Drop everything, now. Fresh off her reported split from Joe Alwyn, Taylor Swift was photographed in New York City on Thursday in a formation that’s instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with her lore: She is, once again, surrounded by her squad.
Swift was seen strutting down the sidewalk alongside an enviable sampling of her gorgeous, famous friends: the Haim sisters (Danielle, Este, and Alana), model Gigi Hadid, and actress Blake Lively.
In other words, these aren’t merely acquaintances. These are intimates. This is a girl squad. Not a big deal, right? Wrong.
