Taylor Swift has told Selena Gomez to surround herself with "better" people.

The 22-year-old singer, who recently split from her on/off boyfriend Justin Bieber, admits the 'Shake It Off' hitmaker, 24, believes she will benefit from ditching people who no longer boost her life and career.

Speaking on 'The Talk,' Selena explained: "She [Taylor] was actually at my house the other day, and we were sitting by the fire and I was talking about relationships and business in my life.

"She just kind of looked at me and was like, 'Selena, if you're the smartest person in the room, I think you're going to be in the wrong room.'

"She thinks I should constantly surround myself with people who are going to make me better, that are going to challenge and motivate me. It kind of stuck to me. I want to surround myself with those people."

However, the 'Come & Get It' hitmaker insists Taylor, who was reportedly against her dating Justin, 20, will always stand by and support her regardless of her choices, whether good or bad, in life.

She added: "She supports me and never judges me."

Meanwhile, relationship advice isn't the only thing Taylor has been giving her pal as she's also been trying to persuade Selena, who recently moved out of her parents' house and into her own property in Los Angeles, to set up home in New York.

Selena said previously: "She's been begging me [to move to New York] every time we get on the phone, because it's been a really good thing for her."
