“Happy birthday to the goddess that is @taylorswift,” she penned alongside a mirror selfie of the pair. “I love you.”

The photo was taken last Friday night when the longtime pals grabbed dinner with Zoe Kravitz, Cara Delevingne and Anya Taylor-Joy at a Brooklyn eatery following Ramy Youssef’s comedy show.

Gomez, 31, grinned wide as Swift took the selfie and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Swift had her nails painted in festive green and red, while Gomez rocked the “B” ring she’s been touting ever since she confirmed her relationship with music producer Benny Blanco.

The “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version)” hitmaker kicked off her birthday celebrations early on Tuesday night by grabbing dinner in the Big Apple with Gomez, Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh Sperry, at hotspot restaurant Zero Bond.

She enjoyed their nighttime rendezvous instead of attending Time magazine’s gala that evening, despite the Person of the Year honor she received from the publication on Dec. 6

The photo was taken earlier this week, when Swift and Gomez went out in the Big Apple with some of their girlfriends in adorable mini skirts.

Swift then took the town by storm on the evening of her special day with her other bestie Blake Lively.

They were spotted heading into New York City’s The Box nightclub, with the birthday girl in a “Midnights” coded mini dress embellished with a sparkling moon and stars.

She was not with with her boyfriend Travis Kelce, 34, who was forced to remain in Kansas City, Mo. on Wednesday for a mandatory football practice, a source confirmed to Page Six.

However, Us Weekly reported he has something up his sleeve to make her feel special.

“Travis wants to throw the best party possible,” an insider told the outlet.

“Money is not an object and he wants her close friends [there].”

Perhaps, he was one of Swift’s loved ones who sent bouquets — including roses — to her New York City apartment beginning Wednesday morning.
