We wonder how many times Taylor Swift's hit tune "22" has been played on repeat today...because it's Selena Gomez's birthday! 

The "Come and Get It" cutie is ringing in the big 2-2 today, and no surprise, she kicked off her special day in a pretty epic way. 

Gomez officially turned 22 in St. Tropez, where she was spotted enjoying a parasailing ride with her new BFF Cara Delevingne in addition to another pal. 

The brunette beauty and the 21-year-old supermodel, who have been spotted living it up in the Mediterranean this week, both wore shades as they flew high above the water, appearing relaxed and comfortable during their adventure.

While the Spring Breakers star has been logging quality time with her new bestie as of late, the singer also received a b-day shout out from Taylor Swift, who took to Instagram to send well wishes to her pal. 

"Usually this S represents 'Swift' but today I'm wearing it because SELENA IS 22!!!!" she captioned the sweet pic in which she's flashing a subtle smile (complete with red lipstick, of course) as she shows off her Selena-inspired swag. 

No word yet how Gomez plans to spend the rest of her day, but if her recent outings are any indication, she'll definitely be celebrating in style. 

The former Disney darling was spotted flaunting off her killer figure in a white one-piece swimsuit while soaking up the sun on a luxury yacht with Delevingne earlier this week, and the two enjoyed a helicopter ride with pals high above the Mediterranean later in the afternoon.

Prior to her trip to St. Tropez, Selena turned heads in Italy at the Ischia Global Festival, where she showed off her bangin' bod in a number of revealing ensembles. 

Although the hitmaker has yet to take to social media today to thank fans for the b-day love, we have a strong hunch she'll be posting a thoughtful Instagram, dedicated to her loyal Selenators. 

To which we say: Happy Birthday, Selena!
