Little Mix said that Taylor Swift gave them some wise words of advice recently.

The girl group hit the stage with the US star in California last weekend to perform their single 'Black Magic'.

Speaking to MTV, the Brits said that the '1989' icon was on hand to give them some tips.

Jesy Nelson revealed: "[She said] to always stick together as a group.

"She said what she loves about us is how much we are such a unit and she loves how there is no one in the group that is like, 'Oh look at me'. She's like, 'I love that you are four and that's how you should stay', and that was really nice."

Perrie Edwards added: "You don't realise until you meet her and you're like holy crap how does she stay so on top and so nice and so genuine? She's really, really lovely."
