Taylor Swift and her backup singers have more than just a working relationship — they also vacation together.
On Saturday, January 4, Joslyn Gorman, one of the 35-year-old pop sensation's backup singers — who has toured with her for years — posted an Instagram carousel featuring two photos with Swift.
The first picture with the singer-songwriter includes Gorman and fellow Eras Tour backup singers Eliotte Nicole, Melanie Nyema, and Kamilah Marshall soaking up the sun on a boat in what appears to be the Sydney Harbor in Australia. The "Fortnight" hitmaker wears a colorful bikini, sunglasses, and a hat as she leans on Nyema while lounging on the couch. Swift pouts her lips and looks upwards while everyone else smiles and looks at the camera.
The other snap with Swift features the same group of women and the Eras Tour keyboardist, Karina DePiano, all glammed up. The "Bejeweled" singer is wearing a brown floral printed dress and chunky black platform heels, her hair pulled back, and she leans her head on Marshall's.
Gorman wrote a lengthy caption detailing what she learned in 2024 and even referenced one of Swift's songs, "Wildest Dreams."
"Joy is medicine. Grace is a beautiful gift that we don't give ourselves enough of. Don't sweat the small stuff, you have a life to enjoy. Generosity not only lifts someone else up, but it magically also lifts you up," Gorman began. "We are capable of way more than we can imagine. Strength and resilience is the result of discomfort and hard work. My chosen family is pretty freaking awesome. TikTok is very useful for travel plans. I am loved beyond my wildest dreams."
Fans took to the comment section of Gorman's post to point out Swift's appearance and express how much they love seeing these photos.
"You and Tay Tay ❤️❤️," one fan commented.
"The pics with you guys + tay is soo cute," a second fan gushed.
Another individual wrote, "Crazy how you get to spend time with THE taylor swift."
"Love the photo of you guys out on Sydney harbour," someone else commented.
