Selena Gomez just dropped her highly anticipated joint album I Said I Love You First with fiancé Benny Blanco on March 21, and fans are already dissecting the lyrics. One song, in particular, Younger and Hotter Than Me, has caught everyone’s attention—not just for its catchy melody but because it seems to echo a famous Taylor Swift lyric.
In the track, Gomez sings about growing older and the insecurities that sometimes come with it: “We’re not gettin’ any younger, but your girlfriends seem to.” Fans immediately drew comparisons to Swift’s All Too Well (10 Minute Version) and its iconic line: “I’ll get older, but your lovers stay my age.”
The internet was quick to react, with one fan on X writing, “Woah. The subject matter of this song is reminiscent of All Too Well a bit, especially with that line. Sonically, it’s perfect for Selena’s voice as well.” Another added, “Younger and Hotter Than Me reminds me so much of All Too Well (10 Min Version)!”
While Gomez hasn’t confirmed if the lyrics were directly inspired by Swift, their long-time friendship makes the theory all the more intriguing. The two pop icons have always supported each other, with Gomez previously sharing how emotional it was when she played Lose You to Love Me for Swift and her mom, Andrea Swift, back in 2019.
Swift has also been one of Gomez’s biggest cheerleaders, often promoting her music and celebrating her achievements. Whether or not Younger and Hotter Than Me was influenced by All Too Well, one thing is clear—Gomez knows how to write lyrics that hit home.
