Of her experience catching the Eras Tour in London, Zoë Kravitz told Jimmy Fallon, “It’s crazy. I mean, I’m not surprised because Taylor is scary talented at everything she does so it's not surprising that she’s so good."
She continued, “But what is weirder to me is that after she performs for however many thousands of people that are, you know, she just comes over after and we drink some wine and eat a burger and hang out. You would just never know that she just performed at Wembley.”
“There are a lot of famous people who don’t let you forget that they’re famous," she added. "They bring Wembley home with them if that makes sense. She really just turns into a normal person. It's pretty crazy.”

“Not long after we became friends, she knew I felt awkward going to my ex’s wedding, so she tagged along with me, made it fun, and then we ditched the reception to go to the Cheesecake Factory,” Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams told PEOPLE in 2023.
“She recently called when I was going through a rough time, just to listen and crack jokes and give me solid advice that of course sounded like perfectly formed lyrics," she added. "She's funny as s--- and so fun."

"Taylor is the hardest working artist I've ever encountered," Aaron Dessner, who met Swift in 2014, told PEOPLE last year. "She is involved in every aspect of writing and producing her songs and has an incredible attention span and focus on detail."
He added, "I've spent a lot of time with her and I've never seen anyone wait on her. When I have stayed at her house, Taylor herself was cooking everyone breakfast and dinner. She's legitimately just a very down to earth and hardworking person."

"When we talk about [growing together in Hollywood] we're not like, 'Look at this prosperity.' It's moreso like, actually: This is so cool that you get it," Gomez said while on Friends Keep Secrets, the podcast her husband Benny Blanco hosts with Lil Dicky and his wife Kristin Batalucco.
"It's absolutely unbelievable to come from 17 years of friendship, from multiple heartbreaks and love stories and fun stories in life. We both ended up fortunately being engaged around the same time and that was the coolest part," Gomez says, while also sharing the sweet personal gift Swift had made for her and Blanco.

"She's very self-aware," he said on an episode of Barstool Sports' Bussin' with the Boys .
