    AS TELEVISIONS around the world switched to MTV for the Video Music Awards, one of the first things viewers likely saw was a group of 10 statuesque beauties towering a foot above the rest of the crowd, complete with flawless makeup and impeccably styled locks.

    No, scientists have not perfected human cloning — one of those women was up for an award.

    The other nine? Well, that was just her squad.

    Squad Goals, which in 2015 managed to enter our rhetoric as swiftly as selfie, hashtag and catfish did the year prior, has become millennial lingo for anyone seeking a close-knit yet undeniably fabulous group of friends — of which Taylor Swift and her pals have become the gold standard.

    But at what point did Swift’s gaggle of girlfriends shift from cool to creepy?

    It’s about more than just the fact that they all look similar — though it is eerie how tall, thin and polished most of Swift’s friends are.

    When Swift was announced as the winner of the Music Video of the Year, she and her squad all jumped synchronously, as if they’d been programmed beforehand, to celebrate the victory. Then, as one shiny, smiling unit, the 10 women flocked to the stage to accept the award that Swift, their brave and fearless leader, had won for them.

    But talk of Swift didn’t cease when the singer left the stage. Later in the broadcast, Serayah, best known for her role on Empire, took the time to give the pop star, whom she had accompanied on the red carpet, another shout-out.

    Majority of your threads barely even generate any replies.

    Is reaching plus really that important to you?

    Guys, a celebrity with a group of friends is now oppressive!

    This might be saddest & most reaching SJW article I've ever read.
