While promoting his upcoming film Mr. Holmes, Ian McKellen visited Yahoo! to share some of his “favorite lyrics.” He ended up reciting some of the words to Taylor Swift’s latest hit “Bad Blood” as well as Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk.”
McKellen wasn’t the only actor to dramatically read Swift’s lyrics this week. Patrick Stewart read the lyrics to “Blank Space” on NPR’s Ask Me Another segment. The full episode will air on August 20th.
Stewart then decided to tweet Swift and ask if he and McKellen could join her squad:
So @IanMcKellen recited Bad Blood and I did Blank Space on @NPRAskMeAnother. May we join the squad, @taylorswift13? https://t.co/liKBfSzIaU

Swift tweeted a response back:
Thanks for reciting my lyrics, @IanMcKellen and @SirPatStew! You’ve made my day. You two are ULTIMATE Squad Goals: pic.twitter.com/pJZY6T5Lq8 — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) July 16, 2015
