Taylor Swift has been known to be quite picky when it comes to letting people in her tightly knit group of friends but it seems that "Harry Potter" alum Emma Watson made the cut as a recent photo of the pop star with the actress went viral recently, according to Hollywood Life.
Attending the singer's concert in London on Saturday, Watson was pictured with Swift's group of friends backstage. The news came to light after one of the "Blank Space" hit maker's buddies, Lauren Aquilina, a British singer and songwriter, posted a picture of the group via social media. The photo showed Swift beside Watson along with the former's close friends, namely, Karlie Kloss, Martha Hunt, Sydney Sierota and of course Aquilina herself. She captioned the shot with, "Spent tonight surrounded by badass girls and couldn't be happier about it."
Prior to this occasion, Swift has always been open about her respect and admiration for Watson. In an earlier report, the pop star was quoted raving over the UN Goodwill Ambassador's speech regarding feminism and gender equality.
"I wish when I was 12 years old, I had been able to watch a video of my favorite actress explaining in such an intellectual, beautiful poignant way the definition of feminism," Swift said, referring to the UN speech of Watson who then introduced her HeForShe campaign, according to Daily Mail. The "Bad Blood" singer continued to say, "Because I would have understood it and then earlier on in my life I would have proudly claimed that I was a feminist." Swift then added, "I just think that a lot of girls don't know the definition and the fact that Emma got up and explained it, I think it's an incredible thing and I am happy to live in a world where that happened."
Swift also took the concert as an opportunity to finally lay the rumors regarding her ongoing feud against "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star, Kendall Jenner, to rest as she summoned the model and their other friends, Serena Williams, Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne onstage for her number, titled "Style." Prior to this event, it had been widely speculated that Jenner and Swift are not in good terms due to the romantic involvement of both women with One Direction's Harry Styles. Their reunion was commemorated by yet another social media post courtesy of Hadid who captioned the shot with, "This is love."
