Taylor Swift: 'My friends don’t need me for validation or social climbing'

Songstress Taylor Swift has opened up about her girl squad and confessed that she is cautious with who she lets into her life. 

She told Vogue magazine in Australia that she chooses her friends carefully and doesn't believe any of them are using her to get ahead:

"I think one of my main goals in trying to preserve my sense of reality has been to surround myself with friends who have their own careers, and who don’t need me for any sense of validation or social climbing, or a career statement."

She went onto add that a lot of her close pals are in the music and entertainment industries so she also trusts their opinions on her new material when she plays things to them:

“My friends have all solidified themselves in their own careers and so if they think that I shouldn’t put out a certain single as a first single, they’re going to tell me: ‘That wasn’t one of my favourites that you’ve played me Taylor,' and I’m going to respect that opinion. I think it works both ways; your friends have to be confident in your friendship in order to be honest with you, and then you have to be humble enough to accept honesty.”
