As you may know, Taylor Swift and Lena Dunham are friends.

As much as she’d like to think otherwise, however, Lena is not Taylor’s bestie, as the BFF title belongs to Karlie Kloss.

In fact, Swifty has so many female celeb-friends these days that Lena may not even crack her top ten.

We’re not saying that Taylor is some sort of 25-year-old Regina George, lording over the world’s most exclusive chick clique with an iron fist, but we are saying that Lena is gunning for that number one spot, and it can’t be easy to feel like she’s in constant competition with a thong of Victoria’s Secret models. (“Thong” is the proper term for a group of VS models, FYI.)

Lena has been working out a lot lately, and it probably has nothing to do with her desire to please Lord Taylor, but the ever-reliable Star magazine claims that it does, so let’s go with it.

“Lena has really confided to Taylor about her insecurities,” says one anonymous source. “Taylor was sympathetic at first but finally got tired of Lena’s constant pity party and told her that if she was so unhappy with her weight, she needed to get a trainer and do something to make a change.”

The insider says Taylor’s tough love approach worked and Lena has recently been on a “physical fitness kick.”

There was a time when it would’ve been impossible to imagine Swifty offering such advice to a friend, but the new NYC HBIC Taylor is so no-nonsense that we wouldn’t be surprised if she tells random strangers on the street that they need to start doing some squats.

Hopefully, at some point in her intervention with Lena, Taylor added, “And maybe stop telling the world about your sister’s vadge while you’re at it.”
