The friendship of Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift was once the talk of the town until things turned sour because of Justin Bieber. The ex-boyfriend of Gomez allegedly caused a rift between the besties as Swift was averse to his re-entry in Gomez's life. A lot of speculations have been swirling around since then about the equation of the two songstresses and it seems all is really not well.

Taylor Swift turned 27 on Tuesday and though she received birthday wishes from many of her friends and well-wishers, Selena Gomez was missing from the list, reports Refinery 29. The 24-year-old singer did not wish Swift and her absence has set tongues wagging. However, before one derives any conclusion one should also take into account the fact that Gomez has taken a sabbatical from social media and is currently focusing on her health.

Her Twitter account has seen no action since August. Notably, this was the same time when she announced her break declaring that she is taking time off for herself. She did appear recently on Thanksgiving when she posted a photo on Instagram, thanking her fans for always supporting her. However, she has been more or less silent this year and thus, some are saying that she might have decided to refrain from wishing in public and would have done the same in private.

She could have chosen to text her bestie. Well, one does not know for sure but fans of Swift would be happy to know that there was no dearth of wishes from other celebrities. From Gigi Hadid to Kevin Costner, everyone congratulated the birthday girl, reports PerezHilton.com. Karlie Kloss did it first, saying she cannot wait to celebrate together.

Ruby Rose also shared a heartfelt post and so did Martha Hunt and Todrick Hall, expressing how much they adore her and how she inspires them.

Nonetheless, Selena Gomez's absence made everyone take notice and though it is not clear if Justin Bieber led to their fallout, he is expected to get targeted. Same holds true for Drake, who has not wished her. She was rumored to be dating him some time back. The affair stories started floating when Taylor Swift attended his birthday party and he gifted her some exclusive cat accessories for her furry pets.
