You may have noticed that Taylor Swift [1] wasn't with boyfriend Joe Alwyn [2] at the 2018 AMAs, but she wasn't dateless. After winning the award for best pop/rock album, Taylor gave a shout-out to her pregnant friend Claire for accompanying her to the show. If this shout-out left you scratching your head, you're not alone — probably only Swiftie superfans know that Taylor was referring to jewellery designer Claire Winter Kislinger, one of her longtime best friends.
Claire is a known member of Taylor's BFF squad (and even made it onto Taylor's pajama shirt [3] from her "Look What You Made Me Do" video). Even though there's not a picture of Taylor in attendance, an eagle-eyed TSwift fan noticed [4] that the singer's name was on one of the place cards at Claire's wedding last year, and Claire is always sure to post a photo for Taylor's birthday. We've officially decided that the best kind of friend is one that joins you on the red carpet even when she's over four months pregnant [5]. Check out the gallery to see some sweet pictures of Taylor and her pregnant pal.
