Veteran Actors Join Taylor Swift's 'Squad'

Unlikely Taylor Swift superfans Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen will become official members of the pop star's celebrity "squad" when they join her onstage in Los Angeles.

The Bad Blood singer has five dates booked at the Staples Centre from August 21 and unlikely Swift fan Stewart has confirmed he and his X-Men castmate are making plans to attend one of the concerts.

"(She's) coming to town. I think we're working on that. I mean, she's invited us into her squad!" Stewart has told E! News.

"Whatever I wear I'm sure it will be outshone by Sir Ian - I can promise you that," he added.

The two veteran actors confessed their love for Swift last month and begged her to invite them into her inner circle, which includes pals like models Lily Aldridge, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez and Girls star Lena Dunham.

During a recent US radio interview the thespians recited the lyrics to Swift's most recent hits.

Stewart took to Twitter afterwards, writing: "So @IanMcKellen recited Bad Bloodand I did Blank Space on @NPRAskMeAnother. May we join the squad, @taylorswift13?"

The singer was alerted to the correspondence and responded, "Thanks for reciting my lyrics, @IanMcKellen and @SirPatStew! You've made my day. You two are ULTIMATE Squad Goals."

Swift also posted several photos of the actors, including one of Stewart's wedding day in 2013, which was officiated by McKellen.

Thrilled Stewart couldn't contain his excitement in a follow-up tweet, writing, "OMG I DIE (no really, I might. I'm old.)"

Swift's tour dates have become all about her surprise guests - she has recently shared the stage with the stars of her Bad Blood video, the US women's soccer team, rapper Fetty Wap and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his girlfriend Ciara.
