Pop star Selena Gomez has recently taken to Instagram to reveal that she has had matching tattoos with some of her closest friends. Over the weekend, the singer posted a number of photos with her friends, starting with 'My best friend turned 26. Part one.' The series of photos showed the singer with her friends celebrating by having pizza.

The singer then went on to post another series of photos showing the four friends having matching tattoos. Revealing in her caption the lovely reason behind the four friends having the number four tattooed on various parts of their body, Selena said, 'Best friend turned 26. Part 2. #4 because these women have stayed by my side for 7 years (@ashley_cook 12 years) 4, because you are my 4 for the rest of my life. I love you ladies.'

Selena continued, 'You all inspire me to be better, stronger, closer to god and we have lived the most INSANE story together already. Can’t wait for 50 more!! Ps @raquellestevens had an actual panic attack 🙄 it’s a dot! 🤦🏽‍♀️'.

Selena then finished her series of posts on Instagram revealing one more matching tattoo, saying, 'And lastly, my actual #1 @courtneyjbarry you are an incredible woman. The way you handle life’s most confusing moments is indescribable and graceful. You are moved by the littlest stories to the most heartbreaking ones, you will give someone your perfume if they say you smell nice, you are freaking hilarious and always stand firm in your faith, a loving sister, an amazing friend and a beautiful daughter. You are the definition of FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY made baby! #1'.

This latest photo of Selena and her friend Courtney has attracted a massive 6.8 million likes in less than 24 hours, with the other photos all receiving a few million likes each.

Last month, Selena turned 26 herself and received a special birthday present from Taylor Swift. Taking to her Instagram Story, Taylor posted a photo of a pink birthday cake, covered in a heart and hundreds and thousands. The icing on the cake read, 'Gomez or go home', with a big 26 in the middle. Taylor then included the words, 'Will I let distance stop me from celebrating my best friend’s birthday? I mean, I could but why would I want 2?'
