Handling a breakup is no big deal when you have Swift's plan in place

EMBRACE THIRD-WHEELING

There is zero shame in hanging out with two friends who just so happen to be dating! Especially when you look stunning in the process. Swift was spotted leaving bestie Gigi Hadid's N.Y.C. apartment along with the model and her boyfriend, Zayn Malik, during Fashion Week.

And look really, really good doing it. Just one night after her split from Tom Hiddleston was announced, Swift went out with model pal Lily Aldridge in New York City, both of them looking chic and happy (the best revenge). This brings us to another tenant of Swift's philosophy: red lipstick cures all ills.

AVOID ANY AND ALL 'BAD BLOOD'

After Swift's split from Calvin Harris in June, the singer stayed mum about the whole thing; the only time she personally acknowledged the split was by retweeting a tweet from Harris – which he later deleted – that said they had "a huge amount of love and respect" for each other. (Harris has taken a slightly different approach, recently talking about their split to GQ: "All hell broke loose.")

Did we mention that looking good (and feeling good) is the best revenge? Hit the gym like Swift did one day after her split from Hiddleston. She was even smiling! We have never smiled within 20 feet of a gym, so props to her.

MEET CUTE BOYS

Just weeks after her split from Harris, Swift was spotted getting cozy with Tom Hiddleston, whom she ended up dating for three months as they traveled around the world together and lived the life we have always wanted.

SPEND TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY

Extra points if that time is spent grilling or chilling on a farm, as is the Swiftian way.

At the CMT Music Awards in Nashville, Swift's pal Camila Cabello told E! that her pal was doing just fine after she'd split from Harris. "She's good. She was just in Nashville," she said. Swift's friend Kelsea Ballerini told ET that Swift could take whatever hardship came her way. "She's incredible. She's a strong chick. I'm sure she's fine."

HAVE CATS (SEVERAL, IF POSSIBLE)

It is scientifically proven that owning cats dramatically reduces feelings of post-breakup sadness.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: SHAKE IT OFF

And maybe order some pizzas?
