Hollywood self-proclaimed besties, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, do a lot together. From appearing in each others music videos to hanging out at each others parties and sitting next to each other at awards shows. The duo is undeniably fierce, fabulous and good looking. But when two people are in the face of the media every day, being judged by millions, the question will pop up: who’s hotter? One is blonde and sprightly and the other is brunette and cultured. To us, it’s no contest. Selena is the hottest of the two and Tay pales in comparison (both metaphorically and physically).

Selena is a force in the entertainment industry with millions of devoted fans and followers. She also has matured well beyond her Barney & Friends days and have transformed into a fully functional woman who is dominating her career. Aside from her accomplishments, she’s hot af.

Taylor, on the other hand, is pretty but is she really what men want? Given her dating history, it’s easy to say not so much. Also, Selena slays in both foxiness and intrigue. If you don’t believe us, just check out our super valid reasons. In the end, we believe you’ll choose our side too when presented with all this evidence.

15 She’s Sultry

Taylor may be cute and bubbly, but Selena is a seductress with those deep, dark eyes and that come-hither gaze she slips into so naturally. When it comes to comparing these two women, Selena oozes sexiness and desirability with merely a glance, whereas Taylor really has to step out of her comfort zone to achieve such a task. Selena owns her beauty in a way that tells men that she’s sensual, and isn’t afraid to let that side of her shine. Between these two songstresses, Selena takes the cake for looking like she’s down to get down, or at least suggesting that she’s no stranger to romantic rendezvous. Taylor, on the other hand, looks like she’s stuck in junior high and no man wants to play with that fire.

14 She’s Smarter

Well, maybe not when it comes to choosing to date Bieber, but in everything else she’s one smart cookie. From her music and film choices, Selena chooses tasteful and thoughtful roles and songs. She’s even stepped up her game in choosing to elevate her career with producing, a very smart move when it comes to making it in Hollywood. She’s even said that during her high school days, she was never popular and chose to keep to herself and get on with her work. She began her own production studio at the age of sixteen and even became a UNICEF ambassador at the age of seventeen, all while continuing to act and launch a singing career. That is UN. REAL. ambition. Unlike Swift, whose only focus is on her music career.

13 She’s More Natural

When comparing these two starlets, we have to give credit to Selena for looking flawless in her skin. She doesn’t even need makeup to stand out from a crowd, and that’s one trait that all men love. She has a natural beauty about her, so guys dig the fact that they’d be able to wake up next to her and be greeted with a face that’s au naturale and not one that looks like a stranger. It’s no secret that men prefer women with less makeup, so Selena will hands down win over the hearts of males worldwide with her low maintenance beauty regime. We’re not saying that she never dolls up for an event, but she definitely doesn’t need to add all that glamour to land a man.

12 Her Voice Is Sexier

While both women have shown that they have the capabilities of achieving a number one track and they each have millions of fans of their music all over the world, their voices cannot be compared. In interviews, TSwift has a flighty – borderline annoying – voice that always seems like she’s surprised and is being phony. Selena’s voice is honest, down-to-earth, and is slightly deeper, raspier, and just downright sexier. When men think about who they’d rather have a conversation with, they’d not only choose Selena for her gorgeousness, but also because they genuinely will enjoy listening to her speak in that stimulating and arousing voice of hers. Any man would rather speak to a calm, throaty chick than one who is vying for head cheerleader.

11 She Doesn’t Kiss & Tell

For any man that gets with Selena, they won’t have to worry about her taking to her journal to pen out her next hit single. While Tay will immediately run to the studio to blab about her latest boyfriend, Selena is playing it cool and quiet, enjoying keeping her most recent kisses to herself. While every artist has t harness their lyrics from somewhere, Selena’s songs make you question if they really are about a particular man or are just generally good lyrics. Meanwhile, Taylor is becoming notorious for writing songs about all of her exes. This will make any man bounce the moment she begins to flirt with them. For men, secrets are sexy and makes for an even hotter partner when the woman he’s with knows how to keep one.

10 She Is More Committed

When it comes to being with men, these two girls have very different styles of dating. While Taylor jumps around from a variety of A-list celebrities – Taylor Lautner, Joe Jonas, Harry Styles, Calvin Harris; we could go on – Selena has displayed to the public that she’s more trusting as a potential girlfriend since she’s more committed (and frankly, who would want to let go of that bombshell?). From her years-long relationships with Justin Bieber to Nick Jonas, Selena has showed us all that she isn’t a girl you want to let go of and she equally remains loyal to her beau of choice. Taylor can’t keep a man, which tells us that the problem may be her. This typically won’t make guys jump at the chance to start up a potential trainwreck of a relationship.

9 She’s Got More Curves

Every man will tell you that a woman with a little meat on her is always a hot bet. While Selena is still slender, she’s not skin and bones like Taylor. Curves are in every man’s best interest, and Selena has proven that she has ‘em and isn’t afraid of showing off those lovely lady lumps. Taylor is looking all kinds of tiny and her body resembles that of a teenage boy, rather than the 27-year-old woman she’s supposed to be. She has zero cushion for the pushin’ and that simply won’t fly for most mature men. The last thing any man wants is to be terrified of breaking her or be in pain from being poked by a protruding rib or hip bone.

