Bella Hadid gave some insight on her close bond with sister Gigi Hadid — and shared how Taylor Swift plays a part in it.

While on The Drew Barrymore Show May 13, the model and entrepreneur, 27, opened up about her relationship with Gigi, which like any sisterhood, involves quarrels, but special moments too. 

“It’s inevitable to fight, but it’s always to know [sic] you’re going to come back from it,” Bella said, adding that she and her older sibling, 29, go through life as "best friends."

Bella also admitted they went through the “regular sister stuff" growing up, like stealing each other’s clothes, deciding who got to call shotgun and then who was responsible for picking the music.

“She was a Swiftie, I loved Lil Wayne. That was really hard for the school drives,” Bella remembered. 

Over the years though, she’s become a big fan of the “Fortnight” singer. “Taylor’s amazing and she’s just the most humble, sweet, adorable human being,” Bella gushed.

Swift and Gigi have been friends for around a decade and have supported each other since they met. Gigi, who was a part of the Grammy winner’s 2015 “Bad Blood” music video, has, in recent months, attended multiple shows on Swift’s Eras Tour. Earlier this week, she and Bradley Cooper flew out to Paris to attend a concert with Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce

Swift, in turn, has stepped out in Gigi’s cashmere brand, Guest in Residence, before, specifically at the AFC Championship game in January.

Bella’s close-knit support system also includes her famous mom, Yolanda Hadid

“The way that my mom has supported me, loved me, been my advocate and my ride or die for so many years. She gave us the best ways to grow up.” 

She also reflected on how the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 60, was there for her when she moved to New York City to study film and photography at Parsons, when she kickstarted her career while struggling with Lyme disease, and even, up until now, helped her launch her skin parfum line, Orebella

“She pushed me to keep going back into those big rooms where I felt small,” she added.

Host Drew Barrymore opened up about wanting to cultivate that same “level of trust, closeness and respect,” with her two daughters — Olive, 11, and Frankie, 10 (both of whom she shares with ex-husband Will Kopelman).

“Everybody at 14, 15, 16 has like, you know, mama doesn’t know everything [mentality]. Then all of the sudden you get to your twenties and I’m like, 'My mom not only knows everything, but can teach me the world,'" Barrymore shared. "Even the things she doesn’t know, I know that she knows somewhere in the back of heart. She's just that brilliant. She taught me how to navigate life with being strong and hard-working and to be the best in what I can do.”
