The "Bitch Better Have My Money" star talks their conflicting #squadgoals.

Taylor Swift has had Nick Jonas, Joan Baez and the US women's soccer team join her on stage during her 1989 World Tour. There is a YouTube video that imagines Taylor inviting Eve, from Adam and Eve, to the delight of a sold-out arena. To some, though not all, this stunt has become the epitome of #squadgoals.

NME just asked Rihanna whether she, like Julia Roberts, would join Taylor on stage. (Julia says that Taylor asked her at the last minute, leaving no time for her to wash her hair beforehand.) Per Cosmopolitan, Rihanna says she wouldn't: "I just don't think it makes sense. I don't think our brands are the same: I don't think they match, I don't think our audiences are the same. In my mind she's a role model, I'm not."

Rihanna's instincts are spot-on. Once, Taylor assured that 1989 isn't what she calls "evil pop": “We wanted to keep this pop clean and good and right, and if it’s stuck in your head I want you to know what the song is about as well.” Meanwhile, the last word that comes to mind with "Bitch Better Have My Money," whether the song or video, is "clean."
