SHOCKING UPDATE: Taylor Swift’s besties brings her down As the Singer’s close pals including ‘Trump supporter’ Brittany Mahomes and ‘cancelled’ Blake Lively are making her unpopular with her own fans

She’s one of the biggest names in the pop industry with a close-knit girl group supporting her every move.

But Taylor’s Swift’s squad of girlfriends may be at risk of putting her out of style, with a string of her BFF’s currently facing controversies.

Fans have branded Taylor ‘spineless’ over her friendship with apparent Trump supporter Brittany Mahomes.

Meanwhile, a friend of Taylor’s for over a decade – Lena Dunham – has long found herself the centre of negative attention.

So, will the singer’s squad go out of style? Here, FEMAIL explores the pop star’s friends that have faced backlash.

The Bad Blood singer has enjoyed a friendship with The Girl actress Lena Dunham for a decade.

The duo’s sisterhood began online back in 2012 when Lena first tweeted about how important the songstress’ music was to her.

Praising the artist, she wrote: ‘Judging by how much she’s helped me thus far, Taylor Swift is going to write the song that finally gets me comfortable with death.’

Later that year in October, after the release of Taylor’s album Red, Lena took to Twitter once again as she penned: ‘Update: @taylorswif3’s album is triumphant. If she’d been here when I was in college I would have written papers on her, not Sylvia Plath’.

Overjoyed at her compliment, Taylor instantly replied as she raved about Lena’s comedy series Girls.

She replied: ‘@lenadunham, you made my day with that. I’m now going to sit in my dressing room reciting my fav @girlsHBO quotes.. Which is all of them.’

After Taylor decided to take the jump and followed Lena, it wasn’t long before the director replied and the friendship began.

The pair were seen cuddling up together at the Grammy’s in 2013, at the time when Lena was dating Taylor’s now producer Jack Antonoff.

In 2015, the star appeared in Taylor’s Bad Blood video which saw the star recruit her famous pack of girlfriend’s for her hit single with Kendrick Lamar.

In 2021, Taylor had the honour of serving as one of Lena’s bridesmaids at her wedding to husband Luis Felber at Soho’s Union Club in London.

Getting married after the COVID lockdown, Taylor was one of nine bridesmaids as Lena confessed she hadn’t seen some of her friends in over a year due to the pandemic.

She explained: ‘I spent so much time during the pandemic talking to my girlfriends about our feelings over FaceTime, but a few of my best friends I haven’t seen in over a year.

‘And, you know, my girlfriends have had to deal with a lot of not-so-happy things with me in our adulthood, so to be able to celebrate something joyful and use it as an excuse to be together was very special.’

It’s clear the pair have a special bond with one another, but Lena has often found herself in the spotlight, and not always for positive reasons.
