If you somehow missed Patrick Stewart’s dramatic reading of “Blank Space” and Ian McKellen’s equally theatric take on “Bad Blood,” then you don’t have the proper context for why two of the most beloved actors of our time suddenly asked to join Taylor Swift’s ever-growing group of friends (otherwise known as her squad).
Actually, that’s not something that really needs context. Who wouldn’t want to be part of the Swift Squad, right?
On Thursday, Stewart, 75, tweeted at the 25-year-old singer, asking ever so politely if he and his 76-year-old friend may “join the squad.”
So @IanMcKellen recited Bad Blood and I did Blank Space on @NPRAskMeAnother. May we join the squad, @taylorswift13? https://t.co/liKBfSzIaU

Swift clearly knows a good offer when she sees one. The singer lived up to her surname and responded swiftly:
Thanks for reciting my lyrics, @IanMcKellen and @SirPatStew! You’ve made my day. You two are ULTIMATE Squad Goals: pic.twitter.com/pJZY6T5Lq8

Then this happened:
OMG I DIE!!! (no really, I might. I’m old.) https://t.co/q4u7FIcMYr

I hope this means I can finally wear leather pants in public… pic.twitter.com/m0XP7CcWgT

And they all lived happily ever after.
