Flaa referred to these revelations in the Daily Mail article during her podcast video.
"Selena Gomez, who is really good friends with Taylor Swift, had warned Taylor Swift about Blake Lively years ago, saying that you should not get close to her… And of course, now that we know what happened when she dragged Taylor Swift into this, Selena Gomez is like, ‘Yeah, Taylor, I told you so. Stay away from Blake'", the podcaster remarked.
The insider further told Daily Mail that Gomez "wishes no one harm or ill will" and that "she is glad that Taylor is getting to see what she has felt for years."

"If you ever get around to watching Game Of Thrones, you’ll appreciate I’m Khaleesi, and, like her, I happen to have a few dragons. For better or worse, but usually for better.
