Selena Gomez Confirms Taylor Swift's ＂Dorothea＂ Is About Her ｜ E! News

Selena Gomez set the record straight by confirming a long‑running Swiftie theory! On the March 3 episode of 'Friends Keep Secrets,' the podcast hosted by her husband Benny Blanco, Selena revealed that Taylor Swift’s 2020 'evermore' track “dorothea” was actually written about her. The singer explained that the song reflected their shared experiences growing up in the spotlight together, recalling how they navigated life, love, and fame while still just teenagers. Back when 'evermore' dropped, Taylor described Dorothea as a fictional character, but fans quickly connected the lyrics to Selena. Lines like “you’re a queen selling dreams, selling makeup and magazines” sparked speculation that Taylor was referencing Selena’s Rare Beauty empire. Taylor had also said the song was about “a girl who left her small town to chase Hollywood dreams,” which aligned perfectly with Selena’s Texas‑to‑LA journey. Selena also mentioned that Taylor wrote an unreleased song "Family" about their friendship.
