9 Reasons Taylor Swift Is the Best Celebrity Friend Ever

There’s a reason Taylor Swift has so many super famous besties. She counts cool girls like Hailee Steinfeld, Selena Gomez, and Lorde among her closest pals because she’s such a top-notch partner-in-crime herself.

So how does a superstar who’s constantly jetting around the world, singing on stages, recording hit singles, and making it all look so easy (not to mention so stylish!) find time to host elaborate girls nights, bake homemade treats that would make Martha Stewart jealous, and throw elaborate birthday celebrations for all her BFFs?

She recently said that, busy schedules aside, she tries to make as much time for her friends as possible—and those who follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Vine know that she’s pretty successful at doing just that.

So maybe you can’t fly your far-flung gal pal across the country for the weekend, but Tay’s sure to inspire you to be a better friend. Let us count the ways she rocks:

Bad day? She’ll bake for you.

When she’s not performing in front of millions of screaming fans, Taylor Swift is probably baking cookies, and she bakes a lot, so they will be the kind of day-making cookies—handmade with lots of ʙuттer and love—that you can’t find just anywhere. Even better? She’ll probably put you on frosting duty and give you a matching apron.

She’ll never forget your birthday.

And she’ll make it the best birthday ever. From frilly dresses to flower hairpieces to fancy desserts, Taylor thinks of everything.

Her personal style will inevitably rub off on you. And you’ll like it.

There’s a certain kind of friend who’ll make you go home and change if you show up wearing the same thing as her. Taylor is not the kind of friend. In fact, Taylor’s the kind of pal who’ll text you before meeting up with the express purpose of coordinating outfits. #Twinning.

She’ll share her signature move with you.

As the sorta-official originator of the hand heart, Taylor Swift doesn’t throw up an “I love you” symbol with just anyone. You know you’ve reached BFF status when she hand-hearts with you.

She’ll also share her spotlight.

Though she’s used to being the star of the show, T-Swift has no problem sharing the stage with her pals—especially when said pal is a Victoria’s Secret model. She’s the kind of friend who’ll support you and your successes (in this case, that success is obviously having miles-long legs and an uncanny ability to rock angel wings).

She’s the kind of friend who’ll tag along to see your favorite band.

And she’ll totally fangirl with you. A girl who’s willing to sing-slash-scream along with all the words is a friend worth keeping.

**She’s all about fun pH๏τo ops. **

And even when it’s a spur-of-the-moment snap, like this mermaid pose with BFF Selena Gomez, any picture that involves Tay literally always looks flawless. Is it magic? Maybe!

She appreciates life’s simplest pleasures.

Like sitting in the sun, toes in the water, sharing ice cream cones with your best girl.

And if you have nothing to do…

…she’ll come up with a reason to paint the town red (or, y’know, blue) anyway. Like “Face Paint Wednesday,” a would-be weekly holiday that banishes midweek blues with a full-on celebration.
