Top 10 Celebs Telling Awesome Stories About Taylor Swift

The “White Lotus” actress is no stranger to having fans come up to her, completely starstruck. However, one she was on the other end of that equation was when she met the “Cruel Summer” singer. She was so excited about finally seeing her in person that the nervous butterflies in her stomach almost got the best of her. Before the big moment, she was stuck between wanting to throw up and having tears streaming down her face. Of course, when Miss Americana saw her like that, she gently embraced her and calmed her down. As it turns out, she had watched her show too!

The supermodel and the music industry’s supergirl have been besties for ages now, and you can bet they’ve helped each other plenty. So it’s no wonder they have lots of great stories to tell about each other. One of the cutest may be how Hadid incorporated things she had learned from Swift for her walk at the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. From making her first appearance on a stage lift, like her BFF’s concert entrances, to waving an ecstatic, charming Swift-style hi to the crowd, she did the singer proud. Swifties everywhere swooned.

If there’s anything Taylor Swift knows how to do — besides making iconic music — it’s winning hearts. When she met actress Emily Blunt and her daughter, Hazel, she did something that left a lasting impression on them both. You see, the little one had been feeling a little self-conscious about her short hair. But you know what cheered her up? Swift complimenting her style! Well, when the fashion icon herself calls you a “cool kid”, you’ve got to believe her! “The Devil Wears Prada” star thought it was the sweetest gesture she, or anyone for that matter, could have made. That’s Taylor for you!

When Taylor Swift and the “High School Musical” phenom co-starred as voice actors in “The Lorax”, two worlds collided. It seemed to birth a friendship, and Efron himself has spoken about the sweet bond. Our favourite story is about how Swift taught him to play guitar when several other coaches could not. Instead of going the technical route, she showed him how to play actual songs right away. One lesson later, the two were playing a duet and singing “Pumped Up Kicks” with improvised lyrics on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”! The Taylor Swift music academy, when?

We know a girls’ girl when we see one. Taylor Swift first met the “Zero Dark Thirty” legend in 2011 at the Met Gala. While she had previously been invited to the fête, it was Chastain’s first time attending. There’s no one better to vent to than the breakup anthem queen herself. And Swift certainly knows a thing or two about shaking off the blues and having a good time. One day later, like a true friend, she sent her a personalized breakup playlist! Anyone know where we can get a link?

They may have started out vying for the same Grammy in 2008, but these two have since developed an unbreakable bond. They were so attached at the hip that when the “Still Into You” crooner had to go through the understandably awkward experience of attending her ex’s nuptials, Swift was right there beside her. Like in a movie about girlhood, the pals ultimately left to hit up Cheesecake Factory. What could have been a disaster ended up as a cherished memory with a dear friend. Williams still gets advice from Swift today, and they remain incredibly close, with Paramore even serving as one of the openers for the historic Eras tour.

Taylor Swift shines even brighter when she shares her light, especially with those who look up to her. When Olivia Rodrigo burst onto the scene with her chart-topping hit “Driver’s License”, her long-time role model, Swift, made sure to acknowledge her success. The music industry veteran sent her a goodie box with a special ring and a handwritten note, which brought the starlet to tears. In the letter, Swift wrote about Rodrigo’s favorite “Long Story Short” lyric and encouraged kindness. As for the ring, she herself owns a diamond version and probably thought it would be cute to twin. We would never get over such an adorable big sis moment.

Leave it to Taylor Swift to plan a good prank. On the road to becoming one of the greatest musicians ever, she opened for Keith Urban on his Escape Together World Tour. After a successful run of performances, Swift decided to play a practical joke on the country singer during his last show in Kansas City. While he was singing his heart out on stage, he spotted her and her band dressed up as Kiss. Talking about the moment on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, he revealed Swift practically looked more like Ace Frehley than the guitarist himself!

Swifties and “Frozen” fans united when the multi-Grammy winner invited Idina Menzel, a.k.a Elsa, to sing “Let It Go” during her “1989” tour. While it was certainly special for fans, Menzel described it as “an out of body experience”. Speaking with Ellen DeGeneres, she revealed Swift letting her come up to the stage on the elevator platform was a dream come true. She had always seen Queen Bey use such risers, which, to her, signified diva status. While Menzel is undoubtedly a diva in her own right, she credits Taylor for making her feel that way.

The “Bad Romance” singer has made a name for herself with not just her outstanding artistry, but also her unapologetic honesty.

However one day, her stylist, who was working with Swift, told her that the “All Too Well” singer was on set jamming to “Artpop.” Needless to say, Gaga was impressed with her genuineness. She has constantly supported Taylor since.
