Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> and Ellen Pompeo<\/strong><\/a> may seem like an unlikely duo, but a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em> the Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> star and the pop powerhouse are becoming fast friends bonding over mutual admiration and a passion for doing good and Ellen\u2019s now looking like the next likely candidate to join Taylor\u2019s squad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEllen adores Taylor and the feeling is mutual,\u201d the insider says. \u201cThey\u2019re obviously very far apart in age and have very different lifestyles, but that has never gotten in the way of a friendship for Taylor before.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The source notes the \u201cCruel Summer\u201d singer, 35, values the wisdom of her older friends just as much as the energy of her younger ones. \u201cJust look how close she is to Hugh Jackman<\/strong> \u2014 that just goes to show that age isn\u2019t really something Taylor pays much mind to. If she likes someone and clicks with them, she wants them in her world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s not a total surprise Taylor would hit it off with the Good American Family<\/em> star<\/a>, 55, though. She\u2019s been a huge fan of Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> and named one of her Scottish Fold cats \u201cMeredith Grey\u201d after the series\u2019 lead played by Ellen. Even 10 years ago the two shared a friendly rapport, with the actress appearing in Tay\u2019s star-studded \u201cBad Blood\u201d music video, but now a decade later, their relationship is growing deeper and more personal.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s a huge Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> fan so she was giddy the first time she met Ellen,\u201d the insider shares, \u201cbut they\u2019ve now moved past that and have become comfortable peers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Both women have had hugely successful careers so far, with Ellen starring full-time<\/a> on the Emmy-winning series for 19 seasons and only recently stepping back from the role to focus more on her advocacy work and producing and the \u201cShake It Off\u201d singer spending the last year breaking cultural ground with her record-smashing Eras<\/em> tour, which has become one of the highest-earning tours in history.<\/span><\/p>\n While they inhabit fairly different corners of the entertainment world, both have used their fame and platforms to support causes including LGBTQ+ rights, voter registration and access to healthcare.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a huge mutual respect between them and the next time Taylor is in L.A. they\u2019re planning to meet up,\u201d the source continues. \u201cEllen likely won\u2019t be coming out partying<\/a> with Taylor and the gang, but dinner dates with her husband Chris<\/strong> [Ivery<\/strong>] and Travis<\/strong> [Kelce<\/strong>] certainly seem plausible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n While Taylor\u2019s squad is famous for boasting high-profile artists and socialites like Selena Gomez<\/strong>, Gigi Hadid<\/strong> and Cara Delevingne<\/strong>, it\u2019s apparent she\u2019s open to welcoming mentors and collaborators from all generations. Her longtime friendship with Jack Antonoff<\/strong> is rooted in creative partnership and she called Carole King<\/strong> \u201cone of the most important people in my life\u201d during her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame speech in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEllen\u2019s got so much experience in Hollywood and has really broken down barriers,\u201d says the source. \u201cSo no doubt Taylor will want to pick her brain on that, and who knows? They may end up producing something together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
