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.

But then again, there were just about as many:
@taylorswift13 this is why I love you
— ashlee (@fiftharmonaye) June 17, 2015
And so the hashtag began:
@taylorswift13 @emilytesskatz just invited taylor rock climbing with me… Hence the need for the harness duh #harnesslife2015
— Shelle-A (@Wildestt_Dreams) June 17, 2015
For some, Taylor is clearly a spirit animal:
@taylorswift13 @emilytesskatz YOU ARE ME LITERALLY ME IM SO READY FOR THAT KIND OF STUFF
— Taylor Swift Updates (@SimplySFans) June 17, 2015
And a true equestrian:
Taylor Swift may have worn a harness better, but American Pharoah has the Triple Crown. … http://t.co/wy3W6XwHgS

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
— Jenny (@swiftfanatic13) June 17, 2015
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
— Dylan B PCD ;( ;( (@DylanB305) June 17, 2015
So casually cruel in the name of being harness. @taylorswift13 #HarnessLife2015
— YES ALYSSA. YES. (@Lyyssaaaa13) June 17, 2015
That said, there actually were some practical notes!
@taylorswift13 @emilytesskatz Taylor you can’;t go rock climbing with those shoes
— tia and mia (@donthateswift) June 17, 2015
Don’;t say we didn’;t warn you.
@taylorswift13 @emilytesskatz the more important question is why are you wearing it BACKWARDS. #taylortrends pic.twitter.com/RIi6XSbVEJ

One thing we know for sure: Tay loves “Fight Song.” (Girl power!)
@taylorswift13 @emilytesskatz she’;s also wearing @RachelPlatten’;s shirt! ????????????????
— Swiftly Swiftie (@AASwiftie13) June 17, 2015
Mostly, we should just be thankful that Swift inspired our new favorite comeback:
@taylorswift13 @emilytesskatz honestly. This is a good and valid point. Zoom zoom haters.
