I don't know if you've noticed, but Taylor Swift has been stepping out a lot lately.
All over New York, in fact. Just this week, she was able to go out three days in a row, resulting in all of these enlightening headlines: "Taylor Swift Steps Out Again with Pals Dakota Johnson and Cara Delevingne in NYC "; "Taylor Swift, Dakota Johnson, Cara Delevingne, and Suki Waterhouse Step Out in NYC "; "Taylor Swift and Squad Hit A Kings of Leon Concert In Formation "; "Taylor Swift Hits the Town with Serena Williams, Dakota Johnson, Other Gal Pals "; and "Taylor Swift Enjoys the Single Life with Another Epic Girls’ Night Out."
From these headlines, I immediately gathered that the "Bad Blood" singer is shopping for some new friends. So I decided to help her out.
First, I had to see the state of her current squad, which has maintained many of its core members. She's far and beyond met her limit for model friends (Gigi Hadid, Lily Aldridge, Martha Hunt, Lily Donaldson, Cara Delevingne, and Karlie Kloss, to name a few), and is quickly filling up her actress-and-singer roster (Zendaya, Lorde, Hailee Steinfeld, Selena Gomez, Jaime King, and Blake Lively, for example). Just this week, she's added: Sienna Miller, Dakota Johnson, Suki Waterhouse, Zoë Kravitz, and Selena Williams (victory lap). Clearly, the singer is expanding her repertoire, so I wanted to help her spice things up.
I did my own casting call for Swift's new squad members; ahead is the cream of the crop. Each of these potential friends bring something a little special, and will totes get along with the OG members. "Make new friends, but keep the old," as they say.
JoJo
JoJo is back, and she's better. The teen-queen singer is now a full-fledged adult, and she's reinventing herself one banging song at a time. Swift and JoJo could even perform on-stage together, before they ultimately have a falling out. She could fill Selena Gomez's seat to the right of the throne.

Jennifer Garner
Swift loves being friends with her exes' new girls (hello, Gigi and Joe). And after this failed relationship rumor linking Swift to Ben Affleck, Garner would be the perfect candidate. Swift's also the godmother to Jaime King's son, so she's already good with kids.

Ken Bone
If anyone is going to break the mold and be the first guy to join the girl-only squad, it's recent sensation Ken Bone. Imagine the memes that could come of it.

Cher Horowitz
Cher loves to step out and wear designer clothes. She's smart(ish), popular, and can roll with the in-crowd. This is a match made in heaven. They can even coordinate outfits!

Choupette Lagerfeld
Swift loves cats, and this is one of the most famous. They would get along purr-fectly, and also give Swift a much-coveted "in" with Karl.

Tiffany Trump
Taylor + Tiffany = Tayffany. Maybe Swift could even blend her Squad with Trump's Snap Pack. She needs a little socialite sauce on her squad buffet.
