Taylor Swift fans have been accused of 'ruining Friends' after song lyric 'connections' to show have been revealed.

The fandoms of the beloved throwback sitcom and the 34-year-old 'Cruel Summer' singer are arguably some of the biggest ones out there.

So, it seems only natural that there would be quite a lot of debate online when the two seemingly had a cross-over.

One of the many Friends fan accounts on Instagram shared a compilation video of a bunch of 'references from Friends in Taylor Swift lyrics'.

'Guys like you never go out of style'

Up first is a clip of Chandler reading Rachel's note to her love interest at the time to the gang at Central Perk: "Joshua, give me a call sometime.

"Guys like you never go out of style."

It then cuts to the lyrics of Taylor's 'Style' track which read: "'Cause we never go out of style / We never go out of style."

'Mr Right Place at the Right Time'

The second clip sees Janice telling Ross: "Okay, you, Mr Right Place at the Right Time," before cutting to Taylor's 'Mr Perfectly Fine' which uses a similar phrase.

The lyrics go: "Mr 'Always at the Right Place at the Right Time', baby."

'When I was 15, my daddy bought me my own boat!'

The third sees Rachel telling Joey: "You know, Joey, I could teach you to sail if you want."

"You could?" asks Joey before Rachel replies: "Yeah! I've been sailing my whole life!

"When I was 15, my daddy bought me my own boat!"

Swifties were quick to notice this line was very similar to Taylor's 'no body, no crime' song.

She sings: "Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteen."

In the same scene, Pheebs sings: "There was a girl we'll call her Betty and a guy let's call him Neil."

Now, this is a bit of a reach, but Taylor's 'betty song' goes: "Betty, I won't make assumptions about why you switched your homeroom."

'A song about a love triangle between three people that I made up'

And the final clip sees Phoebe playing a gig at the coffee house telling the audience: "This is a song about a love triangle between three people that I made up," during that whole Ross-Julie-Rachel saga.

It then cut to an interview between Taylor and Jimmy Fallon where she tells him: "There's a lot going on.

"There's, like, a fictional love triangle between three fictional teenagers in the Folklore album."

So, what do the fans think?

Many absolutely loved the references with one Instagram user writing: "Who did this? We must protect them at all costs!!!! Thank you for synching two of my most favorite things in this whole wide world!!!!!"

A second chimed in: "That right there is why I love pop culture and I feel very sorry for people who don‘t get the references!"

"Damn I love this! Such an iconic show and singer!" gushed a third while a fourth praised: "

Another added: "Omg! I just love her more now! How can anyone not love her?"

And a final fan echoed: "I love her because this."

Others, however, clearly weren't as chuffed with the Swiftie X Friends cross-over with one hitting out: "Oh noooo......don't ruin the show."

A second begged: "Please don't ruin Friends."

"Please DO NOT ruin this show for millions of us!!!" chirped a final Instagram user.

What do you make of it?
