Selena Gomez will always leave a blank space on the playlist for a certain Taylor Swift song.

The Only Murders in the Building star revealed that when it comes to her longtime BFF's many, many hits, she thinks "Wildest Dreams" stands above the rest.

"I think this is one of her, if not, I mean I guess I shouldn't say this, but I do think it's one of her best songs," Selena explained while guest-hosting Sirius XM Hits 1. "It's incredibly well done. The lyrics, everything. Just the melodies—it's one of my favorites that no matter when it comes on, I will just blast it in any mood I'm in."

During her guest DJ outing, she also played tracks by Doja Cat, Frank Sinatra and Ariana Grande, with her sharing exactly why she loves the "yes, and?" singer like a love song as well.

"I cannot do anything fun without listening to Ariana," Selena gushed. "I feel so empowered, and I think she's incredible and I just have so much fun, so I'm the girl that's playing Ariana all the time and I think people kind of notice that, but I love it. I think she's amazing."

While the "Single Soon" artist had no trouble calling out the 1989 track as her favorite Taylor song, Selena has struggled to pick her favorite Taylor album. This became pretty clear to the 31-year-old when trying to dress in theme when attending the "Anti-Hero" singer's Eras tour twice last year with her little sister, Gracie Elliott Teefey.

"I can't pick one," Selena explained in an interview with Most Requested Live last fall. "I love all the eras. It took me back in time, especially because I've lived so much life with her, so I felt like my entire childhood was flashing before my eyes and my 20s."
 
The Disney alum continued, "I think the whole idea of creating those moments for each album is really special, so I can't pick a favorite. I really loved it all."
