![Alex Turner + Josh Homme: The Arctic Monkeys frontman and Queens of the Stone Age leader's friendship dates back to 2009, when Homme co-produced the Monkeys' record Humbug. Their relationship is still going strong - Homme and Turner have spent most of the past few years batting praise back and forth, and they recently bonded further by reading out lyrics from their iPhone Notes on Homme's radio show.]()

![Taylor Swift + Lorde: Really, this could have been Taylor Swift + any female artist under the age of 30 (except KP, but we won't go into that again), but these two go on hikes together. Beverly Hills hikes, granted, but hikes nonetheless - and they look like times for beautiful, deep conversations.]()

![Haim + Lauren Mayberry: Ever since the Haim sisters went on tour with Chvrches, they've all been firm friends. Last week, they demonstrated this friendship via a Talkhouse podcast, during which, though Mayberry quite often struggled to get a word in, they showed themselves to be firmly enamoured with each other. The miscellaneous human in this picture are probably great too.]()

![Hudson Mohawke + Lunice: Before meeting Montreal producer Lunice, Glaswegian Hudson Mohawke admitted he didn't like the idea of working with another producer. However, after spending several days in a studio getting drunk on whiskey Mohawke and Lunice realised they had a special kind of musical chemistry. The result? The collaborative project TNGHT, which produced the kind of bass-y, hip hop/electronic beats rappers try to sell their own mother for. The project has since been disbanded, but we reckon these two will join forces again soon. [Photo: Dials]]()

![The Rudimental girls: The electronic group's debut Home wouldn't have been the truly great record it was if it wasn't for the excellent female vocalists who featured on it - step forward Ella Eyre, Becky Hill and Sinead Harnett. Alongside Ann Marie, who toured with the Hackney quartet throughout their string of festival dates in 2013, the ladies uploaded a video of themselves covering Lorde's 'Royals', dubbing themselves 'The Vaginas of Rudimental'. Amazing - please form a real band.]()

![Katy B + Jessie Ware: The two London singers are both the go-to vocalists for UK electronic producers at the moment, so it's no wonder they're pals. Jessie lent vocals to Katy's track 'Aaliyah' for her 2012 EP Danger, and the pair regularly send tweets of support to each other. Another duo we'd like to go for a drink with.

![Katy Perry + Rihanna: K Pez and RiRi are kind of like those girls at school who were allowed to wear makeup from the age of 9 and rehearsed dance moves in the playground whilst everyone else looked on in jealousy. We just really want to go on a night out with them, get drunk and discuss what Chris Brown and Russell Brand were like in the sack. Actually, maybe not Russell Brand.]()
