Taylor Swift, squad ring leader, has stopped hanging out with her expansive friend group of actresses and models in front of the paparazzi in the last year. Reputation era Swift is rarely photographed, keeps her relationships private, and is very, very in love with her British boyfriend Joe Alwyn (who these days she's basically, secretly, practically living with in London). One "high-profile" former squad member, per Grazia, seems a little bitter about that shift.

"Celebrity friendships are weird. You don’t see each other for forever, and you accept that, but Taylor’s gone off-grid in a big way since meeting Joe," the friend said, talking to the outlet on the condition of anonymity last week.

The friend also claimed that Swift has asked some squad members not to publicly talk about her to the press. "I even heard about people getting requests not to mention her in interviews," the friend detailed. "It’s hard when that’s all you’re asked about, but Taylor is hyper-sensitive. I guess you have to be high-maintenance to become the biggest pop star in the world."

A second insider told Grazia that the friendships aren't over; just the way she hangs out with the girls has changed. "Taylor’s been keeping a low profile, but there hasn’t been a big fall-out," the source said. "She was stung by claims her squad was elitist and prefers to spend time with close friends one-on-one at the moment. Since meeting Joe, her priorities have shifted, and everyone’s hoping for her sake that it works out. If it doesn’t, she may find herself having to make some awkward reparations."

While Swift hasn't really posted photos of any friendship (besides those with her cats, Olivia and Meredith), she did sneak in a Selena Gomez easter egg in her last Instagram of the kitties. There's a photo of her and Gomez in the corner:

Though public shows of Swift's friendships are rare, they were plentiful on the singer's birthday, December 13. Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez, Camila Cabello, and basically the majority of the singer's original "squad" members posted social media messages in tribute to Swift and their private friendship. Even Karlie Kloss shared a tribute. Of course, that was before fans worried their friendship was in danger because Kloss hung out in a group with Katy Perry, Swift's frenemy. (Neither Kloss, Swift, nor Perry have commented on this, perhaps because Kloss can be friends with both adult women without it being dramatic.)

Swift has been mostly out of the public eye over the last couple months. She was last photographed with two fans out in Big Sur, California. Her personal Instagram updates show her deep in Reputation tour rehearsals. Swift's world tour for the album kicks off May 8.
