‘Last thing we need right now’ Taylor Swift’s BFF is far from happy

Jul 18, 2016

Having your girl's back is the number one rule of friendship, and it looks like Selena Gomez might have her work cut out for her this week.

With her BFF, Taylor Swift, coming in for seriously harsh criticism on social media this morning, the former Disney star did what any self-respecting BFF would do, and desperately attempted to deflect attention away from the media circus that is the Swift/ West feud.

Soon after Kim Kardashian leaked footage of Taylor appearing to approve the Kanye West lyrics which she always maintained she hadn't, Selena took to Twitter to remind people that there are much more important things going on in the world right now.

"There are more important things to talk about. Why can't people use their voice for something that f*cking matters?" she wrote in a post earlier this morning.

There are more important things to talk about… Why can't people use their voice for something that fucking matters?

"Truth is last thing we need right now is hate, in any form," she added in a sentence which had many Twitter users scratching their heads until they realised Selena was not against truth, but all for love. (Phew, right?!)

While she doesn't directly reference Kim's leaked footage, fans and followers were fairly certain she was referring to the ongoing feud, and added their two cents to the discussion, with one writing: "Then you should check your girl."

This industry is so disappointing yet the most influential smh

"This industry is so disappointing yet the most influential smh," she added in a third tweet to which one follower replied: "Is Taylor holding a gun to your head as you tweet this or?"

Ouch!
