Selena Gomez helps Justin Bieber punk Taylor Swift

Selena Gomez was apparently key in helping Justin Bieber punk Taylor Swift.

On the first episode of the new series of Punk’d it has been reported that we will see new host Justin (who has taken over from Ashton Kutcher) prank his friend Taylor.

“Justin called Taylor Swift and asked if she would come over to his beach house and help him write a song for Selena Gomez. Taylor agreed and even asked him to open for her at her show that night at the Staples Center!” an insider told Hollywoodlife.com.

Justin then apparently talks Miss Swift into lighting some fireworks, which hit a boat off-shore and cause a “wedding party” (actors) to have to swim to safety and accuse Taylor of ruining their special day.

“Taylor didn’t start crying but was very freaked out and was like ‘OMG IM SO SORRY’! Justin was trying to downplay the situation, When he said she’d been punk’d she started laughing and said, ‘How could you do this to me?!’” the source revealed.
