Taylor Swift and Hailee Steinfeld were recently spotted at the Arrowhead Stadium, rooting for their respective boyfriends, Travis Kelce and Josh Allen, during the AFC Championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. With the duo’s appearance as opposing team supporters, many wonder if Swift and Steinfeld are still friends in 2025.
Are Taylor Swift and Hailee Steinfeld friends?
Taylor Swift and Hailee Steinfeld’s friendship started a decade back. Swift and Steinfeld traveled to Paris together in January 2013, and the Internet erupted at the possibility of future collaborations. Later, Steinfeld appeared in Swift’s 2015 “Bad Blood” music video, featuring the pop billionaire’s close circle, including Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid.
Two months after “Bad Blood” premiere, Steinfeld also joined Swift’s much-awaited 1989 World Tour. After frequently being seen together for years, the “Most Girls” crooner told Seventeen back in 2016 that she and Swift actually don’t hang out together as often as people think they do.
“I think people think we spend a lot more time together than we actually do! She’s amazing, though,” Steinfeld said. From 2016 to 2019, Swift and Steinfeld were reportedly rarely seen hanging out publicly, making fans wonder if Swift’s ‘Squad’ has seen some significant changes.
But Steinfeld debunked rumors of any bad blood in 2019 when, during an interaction with Entertainment Tonight, she talked about meeting the “Lover” singer at Gigi Hadid’s birthday party and having a chance to “catch up.” She said, “Our schedule takes us around the world and back, and sometimes months go by without seeing each other. But it was so wonderful to catch up. I am so ready for this new era.”
Since then, the duo has continued to root for each other in subtle ways. In November 2024, Steinfeld got engaged to Josh Allen. She announced the happy news in an Instagram post that Swift liked, making fans believe the duo are still on good terms.
Fast forward to January 2025, Steinfeld and Swift were at the same stadium rooting for their beaus who were playing in opposite teams on January 26. Fans were surprised to see the duo’s lack of interaction during the match. However, some speculate that the camera focus could have been more on Swift, so Steinfeld’s presence may have gone unnoticed.
