A Look At Taylor Swift & Beyoncé’s Superstar Friendship

After accepting her VMA, Beyoncé said, “I remember being 17 years old, up for my first MTV award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments of my life, so I would like for Taylor to come out and have her moment.” As Taylor Swift walked on stage, the two hugged before the “Blank Space” singer took the mic. Later that night, Swift gushed about Beyoncé to reporters: “It was wonderful, incredibly classy, and gracious of her.” The pop star added, “She’s a great person and I really look up to her.” 

In 2012, Swift and Beyoncé’s paths crossed again at a Rodarte fashion show, and they shared a sweet hug. Beyoncé and Jay-Z later showed up to party at Swift’s 25th star-studded birthday bash in 2015. The “Shake It Off” performer shared a snap from the night, featuring Beyoncé donning a pair of fluffy reindeer horns. Just two days after the party, she attended Justin Timberlake’s concert alongside Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and HAIM. In typical Swift fashion, she was spotted dancing while the couple quietly vibed in the background. 

During Swift’s 2015 appearance on Kiss FM UK (via E! News), she admitted to loving Beyoncé to a point that many people would find creepy, so she only publicly spoke about it to support the “Single Ladies” singer. Swift added that losing an award in Beyoncé’s presence didn’t upset her because she still got the privilege of seeing her again.
