Maya Myers PhotographyIs Laverne Cox Taylor Swift's new celebrity BFF?
E! News caught up with Cox, who stunned in a hot pink Nha Khanh gown, last night at the 10th Annual Global Women's Rights Awards in West Hollywood. The Orange Is the New Black star styled her chestnut hair in a fishtail braid with her bangs swept to the side. Cox has been quite busy these last few days with all of her events, and she's always dressed to impress in elegant and glamourous frocks!
And we're not the only ones who think Laverne looks fabulous, Taylor Swift also took notice!
Sunday night at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, Laverne and Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross presented Taylor with the award for Top Billboard 200 Album.
When Laverne and Swift walked off the BBMA stage, the two seemed to be chatting up a storm! We wondered what the duo talked about—maybe an extended version of the "Bad Blood" music video with Laverne?
Cox tells E! News, "She was so sweet! When she got her award, she said, 'Oh my gosh you look amazing!' I was like, 'Yes, thank you Taylor Swift!'"
Laverne gushed, "As we were walking back, she told me, 'Everyone around me when you walked on stage said you look amazing!'"
The conversation didn't end there, Swift invited Cox to her after-party, but Laverne couldn't go, because she wasn't feeling well. Laverne clearly was bummed about being sick telling us, "I had to leave early, even last night."
You can add Laverne to the list of famous stars who are fans of Swiftie, and Cox admitted she's even taking notes from the starlet. "She's such a doll, I'm such a huge fan of hers. I love her music, but I love how she interacts with her fans. The relationship she has with them is just…I take notes from that!"
It looks like we can now add Laverne to Taylor Swift's #SquadGoals!
