"Will I let distance stop me from celebrating my best friend's bday?" Swift captioned a photo of the cake. "I mean I could but why would I want 2."

"What I love about that friendship is it's so solid, and with Taylor, I feel like they can tell each other anything, and it will be an honest, in-your-best-interest kind of relationship," Teefey said. "It's not about anything else, and it's one you don't just find out here."

"They came up together, they just have never parted, so it's really a true friendship," she added.
