Taylor Swift is famous for her squad of (very talented) A-list friends, but less is known about her low-key friendship with Jaime King.
Although King used to share pics of the pair hanging out together when she was pregnant and after she gave birth, it’s unclear whether they are still as close today.
Nevertheless, King does continue to refer to Swift’s music in her Instagram captions, with one in December reading: “I’ve been the archer….” seemingly referring to Swift’s song “The Archer”. The post sent Reddit users into a frenzy trying to figure out whether they’re still besties.
Here’s everything we know about their friendship so far:
