Taylor Swift’s squad about to get a lot cooler thanks to Patrick Stewart

Here’s something I didn’t see coming: Taylor Swift and I might have very similar squad goals. Swift recently struck up a Twitter friendship with Patrick Stewart — so naturally I’m jealous — and now they’re apparently ready to make the jump to friends IRL as well. “She’s coming to town,” Stewart tells E! News, adding that attending a Swift show is apparently in the cards for him and best pal Ian McKellan. “I think we’re working on that. I mean, she’s invited us into her squad.” This is not fair, universe. Not fair.

And to think, it all started with some adorable back-and-forth tweeting:

So @IanMcKellen recited Bad Blood and I did Blank Space on @NPRAskMeAnother. May we join the squad, @taylorswift13? https://t.co/liKBfSzIaU
