Hailee Steinfeld not close to 'squad' leader Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift's girl squad is beginning to splinter - Hailee Steinfeld has confessed she and the pop star are not that close.

The teenager appeared in Taylor's Bad Blood video and has joined the 26-year-old at a handful of celebrity events, but she tells Seventeen magazine that she and Swift aren't exactly besties.

She admits their friendship is largely limited to red carpet meetings.

"I think people think we spend a lot more time together than we actually do!" the True Grit star explains. "She's amazing though."
