But Selena Gomez proved her loyal friendship to Taylor Swift at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday night.

The 23-year-old singer supported her BFF as she won big and took home the Female Artist of the Year and Album of the Year awards.

Swift, 26, took home the first award of the night at the star-studded event, which honours the best in music, and was held at the fabulous Forum in Inglewood, California. 

She also won for Best Tour and Most Meme-able Moment for her 'Crazy Girl' with running mascara from her Blank Space video.

Taylor was pitted against Gomez in the coveted category and credited her girlfriends like the Hands To Myself singer for her move into pop music.

It seems like jumpsuits were a hit on the iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet. Selena Gomez donned an orange cutout version while Demi Lovato chose a monochrome 80's inspired number.

But Taylor Swift oozed sex appeal when she arrived in a catsuit pulled from Saint Laurent's Fall 2016 collection. The form fitting one-piece had a halter neckline and was covered in sequins. It was also cinched at the waist with an oversize patent leather belt.

If you want to give your evening wear a boost, then follow Taylor's lead and rock a sparkly jumpsuit with some killer heels. Her exclusive look is not available in stores so get something similar below.

TFNC and French Connection both have strapless options while Boohoo has a plunge neck version that's sure to make your next special occasion one you won't soon forget.

She said: 'The decision to make a pop album was not made in a conference room or by a record label. Those decisions were made in my kitchen with my girlfriends and the women in my life.'

They faced stiff competition as along with Swift and Gomez, Adele, Carrie Underwood and Meghan Trainor also received nods. 

The gorgeous gal pals were also competitors for Best Fan Army, with Taylor's Swifties going up against Gomez's Selenators.

Global victory! Swift also won for Best Tour for her 1989 World Tour

But that award went to Selena's former flame, Justin Bieber for his devoted Beliebers, as he also took home Male Artist of the Year award.

However, the Good For You hitmaker smashed the competition as she won the award for Triple Threat (Singer/Actor/Dancer).

She crushed her opponents which included Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Nick Jonas, Usher and Jason Derulo.
