Rock 'n' roll and the runway have always shared a magnetic pull.
From the wild, glamorous unions of the '70s and '80s to today’s cool, grounded couples, rock stars and models have long been a match made in pop-culture heaven, with models often acting as muses for their rocker partners, with songs written about them, and album cover and music video appearances.

She then told Taylor that, while chasing her, the girls were yelling: “We hate you!”.
