The squad may have ebbed and flowed over the years, but if there's one thing Taylor Swift knows, it's how to be a good BFF. Here's Taylor Swift's current rosters of besties:

  • Abigail Anderson Lucier: The OG Best Friend, Taylor and Abigail have been friends for decades. Her claim to fame? "Fifteen" was inspired by Abigail's experiences.
  • Blake Lively: This pair always knows how to have a good time. Whether it's hyping each other professionally, or passionately hyping up the Kansas City Chiefs, it's gonna be a fun one when Blake and Taylor are together.
  • Keleigh Teller: You may know her as Miles Teller's wife, but Keleigh Teller is a former model and fabulous friend to Taylor Swift. She actually starred in Taylor's "I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version)" music video...which was directed by none other than Blake Lively. Can I join this friend group yet?!
  • Selena Gomez: Most recently, Taylor and Selena were spotted gabbing (with Keleigh) at the Golden Globe Awards, and it caused quite a stir. Needless to say, these longtime friends know how to stand out in a crowd and make a statement — even when they're literally just...talking!
  • Jack Antonoff: Iconic music producer and musician himself, Jack Antonoff produced some of Taylor's most notable albums. This pair is honestly musical soulmates, with their goofy antics and nerdy obsession with getting a song juuuust right.
  • Haim: The Haim sisters and Taylor Swift are a force to be reckoned with — and not just because of "no body, no crime." The quad brings the party wherever they go, singing, dancing, and making the most of their time together.
  • Emma Stone: Emma Stone is having an absolute moment as a movie star, and Taylor couldn't be more proud. These ladies constantly support each other, showing up to premieres and awards and shows galore. We love to see it!
  • Lana Del Rey: Friends and collaborators, Taylor and Lana are a total golden retriever-black cat kind of friendship. They recently showed up to the Grammys as each other's dates, sitting at a table with Jack, and totally thriving. And did we mention how good their voices sound together? Hello, "Snow on the Beach"!!!!

Madelyn Cline, Sarah Pidgeon, & Freddie Prinze Jr. Fight For Survival In The 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Sequel

If you're a 90s movies (and horror movies) lover, you might agree that nothing beats an old school slasher. I Know What You Did Last Summer, which stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Freddie Prinze Jr., premiered in 1997, combines everything we love about coming of age movies — friends, summer vacation, and drama — with just enough terror to send a chill down your spine. And just like the original, the new I Know What You Did Last Summer features some of the hottest names in Hollywood.

Everything you need to know about the new I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel movie, coming to theaters July 18, 2025.

Watch the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' trailer now.

This is definitely not a relaxing summer vacation. For instance, Madelyn Cline's guided meditation bubble bath distracting her from the fact her boyfriend's getting murdered by a harpoon & hook? Yikes. The rest of the I Know What You Did Last Summer trailer shows the full crew escaping the mystery man hunting them — and enlisting the help of Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt).

Is there a 3rd I Know What You Did Last Summer?

Columbia Pictures

Yes, a brand new I Know What You Did Last Summer is coming to theaters this summer. But just because it's a new film doesn't mean it won't have plenty of nostalgia.

"There's lots of '90s in there, so get excited because the '90s are back again!" Jennifer Love Hewitt, who's returning for the movie, told People. "And there's lots of twists and turns. I don't think people are going to expect anything that's coming. It's a really fun ride."

"We approached it like super fans, so I think people are going to be really happy," writer-director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson added. "All the things that you want to see in this movie, you're going to see in this movie."

Who's in the I Know What You Did Last Summer cast?

  • Austin Nichols
  • Gabbriette
  • Madelyn Cline
  • Sarah Pidgeon
  • Tyriq Withers

Brook Rushton/Sony Pictures

In the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, five friends accidentally cause a deadly car accident and agree to keep the secret forever. But when someone starts terrorizing them the next year, they reach out to Julie and Ray for help. And Jennifer Love Hewitt can't get enough of this new "phenomenal" cast!

"It's for them to make it their own and for me to stand by like a proud mom and say, 'It's yours now, take it and run and enjoy,'" she told People.

"When you get a group of young actors together, it can be a recipe for disaster oftentimes," Chase Sui Wonders added. "But everyone in this cast just brought it to the nth degree. We all got along so well. The chemistry between us was so fun and natural and seamless."

