BFFs Taylor Swift has a boyfriend but not a castle Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris went out for dinner last night at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. That’s Rihanna’s favourite restaurant.

BFFs Intro for August 10, 2015 Dear Gossips, The Taylor Swift Friend Collection seemed to be on pause for a couple of weeks. Or at least it was a lot less spectacular.

BFFs Amy Schumer & Jennifer Lawrence: the new #Squad I just realised it’s Friday and I haven’t written once about Taylor Swift’s friend collecting.
