Camila Cabello opened up about how Taylor Swift helped her during testing, especially after her exit from Fifth Harmony. When, in December 2016, Camila decided to leave the all-girl group, it was almost like a breakup; she was very distraught. Taylor Swift was lovely and became a good listener, giving valuable advice.
It was through their familiar friend Hailee Steinfeld that Camila and Taylor became friends. When Camila was going through her first big breakup, Taylor reached out with a breakup playlist and invited her over for a girl’s night out, which also included the Haim sisters. All this laid the beginning of a close and helpful relationship between the two artists.

After Camila departed from Fifth Harmony, Taylor encouraged her to write songs about how she felt then. That was among the factors that kept Camila writing tons of songs; many did not make it into her debut album, “Camila,” but served as critical emotional outlets. She described writing out feelings as crucial to her healing and creative process.
Camila has taken time often to thank Taylor for her support and made it clear that their relationship is pure and founded on mutual respect and accurate understanding. She’s also gone out of her way to protect Taylor at all costs, especially when fans started speculating that Taylor was behind her ultimate decision to leave Fifth Harmony. Camila made it clear that it was her choice, and Taylor had nothing to do with it.
