Selena Gomez took to social media on Thursday (June 12) to wish her little sister, Gracie Elliot Teefey, a happy 12th birthday.
“Happy birthday to my baby sissy,” the superstar captioned an adorable slideshow of photos taken over the years with the budding tween — including shots of the sisters dressed in matching costumes at the 2019 premiere of Frozen II, out for lunch together and on a FaceTime call with Gracie Abrams. “As I cry writing this, my heart melts because I know you know I’m always on your side. No matter what. I love you baby girl.”
Gomez’s bestie Taylor Swift also played a hilarious role in her thoughtful birthday tribute, with the Rare Beauty founder using her Instagram Stories to show her followers just how much of a devoted Swiftie Gracie is.
In the home video, Selena and Gracie can be seen spending some quality time together by playing games on a hotel bed. It appears, however, that the now-12-year-old couldn’t be bothered with whatever’s happening in front of her. Instead, she’s much more concerned with finding the music video for Swift’s Lover-era single “The Man” on the television, matter-of-factly telling her older sister, “There. Now we can watch the video too."
“When she loves auntie Taylor [more] than me,” Gomez captioned the funny video, punctuating the self-deprecating sentiment with a laughing emoji.
Less than two weeks ago, the “Sunset Boulevard” singer also had plenty to celebrate when her equally famous bestie secured the original masters of her first six albums, prompting Gomez to declare, “Yes you did that Tay!!!” on social media.
