Taylor Swift

Though Taylor Swift and her buddies may be our definition of #squadgoals, not everyone feels the same away about being a member of the exclusive group. 

And one person who has no desire to join in on the girl-fun is outspoken actress, Chloe Grace Moretz. 

In an interview with Complex magazine, the 19-year-old revealed that she had recently turned down an invitation to join forces with Tay and her minions. 

"They appropriate exclusivity. They're cliques!" said the star. 

Being friends with Selena Gomez, the actress had been introduced to the Bad Blood singer and even invited to hang-out with the squad but she politely declined. 

The star refused to say anything else about Taylor and her expertly crafted squad. simply ending the topic with: "She's a very talented person." 

Ooh, do we detect a bit of shade? 

The young Kick Ass actress is getting a name for herself by being unafraid to speak her mind, even if it lands her in hot water. 

Most recently, Chloe called out Kim Kardashian for publishing her now infamous naked selfie, encouraging her to not teach girls that their only value lies in their bodies. 

However, Kim retaliated and a lot of celebrities got in on the action too. Despite receiving quite a bit of backlash, we have a lot of respect for Chloe who is obviously going to continue to speak her mind regardless.

Deserted tropical beaches, sea trampolines, private jet skis and of course being holed up on an island with your hunky beau; yep, Taylor Swift is currently on our dream holiday. 

It seems that Tay has decided to treat her boyfriend Calvin Harris to a fun-filled vacay which coincides with their one-year anniversary last week. 

Calvin may have given her a personalised locket for the occasion, but we reckon a holiday to literal paradise is going down a treat as well. 

The pair have been sharing snaps from their little slice of heaven on Instagram which includes a lot of bikini snaps and even more PDA. 

But don't think they are just lounging on the beach, the pair have also been keeping active with excursions on jet skis and having a bounce on a SEA trampoline (which we didn't even know existed).

 

That time when we finally took a vacation. @calvinharris

To mark the occasion, Calvin bought his popstar bae a gold locket on a long chain inscribed with the date they got together and let's just say Taylor pretty much hasn't taken it off since. 

So just in case you though your hump day couldn't get any worse, just think of what Taylor Swift is probably up to right now.

It seems that Taylor Swift has been trumped in the social media stakes and by a member of her own squad no less. 

That's gotta hurt. 

Yep, pop star and Taylor's BFF Selena Gomez has just pipped Tay to the post this week by stealing her crown of the most-followed person on Instagram.

While Taylor is sitting pretty at 69.2 million followers, Selena just edged up to 69.5 at the time of writing making her the most popular person on the photo-sharing app. 

And we can't say we are super surprised. 

Taylor may have to a large fan-base, but the Hands to Myself singer is much more active on the platform consistently posting a hearty mix of personal and work photos as well as her amazing style. 

Despite winning the social media stakes, Selena has admitted in a recent radio interview that she would love to do a proper collaboration with her pal. 

"The opportunity has always been there and I think she is one of the most talented songwriters I have ever met. I don't know – I would want it to be a moment but we'll see." 

Meanwhile other Instagram queens such as Kim Kardashian remain well behind on 63.6 million followers while sister Kylie is on a respectable 54.3.

Taylor Swift already has #SquadGoals down to a fine art, but over the weekend she thought it was time to show off her #SiblingGoals.

On Friday, it was her brother Austin's 24th birthday and Taylor took to Instagram to celebrate.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN!!!!! Thanks for 24 years of LOLs. @austinkingsleyswift

Posting a super cute throwback snap, Tay captioned the pic: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN!!!!! Thanks for 24 years of LOLs. @austinkingsleyswift"

It was nearly as cute as when Austin threw out his Yeezy's to support his sister in her spat with Kanye.

 

Getting a head start on some spring cleaning. Here we go again.

Can you believe it's only been a year since Calvin Harris and pop royalty Taylor Swift became an official thing?

With their awards show PDA's and social media adoration, we feel like these two have been together forever. 

And things seem to be still going strong between the pair as they recently celebrated a whole twelve months of being all together and in love and stuff. 

 

3.6.15 One year down!

A photo posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

Taylor took to Instagram to share a picture of a gold locked inscribed with the date the couple got together and revealed it to be from her doting partner. 

And the 25-year-old has literally not been seen without it since. 

Just this week Taylor was spotted sporting the long gold chain while out in Los Angeles. 

