Stars Who Are No Longer In Taylor Swift's Squad

Publish date: 2024-05-02

The origin story of Taylor Swift's squad likely starts with Selena Gomez and the Jonas Brothers. Back in 2008, Swift briefly dated Joe Jonas, while Gomez went out with Nick Jonas. "We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together," Gomez joked with KISS FM UK on how she first met Swift. "... We just clicked. It was the best thing we got out of those relationships." 

As the years went on, Swift slowly befriended other big name stars, like Emma Stone, Ed Sheeran, Karlie Kloss, and Lena Dunham — often through Twitter, Cosmopolitan reports. The singer-songwriter not-so-secretly used her music to give a shout out to her newfound besties. For example, the liner notes on her 2012 album, Red, said, "ASHLEY DIANNA CLAIRE SELENA." According to Vulture, this was in reference to Swift's stylist Ashley Avignone, Dianna Agron from Glee, "her hometown BFF Claire Winter Kislinger," and Gomez herself. The following year, Swift performed at the Victoria's Secret fashion show — and expanded her inner circle with supermodels Cara Delevingne, Lily Aldridge, and Martha Hunt. Then came model Gigi Hadid and musicians Lorde, the Haim sisters, and Camila Cabello. 

Meanwhile, longtime buddy Katy Perry and Swift started their very public feud. As a result, Swift allegedly wrote the song "Bad Blood" about Perry, and invited a ton of her friends — many from her squad — to cameo as femme fatale alter egos in the 2015 music video ... including Gomez in a very Perry-style wig.
