Before there was Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez and Karlie Kloss at T-Swift’s side there was simply one country-star Taylor called on to be a part of her two-woman squad.

Kellie Pickler and Taylor’s friendship was so deep at one point the country phenom even called Kellie a sister in an interview that was documented in a new fan book called, This Is Our Story.

“Kellie’s like a sister,” Taylor told The Reading Eagle in 2008. “People say we’re such opposites, but that’s what makes us such good friends. She’s incredibly blunt. I love that about her.”

“It was so cool jumping into someone else’s feelings for a minute and writing from their perspective,” Taylor said to CMT.com. “It was like I was writing my very first song. Exhilarating.”

Kellie also sang her praises calling Taylor her “closest friend,” and saying that she’s “smarter than a lot of 40-year-olds…and competitive.”
