But since the 33-year-old was feeling especially friendly after making amends with Taylor, she added one more important piece of advice: "Be as pleasant as possible and take everything with a Himalayan grain of salt."

Could her recent change of attitude also have something to do with the rumors that she and on-again/off-again beau Orlando Bloom are back together?

She also said, "Trust the people that brought you here," she added. "Keep them around." Was she referring to Taylor here?
