Taylor Swift can't imagine life without her famous friends.

The 24-year-old singer is good pals with singer/songwriter Lorde, model Karlie Kloss and actress Lena Dunham, and she feels extremely grateful for having such a close friendship group who she is constantly learning from.

She said: ''I've learned something from every single one of my girlfriends.

''It's crazy to think that I didn't used to have some of them in my life.''

The 'Out of the Woods' hitmaker has achieved worldwide success following the release of her debut self-titled album in 2006, but the blonde stunner is trying her best to ensure she doesn't turn ''weird'' and ''unapproachable'' because of her stardom.

She added to Metro newspaper: ''My life is really abnormal now. But I refuse to let this whole thing make me weird, unapproachable and impossible to have a conversation with.''

Taylor spent the evening with Karlie at the New York Knicks' basketball game last night (29.10.14) and she took to her Instagram account to post a picture of the pair at the match - which her home team lost 104-80 to the Chicago Bulls - and revealed the pair had a fantastic time at the spectacle.

She wrote: ''Karlie and I had the time of our lives at the Knicks game tonight. See you tomorrow bright and early on Good Morning America!''

Earlier today (30.10.14), Taylor took to the stage in Times Square, NYC, to perform three of her new songs, 'Shake it Off', 'Out of the Woods' and the very apt 'Welcome to New York' - from her new album '1989', which is expected to sell 1.2 million copies in its first week alone - on morning show 'Good Morning America'.

In between her set, the star - who completed her 86-date 'Red' tour in June - revealed she is going to be heading back on the road ''very soon''.

Speaking to show host Robin Roberts, she said: ''I am going to be going out on tour very soon! We're in the early stages of planning the actual show.

''I'm excited about announcing things when I can announce them, but it's going to be happening!''

Taylor - who moved to New York earlier this year - looked sublime as she performed in Times Square in a military-inspired dark blue pair of high-waisted shorts with gold detail as well as a blue top featuring gold thread detailing, and she teamed her look with a pair of striking gold heels.
