The Victoria's Secret Angel and the pop superstar are BFFs and are part of a bigger group of pals that includes Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne.
Lily feels very lucky to have such a ''close-knit group'' of female friends who are all supportive of each other and earn their livings in similar ways.
In an interview with NET-A-PORTER's weekly digital fashion magazine The EDIT, Lily said: ''Taylor just loves her friends, and so do I. My girls are my girls. We're such a close-knit group of women, and the most special thing about our group of friends - and it extends so far - is that we all have each other's backs. It's about supporting and being happy for each other. When you lift up the people around you, it elevates you as well. Bringing everybody up is the way I hope the whole world changes.''
Lily relies on the reassurance of her friends when she gets sent abuse by trolls on social media.
The supermodel - who has three-year-old daughter Dixie with her husband, Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill - reads most of the messages she is sent Twitter and Instagram and is often stunned by the hateful and hurtful things people choose to post.
She said: ''People say such mean things to me on Instagram, and I'm like, 'I see this! I read every comment!' They're so hurtful. You see it and think, 'Why would you say that to anyone?' It's heart breaking that people say these kinds of things to each other. It blows my mind ... I try to be authentic and post pictures of myself and my job. I keep my family stuff as private as possible, but there are some things that I want to post, like a cute picture of my daughter that's too precious not to share.''

10. Tell us more about your collab with Taylor Swift for the Hunger Games Soundtrack.
Oh man that’s so many years ago now! Taylor came to one of the very first shows The Civil Wars did in Nashville and when we hung out backstage we struck up a friendship. That kept going then we caught up with each other, she called me out of the blue while The Civil Wars were on tour and said “I’m working on a song for the Hunger Games Soundtrack with T Bone Burnett, I’d love it if you could join us”. John Paul and I had actually just worked with T Bone on our own song for the Hunger Games Soundtrack. So there was that familiarity there with T Bone and Taylor, they’re wonderful. We sat down at T Bone’s house close to Beverly Hills with some guitars and words and melodies started flowing. Everybody contributed, that was the greatest thing. Sometimes when you get in a room with that many people it can feel a bit stunted but it felt like we were in the living room as a family band. We recorded all of the vocals that same afternoon, which are the vocals you hear on that same recording. That was such a great day, I remember I had just found out that I was pregnant and I was sick as a dog so I also remember trying not to throw up most of the time! All worth it in the end definitely!
Me & IBeMe been spilling tea on Twitter. Let's hope they don't find us from the tweets.
