Taylor Swift’s Kool Kids Klub (they may want to rethink that name) just got a little kooler, now that buddies Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen have been invited to join. We already showed you Gandalf’s “Bad Blood,” but Captain Picard also did something T-Swift-themed, dramatically reading “Blank Space” on NPR. Like a desperate boyfriend, Stewart reached out to Taylor:
So @IanMcKellen recited Bad Blood and I did Blank Space on @NPRAskMeAnother. May we join the squad, @taylorswift13? https://t.co/liKBfSzIaU

Taylor quickly made it so:

They’re officially #Squad. Once they walk around with the Stone of Triumph, that is. (The stone is actually Karlie Kloss and Lena Dunham rolled into a ball.)
OMG I DIE!!! (no really, I might. I'm old.) https://t.co/q4u7FIcMYr

Please do not die, Patrick Stewart. Like, ever.
