Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift can both count themselves as Bravo fans.
In a cover story interview with Vanity Fair on Monday, Sept. 9, the Only Murders in the Building star, 32, opened up about her friendship with the "Fortnight" singer, 34, revealing they "compare notes" about Vanderpump Rules.
Gomez revealed that while she will sometimes ask for Swift's advice on music or friendship in the spotlight, they're usually just gossiping as most friends do.

“She is really like a big sister to me," the "Fetish" artist told the publication of the 14-time Grammy winner.
Gomez revealed that they often discuss whatever drama is happening on the latest season of Vanderpump Rules.
“I’m on The Valley now,” the "Single Soon" artist said, referring to the reality TV series spinoff. “I’ve watched every episode of Vanderpump, so I don’t care if it’s bad!”
Elsewhere in the interview, Gomez revealed that she doesn't have plans to release any new music right now — aside from songs she recorded for her new film, Emilia Pérez, which were written by French singer and lyricist Camille with Clément Ducol.
“I don’t know if I’m ready, you know?” she told the outlet. “It’s a vulnerable space. Acting has always been my first love. Music is just a hobby that went out of control."
However, Gomez clarified that music "is a part of who I am."
"So I don’t think I’m going anywhere," she said. "I’m just not ready yet.”

Gomez and Swift initially crossed paths while they were each dating a Jonas brother back in 2008 (Gomez was linked to Nick Jonas and Swift was seeing Joe Jonas) and they ended up becoming friends.
The pop music pair have often given glimpses of their bond, including cheering each other on at award shows, celebrating big milestones together, and even collaborating on a few occasions.
In the past, the "Lose You to Love Me" musician has shared the stage with Swift during several of her tours and also made a cameo in the singer's "Bad Blood" music video.
