A lot of her music might be inspired by her romantic relationships, but Taylor Swift is well-known for her friendships—she practically trademarked the concept of a “girl squad.” And on that squad since 2014 is model Gigi Hadid, who still shows up to support Swift during her shows and day-to-day. The pair has even taken couples vacations together with Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and Hadid’s new beau, Bradley Cooper.
But who cares about boys? Here’s Swift and Hadid’s full friendship timeline.
March 2014
It’s not entirely clear when they first crossed paths, but they notably posed together at the 2014 Vanity Fair Oscar Party alongside Ireland Baldwin, Karlie Kloss, and Jaime King.

She said they snacked on guacamole, pizza, and chips and that she wore a Cub Scout costume while Swift was dressed as Deadpool (who is played by her friend Blake Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds).

May 2017
In a profile in Harper’s Bazaar, Hadid talked about how she was too busy to constantly expand her circle of friends, so she enjoys being with Swift.
“The time I do have off, it’s not even enough to give everyone I love attention. I’m good with [the friends] I’ve got,” she explained
Swift was also interviewed for the story and shared, “As a friend, Gigi is one of the first people I go to for advice. She has this incredible ability to see all sides of a situation and simplify it for you, to see the complexity of people.”
She added, “Gigi’s #1 rule is to treat people the way she’d want to be treated, so she’s on time (or early) to work, says hello to everyone on set, asks them how they are, and actually listens to their response.”
July 2018
Hadid was filmed dancing to “Don’t Blame Me” from Swift’s album Reputation at another concert. She shared pics of the event in her Instagram Story, writing, “I’m so proud to experience this celebration of clarity and strength with you. WHAT A SHOW. You did it again. Love you to the moon.”

In a TikTok video shared by @broookeff, Hadid answers the question, “What is your favorite song off of the new Taylor Swift album?”
The question referred to Midnights, and the model said she favored “Snow on the Beach.”
“Probably ‘Snow on the Beach’ because it reminds me of Taylor’s house in Rhode Island in the winter, and it just makes me think of good times,” she explained. “Even though, you know … it could be a song about a lot of things, but I love that it makes me happy.”
April 2023
Swift and Hadid went out to dinner in New York City with Blake Lively, plus sisters Alana, Danielle, and Este Haim. The outing came just a few weeks after Swift’s confirmed breakup with actor Joe Alwyn.
That same month while chatting with InStyle, Hadid revealed Swift was an “exceptional cook,” especially her “really good bolognese sauce” and “really good chili.”
“I love to cook, but it’s also such a treat to get cooked for,” Hadid said. “And when you have friends that really also care about those special moments and the more intimate spaces and what can really come from putting an effort into making the time for that, I think that that’s when you start to find the friends that you really connect with because you’re both working towards manifesting those really special moments.”

“Taylor is a total romantic and loves playing cupid for her friends,” claimed the insider. “Even though Gigi and Bradley have their own properties in New York, they wanted somewhere more private to spend time getting to know each other, and Taylor was only too happy to help. She said the door to her home is always open for them to use.”
November 2023
Hadid, Swift, Sophie Turner, Selena Gomez, and Brittany Mahomes all went to dinner together in New York City.

That month, a source told Us Weekly, “One of the reasons Gigi hasn’t attended any of Travis’ games is because she doesn’t agree with the way Taylor has been acting with [him]…She feels like Taylor is doing too much, too soon.”
But Hadid almost immediately shut down those rumors.
She commented on a Perez Hilton Instagram, saying she was a “couple days late” to the gossip. She added, “Didn’t the press try this last week w Selena? Let it be.. we are all over the moon for our girl. Period.”
