Chloe Grace Moretz Didn’t Want To Join Taylor Swift’s ‘Squad’

Chloe Grace Moretz claims that she was invited to join Taylor Swift‘s exclusive “squad,” but had no interest in it.

Chloe Grace Moretz On Swift’s Squad

Swift’s squad has been a dominating force in the headlines – from red carpets, to Instagram snaps and, of course, to the “Bad Blood” music video. Among the biggest names in the squad rotation have been Karli Kloss, Gigi Hadid, Hailee Steinfeld, Cara Delevingne, Lily Aldridge and Selena Gomez, who Moretz counts as a close friend.

Despite being friendly with Swift and having Gomez as a pal, Moretz rejected an invitation to be an official member of the squad, the actress said in her recent interview with Complex magazine. Why isn’t Swift’s squad – or any squad for that matter – for her?

“They appropriate exclusivity,“ Moretz told the magazine. ”They’re cliques!”

When pressed to go deeper into her feelings about Swift, Moretz demurred, telling the interviewer, “You know I can’t,” though saying of the “Blank Space” singer, “She’s a very talented person.”

While Moretz is intent on being tight-lipped when it comes to gossiping about the Hollywood social circle she could very well be a part of, she admits to being far more candid when it comes to her work. For Moretz, she feels it’s part of her job on the set of a movie to give input where needed to make a movie more palatable to young women like herself.

“If you hire me, you’re not going to get some little girl that’s just going to sit there and be this puppet for whatever you want to push on society,” Moretz told Complex. “There have been moments where I’ve read scripts and said, ‘Look, this has got to change. It’s not like you’re being a bigot, but it’s literally that it doesn’t even click with you because you don’t deal with it. But it clicked with me and I’m telling you, as a young woman, this is what has to change.’”

As for her upcoming Little Mermaid live action project, Moretz is happy to report that it won’t be laced with the sexism of the original Disney animated picture.

“We want to make this good for girls,” she said. “We can’t make this regressive tale in a modern world. We’re going to flip it on its head. It’s going to feel good for women and men in the sense that it’s not just appropriating feminism, and it’s not leaning on regressive stereotypes.”
