Selena Gomez asks Taylor Swift for boy advice

Selena Gomez asks Taylor Swift for dating advice.

The 'Good For You' singer, 23, who split from her boyfriend Justin Bieber last year following four years of on/off dating, has admitted she automatically turns to the 25-year-old starlet when she needs help in the "boy department."

Speaking to Britain's InStyle magazine, she said: "I'll be like, 'I think I totally screwed up,' but Taylor says, 'Actually, you didn't,' and shows me how to make my mistakes into something great. People have this fantasy that we're in our underwear, having pillow fights. We just play good music - sometimes live - and eat, and hang out."

And the pair, who formed a friendship eight years ago, are so close that they even refer to one another as like family.

Speaking of the 'Blank Space' hitmaker, Selena said recently: "She's like a sister to me."

But it's not just dating advice Taylor dishes out to the brunette beauty as she's also been there to pick up the pieces when Selena was going through a tough time.

She explained: "We met when she was 18. I was 15 or 16. She was so great to me. Then we became best friends. She would fly out to see me when I was going through something really hard. We'd eat a lot of fattening food and vent."
