Taylor Swift's friendship group seems to be going from strength to strength as new celebrities form friendships with the Blank Space singer.
The 33-year-old has always been known to have a close-knit group of friends, which she often shows off either in her music videos or when pictured arm in arm with her pals on girls nights out. More recently, Taylor introduced the likes of singer Sabrina Carpenter, Netflix QueerEye host Antoni Porowski, Brittany Mahomes and recent divorcees Hugh Jackman and, in an unlikely turn of events, Sophie Turner.
The new group made their debut with Taylor's older pals, couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, at her rumoured love interest's football match on Sunday, with all of her friends cheering NFL star Travis Kelce on. Our relationship expert and co-founder of So Syncd Louella Alderson has given insight to the appeal of Taylor's friendship group and why so many celebrities seem to flock to the star in their time of need.

Louella also revealed that those who have been through recent breakups, like Hugh - who split from his wife of 27 years last month - and Sophie - who's in the midst of a messy divorce from her estranged husband Joe Jonas - seem to find "comfort" in Taylor, who has had a number of public breakups, and could turn to her for advice on "how to handle media attention and scrutiny."
