The where churches have become temples of cheese, fitness and eroticismstate of the squad is strong, my friends.

In these uncertain times, there is one thing we can count on: A photogenic group of women orbiting around Taylor Swift, totally psyched about female friendship.

Ever since the great Taymerican Fourth of July, we haven't really unpacked the squad's status, so now, let's do that!

Dakota Johnson had the privilege of speaking to Swift via FaceTime on her birthday and has since been seen with Swift. This friendship makes sense based on Johnson's underrated romantic comedy, How To Be Single, in which "Welcome to New York" plays as Johnson arrives to the city in a cab, eyes ablaze with wonder, and she wears some cute plaid miniskirts. Also, Dakota Johnson is 5'7".

Zoë Kravitz

Kravitz and Swift were spotted walking near each other two nights in a row. Maybe they're best friends! Kravitz is pals with Cara Delevingne, so it makes sense that Swift would usurp her into the squad.

Grace VanderWaal

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

VanderWaal, 12, won America's Got Talent after being dubbed a mini-Swift. Tay sent her flowers, so we're optimistic about this relationship blooming. It is unclear if VanderWaal and Delevigne have hung out.

Sienna Miller and Tara Summers

Top Tier

Cara Delevingne

We've been talking about Delevingne a lot, haven't we? She and Tay Tay are pretty inseparable these days. Swift trusts her enough to play with her cats unsupervised.

Selena's been laying low while she works on the anxiety and depression she's experienced since her Lupus diagnosis, but she and Taylor are permanent besties.

Lily Donaldson, Aldridge

Swift has maintained close ties to all models named Lily.

Hailee Steinfeld

The Academy Award nominated actress, who is currently intent on launching her pop star career, has previously insisted that she and Swift aren't as close as people may believe.

Williams and Swift, two powerful, driven women, were spotted dining together Thursday night. Williams previously joined Swift on stage during the 1989 tour.

Mick Jagger

Swift has performed with the legendary Rolling Stones singer several times and made a sacred Photo Booth image with him at Liberty Ross' birthday party, so they are confirmed chums. James Corden, Jimmy Iovine and Mary J. Blige are among the other guests of the evening Swift partied with at the soiree.

Yolanda Hadid

Taylor is occasionally spotted with Yolanda Hadid, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and mom of Gigi and Bella. They probably bond over side bangs.
