That awkward moment when you meet your bestie for lunch wearing…a harness?
Unless you’re Taylor Swift, in which case, nothing to see here! The “Blank Space” crooner, 25, stepped out for a date with her BFF Selena Gomez, 22, on Tuesday, June 16. And while the Unofficial Patron Saint of Crop Tops’ belly button was all covered up, she still confidently turned heads in her little ensemble, thanks to the causal addition of a slate, leather harness.
Oh, you have questions? Swizzle has answers:
@emilytesskatz in case anyone wants to go zip lining or rock climbing last minute OBVIOUSLY
— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) June 17, 2015
She also added this via Tumblr: “Ask yourself… Are you ready for extreme adventure should it present itself? HARNESS LIFE 2015.”
Totally understandable! Right? Please.

But then again, there were just about as many:
<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” data-conversation=”none” lang=”en”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”><a href=”https://twitter.com/taylorswift13″>@taylorswift13</a> this is why I love you</p>— ashlee (@fiftharmonaye) <a href=”https://twitter.com/fiftharmonaye/status/611058790767570945″>June 17, 2015</a></blockquote>

For some, Taylor is clearly a spirit animal:

Those people believe we should just leave Britney alone:
Why does @taylorswift13 have to explain her clothing choices? The answer should simply be she wore the harness because she felt like it

But who can resist a good lyrical pun?
@taylorswift13 @emilytesskatz IM DOWN FOR IT, I KNOW PLACES ( no pun intended) WHERE WE CAN DO THAT

So casually cruel in the name of being harness. @taylorswift13 #HarnessLife2015

That said, there actually were some practical notes!

Mostly, we should just be thankful that Swift inspired our new favorite comeback:
