Here's Why Taylor Swift Baked a Birthday Cake Even Though She Knew Selena Gomez Couldn't Eat It

Taylor Swift just did for Selena Gomez what one does for one's bestie.

It's said that you can't have your cake and eat it too, and Selena Gomez knows that all too well. The "Bad Liar" singer recently rang in her 26th year, and her bestie Taylor Swift marked the occasion as a baking aficionado would: by whipping up a gorgeous pink cake. The only problem? Selena couldn't taste it. 

On July 22, Swift took to Instagram stories to share a photo of the girly gateau. Along with pale pink frosting and a festive heart decorated with a "26," the singing baker added a catchy phrase in piping: "Gomez or go home."

But, here's the thing: Gomez was on the West Coast at the time; Swift was on the East.

"Will I let distance stop me from celebrating my best friend's bday?" she wrote. "I mean I could but why would I want 2," referencing some lyrics in Gomez's song "Hands to Myself."
