Few do a girl’s night out better than Taylor Swift. The mega-bucks pop star, now said to be worth $1.1bn (£888m), might be globally renowned for her music catalogue but she’s arguably just as known for having some really, really famous friends. Specifically, her female friends, or her “girl squad”, as they’ve been referred to.

Recent weeks have seen Swift making headlines for going out for dinner in New York with Selena Gomez, Blake Lively, all three Haim sisters, models Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne, and a lesser-known newcomer to her friendship circle, Brittany Mahomes. She’s the wife of NFL player Patrick Mahomes, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs alongside Swift’s rumoured new boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
