Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco might be pop music darlings, but even they have their cringe-worthy moments! The couple recently shared a hilarious memory from Taylor Swift’s party, proving that even a power couple can have awkward vibes.
Selena Gomez said that the first time she and Benny Blanco went out together was to a Taylor Swift’s party after an award show.

During a March 19 appearance on Spotify’s Countdown To, the couple recalled arriving way too early at one of Swift’s post-awards show parties. Selena admitted she was “mortified” when she realized that in Hollywood, being on time isn’t exactly cool. His fiancé later compared Selena’s punctual behavior to that of his mom at family reunions.

But that wasn’t even the most awkward part—they were keeping their relationship a secret at the time! Blanco joked about how nobody at the party knew they were dating, adding an extra layer of awkwardness to the moment. Fast-forward to 2025 and their love is public, with Taylor Swift offering to be the “flower girl” at their future wedding. Before that, though, they’re celebrating the release of their joint album “I Said I Love You” First out on March 21.
