11 Friendship Lessons You Can Learn From Taylor Swift

Ed Sheeran, Karlie Kloss, Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham… Taylor Swift is basically friends with the entire world. But how does she do it? Here are some tips for being the best friend EVER, from the squad queen herself.

1. Have only good things to say about your friends

Best. Friendship. Ever.

2. Be their biggest fan

Taylor was happier than Lorde was when the “Royals” singer won a VMA.

3. Grab a cold one


Friends who cheers together stay together.

4. Find friends who will do silly things with you…

…and who make you feel comfortable.

If you can’t be yourself around your friends, when can you just be you?

5. Be there for your friends every step of the way


Believe in them and hold their hand when they’re scared.

6. Don’t underestimate the power of a hug…

…or two…

…or three.

Look: It works!

7. When your friends set you up… trust them

If it weren’t for Ellie Goulding, Taylor and Calvin would probably never have met. *shudder*

8. Immortalize all of your memories


Selfie or it didn’t happen.

9. Throw killer house parties


Swans optional.

10. Twin with your bestie


Even if it means wearing matching turtlenecks. (Let’s be real, Taylor and Karlie can pull anything off.)

11. Remember to tell your friends how much you care

Sometimes all they need is a little reminder.
