Gigi Hadid revealed that Taylor Swift helped her prepare for the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York City on Tuesday night.
Despite being one of the most well-known and highest-paid supermodels of all time, the catwalk queen, 29, revealed she received some pointers from her longtime pal.
‘There’s something on the runway tonight that is new for me, at least on this runway,’ the Vogue cover girl teased during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
The mother-of-one continued: ‘There’s an aspect to it that I was trained to do by Taylor on her tour. In one of her rehearsals, she was like, “I’m gonna show you how we do this.” Did that and now I’m using it tonight.’
Although she didn’t offer any more hints to what move Swift taught her, many of the popstar’s fans took to X to speculate how Hadid would be paying homage to the Eras Tour during the show.
‘Why did the rep knee drop come to mind?’ one tweeted.
Another wrote: ”Just imagine Gigi doing the Bejeweled dance on the catwalk.’
‘Gigi Hadid is a Taylor Swift disciple. Get ready for a masterclass in dance,’ a third predicted.
Others guessed that the supermodel may be inspired by Swift’s famous strut during her song, Style.
Another theory is that the stage during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show could move like Swift’s during her song, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?, which creates the illusion that the 14-time Grammy winner is levitating.
Other possibilities include Hadid learning how to dance with a chair like Swift does during Vigilante S**t or diving headfirst into the stage (with the help of an inflatable airbag).
In addition to headlining six tours over her career, Swift performed during the 2013 and 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Hadid, who previously revealed she would be making it to ‘as many’ Eras shows as possible, ‘psychopath at a Taylor show.’
‘I go nuts. I’m not cool at all. I’m like the most embarrassing friend,’ she mused to E! News last year.
The bombshell kept her promise and has attended a number of Swift’s tour dates, including her show in Nashville in 2023 and concert in Santa Clara, California.
When asked if fans should expect to see Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce in the audience, Hadid remained coy.
‘I think if they have one more night before he goes back [to Kansas City], they’ll probably be cozy on the couch. But, she will also be supporting. I can feel it!’ she told ET.
As for whether her man, Bradley Cooper, would be in attendance, Hadid revealed he will be ‘watching from home tonight’ because ‘he’s on dad duty.’
Despite his absence, she described the Oscar nominee, 49, as ‘ so supportive’ and added that she has ‘so many friends coming.’
Cooper and his ex Irina Shayk share a seven-year-old daughter, named Lea De Seine.
Meanwhile, Hadid and her former partner, Zayn Malik welcomed their daughter Khai in 2020.
Hadid and Swift’s close friendship goes back to 2014 when they were seen leaving the Vanity Fair Oscars Party afterparty together.
The following year, Swift invited Hadid to appear in her music video for her hit single, Bad Blood, and they have been inseparable ever since.
Over the years, they’ve shared photos together at various parties, including Swift’s legendary Fourth of July bashes.
In 2017, Swift revealed that ‘Gigi is one of the first people’ she goes to for advice.
‘She has this incredible ability to see all sides of a situation and simplify it for you, to see the complexity of people,’ she told Harper’s Bazaar. ‘Gigi’s #1 rule is to treat people the way she’d want to be treated, so she’s on time (or early) to work, says hello to everyone on set, asks them how they are, and actually listens to their response.’
Last year, Hadid praised Swift’s cooking skills as she told InStyle that Swift makes a ‘really good bolognese sauce and a really good chili.’
‘I love to cook, but it’s also such a treat to get cooked for,’ the model told the outlet. ‘And when you have friends that really also care about those special moments and the more intimate spaces and what can really come from putting an effort into making the time for that, I think that that’s when you start to find the friends that you really connect with because you’re both working towards manifesting those really special moments.’
