Today is Taylor Swift's 28th birthday, a day that in past years inspired many a happy birthday Instagram tribute from her squadโand a tradition she often reciprocated on her own social media.
That was the old, pre-total-Instagram-purge Taylor, sure. But this year has also brought a couple sweet birthday tributes. Here, we checked in to see which besties have posted messages so farโat least on social media, since we can't speak for the friends who chose to iMessage (or Animoji) instead.
The Squad Members Who Posted So Far
Karlie Kloss
Rumors went around that Kloss and Swift weren't close anymore after Kloss's name wasn't included on Swift's new Junior Jewels T-shirt on Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do" music video, which listed other current squad members. Kloss went ahead today and put an end to that feud rumor with a birthday tweet and Instagram.