Do Revenge's Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is directing and co-writing alongside Sam Lansky.

When is I Know What You Did Last Summer coming out?

Matt Kennedy/Sony Pictures

The new movie will hit theaters July 18, 2025.

The 'Ransom Canyon' Cast Spilled On Josh Duhamel's Hilarious On-Set Prank

Ransom Canyon might be all drama, but behind the scenes, the cast had a blast. Especially when filming that banquet scene in episode 2, because Josh Duhamel was attacking everyone with bread balls while the cameras were rolling.

"You think like, 'Oh he's a Blue Steel', no," Lizzy Greene tells Brit + Co in our Ransom Canyon interview. "In our big banquet scene in episode 2 while we were shooting, he was rolling up bread balls and flicking them at people. And, like, we're talking in the back of the shots! People would get hit in the hair and they turn around and nothing's there and he's over there giggling, flicking these things. He just wants to have fun."

Keep reading to see Lizzy Greene, Garrett Wareing, & Andrew Liner adventures filming Ransom Canyon, streaming on Netflix now!

But the Ransom Canyon cast says Josh Duhamel's antics helped relieve a lot of stress. "When you're on hour 16 of shooting and you were just like dying and you're like on your second energy drink and then there's someone who's still energized and happy to be there," Lizzy Greene continues.

"There's so much pressure when you're going into this and we know this is Netflix, we're with Minka [Kelly] and Josh and that's big," Andrew Liner says. "And for him to kind of take the edge off for all of us was really gracious and really sweet. So he was a goofball and a jokester sometimes, it helped us feel comfortable and be natural and be able to give a performance that we deemed necessary."

And those performances are definitely memorable. The trio plays a group of high school students caught in a love triangle as they dream of better lives for themselves and their families. And naturally, we had to ask them what their favorite fictional love triangles are.

Lizzy immediately claims Edward, Jacob, and Bella from Twilight, which she describes as "teenage girl heaven."

"I loved it so much. I was a Jacob girl my whole life, whole life until I read all the books and I was like, oh yeah, it's actually Edward," she says. "However, New Moon is amazing and I do wish she would have just at least gotten together with him in New Moon and then maybe they, like, broke up later, but that's my two cents."

Garrett also chimes in with a popular YA series when he brings up The Hunger Games' Katniss, Peeta, and Gale, while Andrew takes a different route.

"One of my favorite movies is Nocturnal Animals," he says. "I think it's a very real — I mean hopefully not that real for you — but I love that one between Armie Hammer, and Jake Gyllenhaal, and Amy Adams."

Netflix

Despite the fact their characters are dealing with some serious drama, these castmates had some quality bonding time while filming. "We all grew up loving Pokemon and we had to go to Target and get all of our groceries and home essentials, and one day we stumble across Pokemon cards and we're like, 'Oh, wouldn't it be funny if we just got a pack?'" Andrew reveals. "And then we got addicted to buying Pokemon cards."

"I'm talking on a level that you will never, we can't even personify how much we probably fueled the economy in Albuquerque and that Target," Lizzy jokes.

Garrett agrees, saying, "If my wallet on me right now, I'd show you the Pokemon cards I have in my wallet. And I made [Andrew] an art piece and collaged Pokemon cards onto this big framed board."

While Pokemon are some cute little virtual creatures, they also got to interact with plenty of cute creatures IRL.

"We had cowboy camp, so we got to New Mexico early," Andrew says. "It ended up being 3 or 4 months of an intensive riding every day, learning to rope, learning to herd cattle, care of them so we didn't look like city kids on horses."

"I love my horse," Garrett adds. "I even got him tattooed on my leg." Talk about a memorable filming experience!

What's so cool about energy is that it's totally timeless, so trust that this message landed in your lap exactly when you needed it.

This week, we've got a bit of a party happening in the cards, so let's dive right into what this deck — and spirit — wants us to know.

The Spark & the Swift Kick: Knight of Swords & Ace of Swords

We're kicking things off with a dynamic duo: the Knight of Swords and the Ace of Swords. Now, if you've been tuning in the past few weeks, you know we've been swimming in some action-oriented energy, even if it sometimes felt like we were wading through molasses. With all planets direct right now, the cosmos is definitely in a forward-moving mood, and these cards are echoing that big time.

