Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are literally going to be BFFs forever.

During a recent radio interview, Selena praised her pal Tay-Tay, dubbing her an "incredible inspiration" in her career.

Selena went on to say of her friend of eight years, that the Bad Blood singer has always encouraged her to be herself and is one of her biggest supporters.

Speaking to Manchester's Key 103, Selena said: "Taylor's just been such an incredible inspiration and she's just like one of my biggest supporters and I don't think people know that as much as they think that she is.

"She has always wanted to see me find what makes me different and never forced her opinion too much; she would just tell me what she believed and what she thinks I should do and I've known her for eight years!

"So it's something that we've always kind of been in tune with and at the AMAs when I performed 'The Heart Wants What It Wants' she was like sobbing backstage and she's like, 'I'm so proud of you, that was everything I always wanted people to see about you', and it's just like really cool. She's incredible."

Selena featured as the "bad guy" in Taylor's music video for track Bad Blood.

During the interview, the Good For You singer also teased a possible collaboration with controversial singer Chris Brown.

"Well it's funny, we actually just kind of recently got in touch. So the album is done," added Selena. "I'm such a huge Chris Brown fan. He's known that. I've known him throughout the years but if there's an opportunity for us to do something later, of course because he's so... I think he's so talented, you know?"

Aside from Chris, Selena continued to say that she would be "pretty excited" to work with former One Direction member Zayn Malik.

Well you sure know how to pick the controversial male singers in the industry, don't you Sel.

"I know Zayn so it's almost like if he would ever want to reach out, he knows that he could," she said.

Selena's new album Revival is due to drop this autumn.
