Celebrities Support Selena Gomez After Her Emotional AMAs Speech
Everyone from Taylor Swift to Lady Gaga reached out.

Selena Gomez made a surprise appearance at the American Music Awards last night after being out of the spotlight for months, and her speech was incredibly emotional. "I had to stop," Gomez said of quitting her tour. "Because I had everything, and I was absolutely broken inside. And I kept it all together enough to where I would never let you down, but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down."
Selena's gaggle of celebrity friends (or squad, if you will) were quick to offer support on social media and in person, and we've rounded up the sweet moments below.
