Taylor Swift has spoken of her friendship with Selena Gomez and how it started over heartbreak.

The pair dated Jonas Brothers Joe and Nick respectively before splitting - and that experience seems to have brought the couple closer.

Speaking to Canada's CityTV, Swift said that they spent time together with junk food following their doses of heartbreak. She said:

"One of our early on friendship bonding moments was a couple years ago when both of us were really going through heartbreak situations. I just called her and I was like, 'I'll be over there in 10 minutes with a bunch of junk food'. Ever since then, we're just been kinda like sisters, it's more of like a sister bond."

THe 'Red' star continued: "We've known each other since the time that we were both like here [pointing down] and then things kind of sped up with our careers and things went up at the same time and our friendship stayed intact." Watch the video for Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' below:
