Taylor Swift

This month Vanity Fair have given Taylor Swift the title ‘Captain of the #GirlSquad’ as she features on the magazine’s cover.

As she’s travelled around the globe for her 1989 tour, there has been one trend the public can’t help but notice. Taylor has an awful lot of famous friends, and she loves inviting them on stage with her.

Her posse of female celebs is, according to Tay-Tay herself, “so much more important than some guy that it didn't work out with.”

She has revealed however that there are girls in the group who share more than a love of onesies and Taylor’s company, admitting “We even have girls in our group who have dated the same people.”

We thought so. Taylor went on to say that instead of their shared love lives generating some awkward moments for the gang, she thinks they have more important things to worry about.

“Now more than ever we need to be good and kind to each other and not judge each other – and just because you have the same taste in men, we don’t hold that against each other.” The Bad Blood singer counts Karlie Kloss, Lena Dunham, Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez and tennis superstar Serena Williams as some of the many who have joined her on tour this year.

She also said that when it came to addressing her issues with tech giant Apple, her mom was the person whose opinion she valued most.

She said she told her: "I’m really scared of this letter, but I had to write it. I might not post it, but I had to say it."  

Taylor revealed she relaxed her attitude towards love and dating in the last couple of years saying, “If I found someone who would never try to change me that would be the only person I could fall in love with.”

Considering her and Calvin Harris seemed more loved up than ever celebrating BFF Karlie Kloss’ birthday together it looks like the laid-back approach worked out.

She’s the Oscar-winner who absolutely refuses to diet for Hollywood.

But, as Jennifer Lawrence proved this week, her bikini bod is probably about as close to perfection as we can imagine.

Hanging out with new BFF Amy Schumer, the pair are currently enjoying a girlie holiday away.

And in a telling Instagram snap posted yesterday to 35-year-old Amy’s account, Ms Lawrence, 24, shows once again that she is in the best shape of her life.

Creating a human pyramid with a group of ten women on board a boat, Jen can be seen at the top of the pile.

Donning a chic €275 Mara Hoffman bikini, the actress has her arms in the air – displaying off her toned tum to perfection.

Earlier on the same day, and using the hashtag #manic, Amy had posted a photo of J-Law driving a jet ski – while Ms Schumer herself rides seemingly terrified on the back.

Meanwhile, a third, earlier snap shows the same group of vacationers lounging on lie-lows in the sea.

Naturally, it didn’t take long for fans to suggest a creative Lawrence-Schumer collaboration – but as yet, there is no confirmation that the pair have anything in the pipeline.

Still, we're totally loving this celebrity friendship and reckon their profile will rival Tay-Tay Swift's squad and the Jenner-Hadid crew before long.

And despite boasting the type of figure that most women would kill for, Jennifer is a vocal opponent of the pressures and expectation young females face.

Indeed, in November 2013 in the aftermath of her Oscar success for Silver Linings Playbook (she also has two other Academy Award nominations), Jen explained: "There are shows like The Fashion Police that are just showing these generations of young people to judge people based on all the wrong values and that it's OK to point at people and call them ugly or fat."

She added: "We have to stop treating each other like that and stop calling each other fat."

As one of the world's top models at the moment, with a brand new campaign for Topshop under her belt, we reckon Gigi Hadid knows she can look good wearing just about anything.

So she probably wasn't too bothered by the fact that paps caught her leaving her boyfriend Joe Jonas' house in Los Angeles this week looking like she was in need of a good night's sleep.

The 20-year-old model emerged from Joe's home, a $2.6m mansion in the Sunset Square area of Hollywood, and kissed her boyfriend goodbye before heading to her car.

Wearing a pair of black denim shorts, beige Hardy Design Works sandals and a knotted sky blue t-shirt that appeared to be one of Joe's, the blonde model was clearly going for a low-key look. With a make-up free face and bedhead hair, Gigi looked younger than her 20 years as stepped out into the morning sunlight.

Joe and Gigi only went public with their relationship earlier this year, but it's thought they first began dating last September, while the model was on a date from her pop star boyfriend Cody Simpson. And Gigi is clearly a fan of the Jonas clan, as she also dated Joe's brother Nick on-and-off back in 2012 and 2013.

The lovebirds are both close friends of Taylor Swift, and have been spotted on various double dates with the Shake It Off Singer and her man Calvin Harris… including this one in London last month, with Karlie Kloss looking delighted to be fifth wheel for the day:

While she doesn't have her own pad in Los Angeles, Gigi is never short of a place to stay, as both her boyfriend and her family live in the area.

The model grew up in a plush $27.5m Malibu Mansion with her mum, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster. However Yolanda swapped the lavish six-bedroom house for a smaller abode last year following a long battle with Lyme Disease which saw her unable to maintain the house.

Gigi already has her own apartment in New York, but with her romance with LA-based Joe getting more serious by the day, could a second home be on the cards?

When we first met Calvin Harris back in 2007, he was a scrawny and scruffy brown-haired DJ with a very questionable set of teeth.

But after disappearing from the spotlight for a while, he re-emerged last year as the face (and body) of Armani, with a downright incredible set of abs… and a new set of pearly whites by the looks of it.

Now the reinvented Scot divides his time between New York, Las Vegas and LA as he hangs out with girlfriend Taylor Swift in between DJ gigs. With an high-earning lifestyle and an enviable image these days, Calvin would be forgiven for wanting to leave his past behind him, but he took to Instagram today to post a VERY down to earth throwback.

 

A photo posted by Calvin Harris (@calvinharris) on

Sharing a picture of a much younger and less preened Calvin about to down a Jagerbomb with his friend, the DJ poked some fun at his former self by writing, "ME AND IRV IN JUMPIN JAKS DUMFRIES 2002 LOOKING FUCKING FANTASTIC #SCOTLAND#LIFE #IRV #LEGEND."

While it's fair to assume that a hefty amount of styling and dental work went into Calvin's new image, a lot of the transformation is down to a rigorous diet and fitness regime. The DJ rarely drinks and is said to be addicted to his abs roller, which he whips out whenever he has a spare few minutes.

"Staying in a gym routine while on the road is tricky, but as long as you don't drink, eat well, sleep enough and take one of those mad little ab rollers with u everywhere you'll be good," he wrote on Instagram recently, posting a seflie ahead of his next Armani shoot.

And it seems Calvin chose wisely when he started dating Taylor, as he has since admitted that her culinary skills are one of the qualities he values most in her. "It's really ridiculous but yeah she does an incredible barbeque and she's generally an incredible cook and human being," he told radio station Key 103 earlier this month, adding that he was "insanely happy."

Bet he misses the Jagerbombs though…

It's been over two weeks since model Jaime King welcomed her second son into the world, and we've finally been given a first look at the newborn… courtesy of Taylor Swift.

As Jaime's long-time bestie, Taylor was the perfect choice for godmother, and her duties so far include sharing the first picture of little Leo Thames with the world. Taking to Instagram last night to give her 39.7m followers a peek at her new godson, Taylor already seemed smitten.

"Meeting my boy," she wrote, posting a picture of herself and Jaime looking down at little Leo.

Jaime and her husband Kyle Newman soon followed suit and reposted Taylor's picture to their own Instagram accounts, with Jaime saying the meeting was "bliss" and Kyle writing, "The sweetest love. Leo Thames w Momma & God Momma."

Taylor also shared a gorgeous snap of Leo's tiny hand clutching hers, with her gold-painted fingernails clearly visible. "Your little hand's wrapped around my finger and it's so quiet in the world tonight…" she wrote, quoting a line from her single Never Grow Up.

Jaime first revealed she was expecting a sibling for her toddler son James Knight back in February, posting a brilliant picture of James blowing bubbles next a sign that read, "I'm gonna be a big brother! Who da boss now, I'm so excited!!!!"

Weeks later Taylor confirmed she was to be godmother to the new arrival.

We wonder if one of the perks of being T-Swift's godson is free tickets to every concert? If so, Leo's a lucky boy…

It's been over year since Taylor Swift moved into her sprawling seven-bedroom apartment in New York's trendy Tribeca district, and we've been dying for a peek inside ever since.

The Shake It Off singer purchased the luxe penthouse for a supposed $15 million (€13.5m) in 2014, after taking it off the hands of film director Peter Jackson. She also dropped another $5 million (€4.5m) on the unit next door to house her security crew.

We've seen a few shots of the house via Taylor's Instagram, but a new spread in Teen Vogue gave us an even more detailed look at the pad.

Let's start with the outside – Taylor might have the top floor but this building also houses Orlando Bloom and Steven Soderbergh among others. Do they mind the constant paparazzi  and fan presence? "Most of the neighbours know what's what by now," Taylor's doorman Jimmy told Rolling Stone last year.

Inside, there's lots of red brick, wood panelling and a gorgeous blue baby grand piano:

Here's the main living area:

Of course, avid Taylor fans will recognise this room from previous hangouts with Taylor's pals Karlie Kloss and Gigi Hadid.

According to Rolling Stone, one of the guest bedrooms is often taken over by Karlie for sleepovers. "There's a basket of Kloss's favorite Whole Foods treats next to the bed, and multiple photos of her on the walls," the magazine revealed in a feature last year.

Moving on to the kitchen, which is a huge brightly lit space with a large marble countertop, perfect for baking and other Taylor-approved activities.

The open-plan kitchen is another of Taylor's favourite spots for celeb hangouts:

Other features include a roof garden, which has seen many an outdoor picnic with the singer and her bestie Lena Dunham.

And of course the pool table, which Taylor says "always has cat hair on it":

WOW. Please invite us over, Tay…

Well, as if we weren’t feeling a touch jealous of Tay-Tay herself already, her new love has to go and do this. We’re having a tough time concentrating after these photos caught our eye.

Not only is he the world’s highest paid DJ and boyfriend of the uber-famous Taylor Swift, now Calvin Harris has landed himself an Emporio Armani modelling campaign.

He really is the complete package! Pun absolutely intended. He is a very impressive male model.

In the brand’s 2015 Autumn campaign Calvin appears to have (dare we say it) out done former model David Beckham in the chiselled department. Just look at those abs!

The Scottish native has been making heads turn for quite a while now but he seems to have taken it to a whole new level in this latest set of photos.

The 31-year old has appeared for the brand before. Earlier this year he was featured, in all his glory, in their steamy spring campaign.

According to Giorgo Armani, "Calvin Harris is a truly cosmopolitan, dynamic young man who is capable of attracting the masses with his music and energy."

They went on to say: "He isn't a model by nature, and this creates a more sincere and engaging bond with the public."

We think that he certainly looks like he’s got the whole modelling thing down. Those close-ups , even when he is fully clothed, are certainly appealing in their own right.

Quite the talented individual he is. Shall we just admit now then? That Taylor Swift is a very lucky lady? We think so.

It is widely known at this stage, that Taylor Swift and Katy Perry have this outrageous on going feud, and it has even been said that Taylor's song 'bad blood' is about the singer. 

We're not even fully sure what the drama is all about, but it has been reported that it all started when Katy stole back up dancers from Taylor. 

Our real question is why were the dancers so eager to leave Taylor for Katy? But that's for another day. 

Nicki Minaj also got involved as her and Taylor exchanged words over Twitter, Taylor apologised and the gals made friends again, but it doesn't seem the same is true for Taylor and Katy. 

During her performance of Bad Blood at a concert in Massachusetts over the weekend, Taylor was joined on stage by a very special guest… Left shark!

Katy famously danced with two sharks at the super bowl last year, and the guy on the left gained serious popularity as he was spotted getting his dance moves wrong. 

Well Taylor just threw some serious shade at Katy being joined by a shark on stage at her gig but fans thought it was immature. 

Some people would rather they just had it out and got it over with already… 

According to some, it was just down right childish… 

While others didn't take it too seriously and saw the funny side…

The internet was left agog earlier this week when Taylor Swift got her claws out after a misunderstanding with fellow pop star Nicki Minaj… but now it looks like she has finally done the unthinkable and backed down. 

Taking to Twitter just a few minutes ago, Taylor offered up an apology to Nicki, saying, "I thought I was being called out. I missed the point, I misunderstood, then misspoke. I'm sorry, Nicki."

We never thought we'd see that happen, but Nicki was quick to graciously respond, saying, "Everyone makes mistakes."

The short-lived feud kicked off on Monday night when Nicki tweeted her disappointment about not getting a VMA Best Video nomination for her song Feeling Myself. "If I was a different "kind" of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well," she wrote. "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year."

Although the tweets were more of a comment about how racial bias still prevails in the music industry, Taylor took it as a personal slight on her own video for Bad Blood.

"I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.." she wrote at the time.

Since then, both Taylor's enemy Katy Perry AND her bestie Ed Sheeran have both weighed in on the messy Twitter war. With Katy accusing the Blank Space singer of "capitalizing on the takedown of a woman" and Ed defending her to the Daily Telegraph by saying she had done "nothing wrong," this feud has definitely brought about some very mixed opinions.

Now, to wait for Nicki's response to that grovelling apology…

It’s the feud that has engrossed us all – and now that Katy Perry (AND inadvertently, Rihanna) have chipped in too… things have just got a whole lot better.

Following on from yesterday’s explosive social media battle between Tay-Tay Swift and a seemingly snubbed Ms Minaj, yet more A-listers have been adding in their tuppence worth.

And leading the onslaught is certainly Ms Perry, who seriously got the claws out when she accused her former BFF (and now arch nemesis) Taylor of capitalising “on the takedown of a woman”.

Tweeting to her 73million followers, the 30-year-old stated: “Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman…”

OUCH!

She also then dragged Rihanna, 27, into the dispute, saying the real VMA nominations travesty was that the Barbadian singer’s controversial Bi**h Better Have My Money video wasn’t eligible this year, having only been released recently.

It has long been rumoured that 25-year-old Ms Swift’s hit Bad Blood single was a less-than subtle dig at Katy over unresolved personal issues between the two.

And last September Taylor also said in an interview with Rolling Stone the song was about a female musician and “straight-up enemy”.

Katy furthermore appeared to call her one-time friend a “Regina George in sheep's clothing” on social media.

The feud reportedly ignited when three of Taylor's dancers quit to go work for Katy on her massive world tour, with Swifty explaining in the same Rolling Stone interview: “She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour.

She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me.”

The pair have also both at one time or another dated Hollywood player, John Mayer.

As we reported earlier, Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj have clashed over tweets that Nicki posted about the VMA nominations.

And the reactions from other celebrities have been absolutely hysterical.

Firstly, Kim Kardashian hilariously (and accidentally) got caught up in the action when she was tweeting pictures of herself from the Vogue Spain photoshoot.

When she captioned one of the pictures “Imma let you finish but…” fans quickly assumed that Kim was throwing a dig at Taylor and referencing the time Kanye interrupted Taylor’s 2009 VMA acceptance speech.

When Kim realised what she had done, she took to Twitter to explain herself.

And in a slightly more deliberate fashion, Bruno Mars also decided to get in on the action when he mocked Taylor and Nicki by creating his own VMA themed Twitter feud with Ed Sheeran.

Ed obviously saw the funny side of the joke, tweeting Bruno back saying, “@BrunoMars any way we do dis you gon’ come up short”.
