Taylor Swift's Girl Squad is possibly one of the entertainment industry's most exciting bevvy of beauties. These are ladies who understand girlfriends need each others' support in the dog-eat-dog world out there.
Fans of Taylor have watched the squad evolve over the years and members enter and leave. The group of beauties have never failed to attract media attention. While the squad isn't quite what it used to be, and members don't meet up as frequently as before, they remain close friends. What are the members of the squad up to today? Here's a brief update on her squad members.
12 Ellie Goulding
11
Ellie Goulding and Taylor Swift share a mutual love for music. Taylor invited her to join her on her 1989 tour. She appeared in Taylor's Bad Blood video and was the one who introduced Taylor to beau Calvin Harris, whom Taylor dated for two years.
The friends haven't interacted much in recent years. Ellie is now working on new music, having recently launched her album, Brightest Blue, and is busy with love Caspar Jopling.
10 Karlie Kloss
Having done many things together, including modelling Victoria's Secret fashion on the same stage, Karlie and Taylor were once firm best friends. They did everything together and seemed inseparable.
While the ladies are not seen as much together, they are still close and Karlie is now part of Project Runway, and is involved with youth work, teaching girls how to code (through Kode With Klossy). Karlie's great dream is to uplift other women and use her beauty for a worthy cause.
9 Zendaya
Zendaya and Taylor were good friends at the time Taylor's girl squad starred in her Bad Blood video. However, following this, there was an incident with Kim Kardashian, and Zendaya seems to have favored Kim's tweets. What remains of their friendship is hard to say. While one doesn't want to draw inferences about the friendship, one does hope they will make amends, and put their differences aside.
8 Cara Delevigne
Taylor and Cara have been friends since 2013. Cara is another friend she met at a Victoria's Secret fashion show. They have been spotted hanging out as friends in New York, and Cara has even starred in some of Taylor's music videos.
Cara went into acting after modelling and has made quite a name for herself. Unfortunately, it seems she and Taylor are no longer as close. Her name was missing from Taylor's squad shirt in 2017, but they still remain friends.
7 Lena Dunham
These two friends have constantly supported each other's careers. They met in 2013, at the Grammy's. Lena was one of the squad members who appeared in the movie for Bad Blood. She has since carved a name for herself in the film industry, starring in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood recently. She's also still writing. Like Taylor, she has big aspirations and this is possibly why they are such good friends. Taylor has a deep respect for writers - possibly one of the reasons she so loves Lena. If they put their heads together, they could definitely come up with some great masterpieces.
6 Martha Hunt
Martha Hunt and Taylor first became friends in 2015. They were often spotted hanging out together in New York, where Taylor has an apartment.
Since then, Martha's modelling career has been catapulted forward to new levels, and she remains close friends with Taylor. She's still doing Victoria's Secret fashion shows and is still a favorite snap subject of the local paparazzi.
5 Hailee Steinfeld
Hailee Steinfeld was among those starring in the Bad Blood video, at one stage even walking up onto the stage with other members of Taylor's squad. She's an actress and singer and said she and Taylor didn't spend too much time together but considered each other to be friends. She's focusing her energy now on acting and has been doing well for herself, starring in successful movies, like Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, and Charlie's Angels (2019). She has big hopes for the future, as does Taylor, and for this reason, it's likely they will remain friends - and perhaps even continue to collaborate on projects in the future.
4 Lorde
Taylor and Lorde have been friends since mid-2010. They've even shared the stage together! While they show support for each other on social media, they haven't been spotted together for a few years. Lorde has also been fairly low-key in her music career, since 2017, when she released her album, Melodrama. Still, with a mutual love for music and performance, it's expected the ladies will remain firm friends for years to come - and hopefully will share many more stages together.
3 Gigi Hadid
2
Gigi Hadid and Taylor Swift met in 2014, through their mutual friend Karlie Kloss. Like many of Taylor's friends, she starred in Bad Blood. Since becoming friends, Gigi has since become one of the most recognisable faces in fashion. She is also one of the world's highest-paid models. Still, she remains simple at heart and recently embraced motherhood, when she became Mom a little girl. But Gigi's responsibilities have not stood in the way of their friendship. She and Taylor remain good friends.
1 Lily Aldridge
Lily Aldridge and Taylor Swift became firm friends in 2013, at a Victoria's Secret show - where Taylor made many of her girl squad friends. While Lily continues to be in the limelight, in various modelling campaigns, this has taken a backseat to her job as Mom, and her marriage to husband Caleb Followill. She has put the same heart and zeal into motherhood, as she did in pursuing modelling. She and Taylor were last photographed together in 2018.
