vintage convertible.
Gomez laughed before sharing a memorable (and slightly embarrassing) experience: “I don’t know if it was the first, but we went to Taylor’s [Swift] party after an awards show. I was mortified because apparently, cool people don’t show up to parties on time.”
Blanco playfully teased his fiancée, saying, “We’re always the first people at every party when I go with you. You show up like my mom does—way too early.” He then joked, “I thought you were gonna mention the fact that no one knew we were dating, and we were still keeping it a secret.”
Gomez and Swift, 35, have been close friends for years, first meeting in 2008 while dating Jonas brothers—Swift with Joe Jonas and Gomez with Nick Jonas. When Gomez and Blanco got engaged in December 2024, Swift was quick to celebrate, even joking on Instagram that she’d be the flower girl at their wedding—a comment that racked up nearly two million likes.
As Gomez and Blanco gear up for their album drop, they’ve already released three singles: Scared of Loving You, Call Me When You Break Up (featuring Gracie Abrams), and Sunset Blvd, which came with a sultry music video.
Their album I Said I Love You First officially arrives on March 21.
