Taylor Swift fans had better start brushing up on their Shakespeare! The pop star might be welcoming her most prestigious squad members yet.
Esteemed British actor Patrick Stewart Tweeted Taylor on Thursday, requesting an invitation for him and fellow “X-Men” star Ian McKellen to join the singer’s entourage.
So @IanMcKellen recited Bad Blood and I did Blank Space on @NPRAskMeAnother. May we join the squad, @taylorswift13? https://t.co/liKBfSzIaU

The “Star Trek” captain and “Lord of the Rings” wizard have each performed dramatic readings of Taylor’s lyrics during recent public appearances. Stewart recited “Blank Space” while taping a guest spot on NPR game show “Ask Me Another,” while McKellen offered his spoken word rendition of “Bad Blood” in a Yahoo! clip posted on Wednesday.