8 She Looks Exotic

With Selena’s Italian and Mexican genes, she’s rocking a warmer skin tone and is pairing it with her dark hair, eyes, and full lips. She’s a hot pot that is naturally glowing with extra spice and flavour, which is so damned tempting to men. She’s got an ooh la la quality that makes Taylor super basic in comparison to Selena. It’s also assumed that exotic women are more sensual, passionate, and spontaneous when compared to uptight and prudish white women. Most men classify their taste for the exotic as a fetish, so seeing Selena will get their engines fired up. Honestly, Taylor just doesn’t look like she’s got hotness bred into her like Selena does. And when you’re born with it, the appeal takes no effort whatsoever.

7 She Rocks Red Lipstick Better

There’s no denying that Selena’s lips are way more voluptuous than Tay’s. She’s got a beautiful pout, whereas Taylor has skinny lips that just don’t hold a candle to Selena’s. While Taylor often sports the crimson shade of lipstick, it’s become more of a novelty to wear it rather than it be a colour that works for her. Selena busts out the red lipstick occasionally, but every time she does it looks as if zero thought was put into it. It flawlessly accents her face and super hot self, so much so that we don’t even question its appearance. Not to mention the poise and sophistication she has in rocking that lip shade. Red lipstick is hot, but her confidence is even hotter.

6 She’s A Quadruple Threat

We have to give this girl credit where credit is due. There is nothing quite as hot as woman on top, no pun intended. She’s young and in control of her own life and career path and is mastering the quadfecta of Hollywood talent; singing, dancing, acting, and even producing. For Selena, we wouldn’t be surprised if directing is in her future. With everything she’s done, she’s received praise for her work, from winning the Make-A-Wish Foundation Celebrity Award to the Best Pop Video Award by MTV and even winning best voice for an animated movie at the People’s Choice Awards. Not only that, but her executive produced show 13 Reasons Why is receiving a ton of recognition and success, made possible by her influential power behind the camera. You go, girl!

5 Taylor Is Too Tall

Men are often intimidated by tall women. Even leggy supermodels are scary to men as it makes them feel insecure and overpowered by their dates. With Taylor being 5’11 and Selena measuring in at 5’4, men will easily choose Selena; a woman who is more petite and is easily whisked up in their arms. Males presume that they are meant to be the dominant ones in a relationship, at least in public. Standing next to a woman who is taller than them gives the illusion that the woman is the force behind the relationship. Since the male ego is so delicate, it’s understandable that they would choose Selena for her height over legs for days Taylor. After all, standing next to her would make all his friends jealous instead of scared.

4 She Is A Real Woman

Selena is much more than the teenage girl Taylor portrays herself to be. Selena is all woman, in body, mind, and spirit. She has grown up a lot since her Disney days, while Taylor hasn’t and aims to maintain her almost too youthful style and energy. Selena’s womanhood shines best through her well-executed fashion choices, her confidence, and her maturity. Also, she’s got a body that shows that she’s reached puberty, which is hardly obvious when you first look at Taylor’s frame. Aside from who has the best child-bearing hips (Selena, obvs) the womanly aspect is most noticed by how Selena holds herself. She dresses simply, comfortably, and also knows what’s flattering to her figure. That’s a woman who knows what’s up.

3 She Doesn’t Try Too Hard

While being in the spotlight doesn’t do much for lowering a person’s ego, Selena has remained humble throughout it all. She does her job and isn’t distracted by all the attention and, in fact, when she does notice the admiring fans, she genuinely reaches out to them in displays of gratitude (and she doesn’t even create a PR debacle over it!). She is who she is and doesn’t put on an act, unlike Taylor is is always putting on a show to her groveling audience. Taylor feeds off of the attention and has developed her personality around what they want to see, and not what is true to herself. For men, hotness stems from being down-to-earth and not from being fake.

2 She Wears Short Shorts Better

While we can’t deny that both ladies have killer stems, Taylor just does not bring justice to those short shorts like Selena does. She fills them out without showing any bum cleavage or lower cheek. Those shorts always fit her perfectly, whereas Taylor’s shorties always look loose on her because of her noticeable lack of booty. Men love a woman with some junk in the trunk and find the rear end to be the sexiest of assets on the female body. This desirable feature is so admired by men that even songs are written about them, which for sure makes Selena the hottest of these two singers for her plump derriere. Add the fact that her legs are kickin’ up the heat, we’ll be having to douse the men in ice water to turn down their temperatures.

1 Men Prefer Brunettes

In contrast to the infamous rumours of men preferring blondes, this is not necessarily always the case. According to studies, many men believe blondes to be less sexy when compared to the brown-haired babes, and they would also be less likely marry a blonde. Yikes! Well, maybe Taylor’s inability to hold down a man might be because she’s blonde and is the reason not too many of them like to stick it out with her. Since men statistically find brunettes hotter, than Selena takes top prize in the contest of who’s hot and who’s not when being judged by an all male panel. Maybe it’s the way her dark hair accentuates those flawless facial features and makes her smoldering eyes pop. Either way, those locks have us feeling a little hot and bothered.
