Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart cover Taylor Swift songs on NPR's 'Ask Me Another' show.
The pair took on the popstar's hits in their trademark voices giving the songs a much darker and theatrical feel. Afterwards, Patrick Stewart took to Twitter to ask Swift: "May we join the squad?" to which Swift replied: "Thanks for reciting my lyrics, @IanMcKellen and @SirPatStew! You've made my day. You two are ULTIMATE Squad Goals".
McKellen took on 'Bad Blood' whilst Stewart took on 'Blank Space'.
Listen to the pair's renditions below:

In an open letter explaining why she planned to hold back her album, 1989, from their new streaming service.