The impressively tall couple found love after being set up by mutual friend, Ellie Goulding. 

They have been pretty inseparable ever since having spent the Christmas period with each other's families.

If you find Taylor Swift unbearable at the best of times, then you will likely expire over the comments she wrote as a teen. 

However, we can see a lot of ourselves in Tay's early days on social media. 

Buzzfeed uncovered what is believed to have been Taylor's MySpace page from back when she was just a young country singer with big hair and big dreams. 

The profile has been swiftly (*lol*) deleted, but we still have all the best bits proving that Tay as a teen was just as cringey on social media as the rest of us: 

When you had very few options for your profile pic

Tay's first profiler was one of her showing off her 'spelling bee champion' t-shirt. 

Cool. 

When you could not deal with any pictures your friends uploaded of you 

"THAT IS SICK TAKE IT DOWN."

"I want it off NOW.

"but I loove you."

Passive aggressive Taylor is the best.

When it was okay to get deep on the internet 

Yes, this was written by the same lyrical genius that wrote Blank Space. 

When you could be publicly weird with your friends and did not care 

"Well, anyway, listen my queer fellow. I thinketh we shall hangeth out sometime soon."

Before social media was all about being to coolest version of yourself 

When affection for your pals could have been misconstrued for actual stalking 

Hey pal, if you're looking for me I'm in the white van outside your house… 

And finally when you and your BFF's inside jokes just looked downright absurd 

Because f*ck sewing machines, am I right?

It's been one whole year since Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift became an item – and Calvin certainly pulled out all the stops for her anniversary gift.

The DJ took to Snapchat yesterday to share a short clip of their day together, and it's just the cutest thing ever.

In the video, Calvin shows us a chocolate cake with the words "1 year" iced onto it and two love hearts.

The 32-year-old can be heard saying, "One year, we got one-year cake!" Cuteeee.

A few hours later, Taylor took to Instagram to show off the gift Calvin got her – and all we can say is wow.

A heart-shaped locket engraved with the date they started their relationship.

It really doesn't get much sweeter than that!

You would think that celebrity couple of the moment, Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift would already have a collaboration track out already, but as it turns out, that's far from Calvin's mind.

The Sun reports that a collaboration was brought to the table, but Calvin "politely declined."

The super-producer has worked with the likes of Cheryl F-V, Rita Ora and Rihanna, but he's stopping when it comes to his girlfriend.

A source told the newspaper: "Calvin's next single is ready but the label is keen for him to get a big female US star to collaborate on it. They know he attracts amazing names because everyone wants to work with him.”

They added: "They floated the idea of him working with Taylor but he politely declined it."

It seems that Calvin doesn't want to go near the territory as things ended badly with his previous collaborator and ex-girlfriend, Rita Ora.

We'd say Taylor isn't used to hearing 'no', but if it's for their relationship, Calvin is making the right choice.

She might count Lorde, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and Lena Dunham amongst her besties, but the very first member of Taylor's squad was her childhood friend Britany Maack.

The pair have known each other since they were just a couple of weeks old, and so it was inevitable that Taylor would step up to the plate as Britany's maid of honour last month in Philadelphia, with both of them clad in custom Reem Acra courtesy of Tay.

Some luck (or Taylor-approved planning) with the wedding date meant that Tay was long finished with her world tour and so was able to head to Philly for the rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception.

So there's more than a few sightings of her in the 11-minute wedding video, which Britany shared yesterday. And there are definitely a few nuggets of info that we didn't know until now.

That Taylor performed at the reception for example:

Or that she partied 'til the wee hours on the dancefloor:

Or, most touchingly, that she made a super-cheesy but super-lovely maid of honour speech on the day. The video features some clips from the speech, which – if Britany and her husband Ben's reactions were anything to go by – went down a treat.

"He [Ben] would chase her, and pursue her through middle school and junior high and high school," she said of the happy couple. 

"And their paths would diverge, and then come back together, and it would be so magically unpredictable but at the same time, so incredibly fated, just like the best love stories are."

She also made reference to the fact that her life has gone down a drastically different path than Britany's has, but added that their friendship has always endured.

"Everything in my life has changed except for me and Britany.

"She was my partner in crime at Brownies sleepaway camp, and she was my date to the Grammys."

