For a boyfriend from your youth to leave his mark on you is the most normal thing in the world. But having two of your best friends in adult life be linked to that ex is even stranger. That's what happens to singer Taylor Swift with two of her besties (a diminutive of best friend): Selena Gomez and Sophie Turner.
It was 2008, when a very young 18-year-old Swift began dating Joe Jonas, who would end up becoming Sophie Turner's husband; At the same time, Selena, who was 16, was the girlfriend of another of the Jonas Brothers, Nick, now married to Priyanka Chopra. That “sister-in-law” relationship lasted just three months, but that bond became indestructible with the passage of time.
More unusual is the friendship between Taylor and Sophie, which has strengthened since the Game of Thrones actress split from the Pennsylvania singer's ex-boyfriend. Taylor, 34, even offered her Tribeca apartment to Sophie so she could move in with the two daughters she had with the singer.
The alliances that the Cruel Summer interpreter has forged confirm the power of support between women in the competitive world of American entertainment. Among those talented friends is also the actress Emma Stone. They have known each other for more than 15 years.
In the last photos that Taylor shared from her birthday, on December 13, actress Zoë Kravitz can be seen holding the cake with candles. In another image, she poses with Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid, two other members of the super gang.
Cara Delevingne, Lena Dunham, Sabrina Carpenter and Keleigh Sperry are also part of the inner circle. It is common to see all of them posing together, going out to dinner, holding hands, and recently going to stadiums to watch her boyfriend's football games, Travis Kelce. Thanks also to this courtship, the singer is making new friends who are already part of her intimate core. This is the case of Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Katy Perry, Demi Lovato and Nicki Minaj went from friends to enemies, and although they were at odds for a while, they were able to make peace with Taylor and regain at least cordiality. Some of her declared enemies did not suffer the same fate. The most notable are Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber and producer Scooter Braun, who bought Swift's entire discography, forcing her to re-record all of her music with a new label. As she once said, “All my enemies started out as my friends.” Well be careful.
