Hailee Steinfeld reveals the truth about Taylor Swift’s squad

“I think people think we spend a lot more time together than we actually do,” Hailee Steinfeld shared of Swift in the September issue of US magazine Seventeen.

“She’s amazing, though.”

Steinfeld, 19, who appeared in the singer’s star-studded music video for Bad Bloodlast year, recently launched a music career. And as the actress-turned-pop star told the mag, she hopes to be just as successful as Swift, 26.

“I have so many short-term and long-term goals with both movies and music,” Steinfeld explained. “I’d really love to have an experience like True Grit again. And with the music, I want to make the best first album I can possibly make. And I want to get to a level where I can headline my own arena tour. I know that I can make it happen. It’s just the beginning. I see the future being really big.”

Though her debut EP Haiz hit number 57 on the Billboard 200 in 2015, Steinfeld revealed her biggest battles aren’t on the charts, but often within herself.

“I definitely had moments where I’m scrolling through Instagram and see these drop-dead gorgeous models, who we tend to forget are genetically a certain way, and think, ‘Why can’t I or don’t I look like that,’” she said.
But as Steinfeld reminds herself, beauty comes in a variety of forms.

“It’s so easy to forget that we are all so beautiful because we’re unique,” Steinfeld added.