But hold up! Action doesn't mean you need to sprint a marathon right this second. Think of this week as more of a gentle nudge to start taking action. The Knight of Swords is all about forward movement and transformation (peep those butterflies!), and paired with the brand-spanking-new beginnings and opportunities of the Ace of Swords, it's like the starting gun has just fired.

If things have felt sluggish, this might be the cosmic permission slip to just begin. And if your calendar has been looking like a Tetris game on expert level (hello, spring!), this is a reminder to tap into that fast-moving energy in a way that truly serves you.

The Ace of Swords is whispering about a new story, a fresh way of writing your narrative. It might be a tangible new thing in your life, or it could be a brand-new way of showing up within your current reality. The Knight of Swords is urging us to embrace that transformation and just move. It's not necessarily about lightning speed, but about initiating that journey.

If you've felt like you had momentum and then hit a wall, don't let that undertow pull you back! Remember Dory? "Just keep swimming!" This week is about choosing that forward momentum, even if it feels like a little tough love from the universe. They're basically saying, "Sip that cosmic coffee and let's GO!" We don't want to miss out on this potent forward energy.

Your Action Plan:

  • Make Lists: If overwhelm is your jam right now, get it all out of your head and onto paper.
  • Set Reminders: Use the tangible world (like your phone!) to support your energetic intentions.
  • Just Start: Take it one step at a time. The Ace of Swords reminds us you're at the beginning, so baby steps are totally okay.

The Pause & the Push: Nine of Wands

Next up, we have the Nine of Wands. Now, this card can sometimes signal paralysis or feeling stuck. But the vibe this week is a little different. It's highlighting some deep-seated wounds getting triggered – maybe old failures creeping into your thoughts, fear of not succeeding, or anxiety about the path ahead. You might be feeling stuck because you're unsure how to navigate these feelings.

The guidance here is acceptance. If this resonates, take a moment to acknowledge those feelings: "I am afraid. I am unsure. I am overwhelmed." And then ask yourself: "Okay, but now what?"

The Nine of Wands also brings a bit of tough love. You have a choice: stay stuck in that discomfort, or take one step forward. It doesn't have to be a giant leap, just a single step. You deserve so much more than to let fear or anxiety win. We're in a season of transformation and forward movement, so choose that!

This applies to all areas of life – work, hobbies, relationships, and even your internal world. What energy do you want to cultivate daily? What small action can you take to start being in that space? It could be a mantra, a new morning routine, or breaking down a big goal into tiny, manageable steps.

Don't let past stories or stories others have written for you keep you stuck. Take back the pen and start writing your own narrative. It might feel big and scary, but remember that butterfly energy – transformation can be uncomfortable, but staying in the cocoon forever isn't an option. Let's be butterflies!

Your Action Plan:

  • Acknowledge Your Feelings: It's okay to feel overwhelmed or afraid.
  • Take One Step: Even a small action breaks the stagnation.
  • Rewrite Your Story: Don't let past experiences define your future.

The Leap of Faith & the Turning Wheel: The Fool & Wheel of Fortune

Finally, we have a super hopeful duo: The Fool and the Wheel of Fortune. The Fool is all about new beginnings, taking a leap of faith, even if you don't see the landing just yet. It's that "woo, let's go!" energy, trusting that your "wings will appear" or you'll land safely.

Paired with the Wheel of Fortune, this is a resounding YES from the universe! Take the chance, spin the wheel, make the leap. It doesn't matter how it all unfolds right now, just go for it.

The Wheel of Fortune reminds us that things are always turning. If you're in a tough spot, hope is on the horizon. If things are amazing right now, optimize it and enjoy the ride, knowing that phases shift. This isn't a bad thing – it's the natural rhythm of life.

The Fool is like the universe saying, "We've got you!" Even with uncertainty, trust that you are supported and guided. Bet on yourself! The Wheel of Fortune brings infinite possibility. The path might not be crystal clear yet, but you have to walk it to figure it out. Spin that wheel and see where it lands!

The final piece of guidance here is to be open to expansion in your goals. Maybe the end result will look slightly different than you initially imagined, and that's okay! Leave a little room for the universe to surprise you and make it even better than you thought possible.

Your Action Plan:

  • Take a Chance: What's a small leap of faith you can take this week?
