Camila Cabello Opens Up About Her Friendship With Taylor Swift And The Songwriting Skills She Picked Up From Her

Buy Me A Coffee

Pop sensation Camila Cabello is giving us the inside scoop on her superstar BFF, Taylor Swift! These two have been thick as thieves for years, and it all started when the 27-year-old โ€œI Luv Itโ€ singer hitched a ride on Taylorโ€™s Reputation Stadium Tour as the opening act for the 34-year-old “Clara Bow” singer.

Chatting about her shiny new album C,XOXO, Camila gushed about her transition from hardcore Swiftie to Taylorโ€™s actual friend. Can you imagine? From fangirl to friend in a few short yearsโ€”it’s like a Cinderella story but with more glitter and less mice.

โ€œI was the fโ€“king biggest Taylor fan. Then she became my friend a few years after,โ€ Camila spilled to Apple Music 1โ€™s Zane Lowe. Ah, the classic tale of ‘meet your idol, be cool, donโ€™t freak out, become besties.’

Despite rubbing elbows with music royalty, Camila confessed to feeling like a fraud sometimes. โ€œI mean, I feel like I did have imposter syndrome for a very long time, and I do sometimes. But when you get to know people like Taylor or Drake, you realize, โ€˜Oh, they have the same sh-t.โ€™โ€ Because nothing says bonding like realizing everyoneโ€™s got their own brand of crazy.

Being around legends like Taylor, she explained, really amps up your game. โ€œThereโ€™s something about their energy and their confidence and their wisdom from just doing it so long that I think just kind of pulls your game up. Also, when you make friends with people like that, youโ€™re like, โ€˜Oh, theyโ€™re kind of watching my sh-t, so I better fโ€“king come correct.โ€™โ€ Yes, Camila, we all need that level of peer pressure in our lives.

Camila also threw in a shoutout to HBOโ€™s Girls, her ultimate comfort show. โ€œIโ€™m a really emotional person, but I think I also learned technique-wise, what I love, what I think constitutes great writing,โ€ she explained. And what better way to hone those skills than by binge-watching TV with Mom?

She praised Taylorโ€™s songwriting skills, emphasizing the art of ‘show, donโ€™t tell.’ โ€œInstead of just saying, โ€˜This devastated me,โ€™ which Taylor is a master at this, you donโ€™t say, โ€˜I was jealous.โ€™ You say, โ€˜I want to wear her hair on my head,โ€™ or something. You know what I mean? You donโ€™t say the emotion, you paint it.โ€ Yes, we know what you mean, Camila. And now we want to wear someoneโ€™s hair on our head, too.

Mark your calendars, because Camilaโ€™s new album C,XOXO drops THIS Friday (June 28)! It’s jam-packed with features from Drake, Lil Nas X, Playboi Carti, and City Girlsโ€™ JT and Yung Miami. So get ready to dance like nobodyโ€™s watchingโ€”or like Taylor Swift is, because letโ€™s be real, she probably is.
