Selena Gomez Reveals Taylor Swift’s ‘Dorothea’ Is About Her — Take Another Look at the Lyrics
Selena Gomez confirmed that Taylor swift’s song “Dorothea” is about her. On Tuesday, March 3, during an episode of Friends Keep Secrets hosted by Benny Blanco and Lil Dicky, along with his wife Kristin Batalucco, the Rare Beauty founder talked about her longtime friendship with Swift and revealed that the track, featured on Swift’s 2020 album, is about her.
“Well, ‘dorothea’ is about me, one of her songs. And I feel like a lot of moments and huge moments that were self-defining from relationships to family to love to hate, all of it in between, we were figuring it out because I was 15 and she was 18, and we didn’t really know what was going on. And so we’ve never seen each other any differently. So when I listen to it, I’m so impressed how it’s eloquently put.”

Initially, when Evermore was released in 2020, fans quickly speculated that “Dorothea” was inspired by Gomez. One fan broke down the theory in a detailed Twitter thread, pointing out several connections between the song and Gomez’s life, noting that Gomez favorite childhood movie is The Wizard of Oz, whose main character is Dorothy, possibly inspiring the name “Dorothea.” The fan also referenced lyrics about “sellin’ makeup and magazines,” linking them to Gomez’s Rare Beauty brand and public image, as well as the line about “pageant schemes,” which nodded to her early years in child pageants.

Gomez and Taylor Swift have known each other since 2008, when they were both dating a member of the Jonas Brothers, which led to a close friendship. Reflecting on that journey during the podcast, Gomez said, “It’s absolutely unbelievable to come from 17 years of friendship, from multiple heartbreaks and love stories and fun stories in life, we both ended up fortunately being engaged around the same time.”

She also revealed that “Dorothea” isn’t the only song Swift has inspired by their friendship. According to Gomez, Swift wrote another track inspired by their friendship titled “Family,” though it was never released.
