The two reportedly got close through their mutual friend, Emma Stone, when they were still teenagers.

The three attended the premiere of Easy A, Stone’s breakout movie, in 2010 together before also accompanying the Poor Things actress to the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscars party.

To prove that Avignone is part of Swift’s exclusive inner circle, which also includes the likes of Selena Gomez, Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Haim sisters, Swift wrote a hidden message to her in her 2012 album Red.