Too cute. Watch the video in full here:

It has been a bit of a roller-coaster few days for Demi Lovato who has been faced with the full wrath of Taylor Swift fans the world over. 

While Taylor has managed to stay mum on the whole situation, Demi has been anything but quiet. 

It all began when Demi ousted Taylor for not speaking out about Kesha's ongoing court battle considering she describes herself as a feminist. 

And it seemed that Taylor got the message loud and clear as she donated around 225 thousand euro to Kesha's legal fund the day after the comment was made. 

However, Demi was of course was still not at all impressed by the gesture.  

Having received ongoing grief from Taylor fans, she was so angered that she even defended herself in the comments section of a Taylor fan on Instagram. 

"Not everyone has 250k to just give to people. At least I speak up about sh*t that’s uncomfortable to talk about rather than trying to be politically correct 24/7.

"There’s no ’rivalry’ I just give more f*cks than other people and would rather start a dialogue ABOUT WOMEN COMING FORWARD ABOUT BEING RAPED than throw money at one person."

 

As most people know, I tend to get fired up about the things I believe in, and although my heart and intentions are always in the right place, unfortunately sometimes my passion gets the best of me and causes me to say things that I probably shouldn't say. And when doing so it takes away from the real reason I am speaking up in the first place. Our focus should be on the topic of victims of sexual and physical abuse being afraid to come forward with their stories. They're more likely to face retaliation and harassment than to see justice being served. Especially women. It baffles me that when it comes to serious issues like equality and abuse, too often women are not taken as seriously as men. All I want to see is women coming together and actually making a difference. A real change and shift in society. Everyone has their own way of giving support to others , and at the end of the day, helping victims is all that matters. Ultimately, the message I want people to hear is it's okay to come forward with your abuse and if you do decide to take action, you are not alone.

"I didn’t shade Taylor. If you take it that way than fine. I’m just tired of seeing women use ‘women empowerment’ and ‘feminism’ to further brands without actually being the ones that have the uncomfortable conversations.

"I get shade and I don’t give a fuck because someone has to be the one to take it. At least I’m getting my hands dirty."

Demi took to Instagram again last night to post an image of visualised rape statistics as she tried to make the conversation about rape victims rather than a Taylor/ Demi feud.

Female celebrities have been taking to social media in their droves to offer support to singer Kesha, who is currently locked in a legal battle with her record company, Sony – and in tuyrn her former producer Dr. Luke.

One star in particular – Taylor Swift – took her support one step further and quietly donated a whopping €225,000 towards her court fees.

While Kesha's own mother was quick to thank T-Swift for her large donation, not everyone was quite so happy with the singer's decision.

Demi Lovato took to Twitter minutes after the news broke, hitting back at Taylor's decision to donate rather than publicly speak out about Kesha's claims that Dr Luke abused his professional relationship her drugging and raping her shortly after her 18th birthday. 

"'Take something to Capitol Hill or actually speak out about something and then I'll be impressed," she wrote.

In a series of now-deleted tweets, Demi went on to defend herself against the (unsurprising) wrath of Taylor's fans, one of whom accused her of making the drama about herself.

"How the f**k am I making this about myself? At least I'm talking about it," she replied.

"Not everyone has 250k to just give to people. Would love to but I didn't grow up with money and def haven't made as much as her. At least I speak up about s*** that's uncomfortable to talk about rather than trying to be politically correct 24/7.

"There's no "rivalry" I just give more f**ks than other people and would rather start a dialogue ABOUT WOMEN COMING FORWARD ABOUT BEING RAPED than throw money at one person."

Ouch. As yet there's no word from Taylor on this, but we reckon she'll be taking the high road and staying silent.

A number of high profile celebs have come forward to support Kesha on social media after her tragic court ruling last Friday.

And while most of her supporters are hashtagging and supporting her with kind words, Taylor Swift decided to do something a bit different.

The singer was called out for not raising her voice, but Tay did much more than that – she donated $250,000 (€225,000) towards her legal fees.

"In a show of support, Taylor Swift has donated $250,000 to Kesha to help with any of her financial needs during this trying time," a spokesperson told E! News.

Last night, Kesha's mother even spoke out to thank Taylor, saying, "Taylor Swift has just generously donated $250,000 to Kesha, as a show of support during this difficult time. AMAZING!!" she tweeted.

So, is Taylor some sort of angel? We beginning to think so.
