Learn more about the highly talented trio who are also close friends of Taylor.<\/p>\n

Haim is a family operation<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The sisters come from a super musical family<\/a>, and each began playing instruments when they were young. They had an early cover band called\u00a0Rockinhaim<\/strong>, which also included their parents Moti<\/strong> and Donna<\/strong>. Haim was then formed in 2007, and became truly legit in 2013 with the release of their first album —\u00a0Days Are Gone<\/em>.<\/p>\n

By the time they released\u00a0Women In Music Pt. III\u00a0<\/em>in 2020, however, the group began to embrace releasing more recently written music — including the tune “Summer Girl.” Danielle went on to reveal they’d “never written a song and then just decided a couple days later that we were going to release it into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sisters have a tight bond, and that’s only been strengthened through their music over the years. “We’ve always been a three-woman show,” Alana, the eldest, said in an interview to Coupe de Main<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>magazine. “We’ve always been the CEOs of our company. And honestly, all we need from the people around is just support,” the 34-year-old confidently added.<\/p>\n

They’re Grammy nominees<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Haim could be going home with a Grammy<\/a> on Sunday, March 14! The trio were confirmed to be nominated in\u00a0two\u00a0<\/em>major categories<\/a> for the upcoming ceremony, earning nods in Best Rock Performance for their track “The Steps” and earned a coveted nomination for Album of the Year for\u00a0Women In Music Pt. III<\/em>. Notably, Haim\u00a0was first nominated for Best New Artist in 2015, though they lost to Sam Smith<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I mean, my body is ready to go on tour and to play live and to play these songs,\u201d she youngest sister said. Danielle revealed it was “bittersweet to bring the record out into the world when we couldn\u2019t actually go out and tour it.\u201d Here’s to a tour post-pandemic!<\/p>\n

They’ve collaborated with Taylor before<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before collaborating on Taylor’s track “No body, No crime,” the sisters opened up for Taylor during her 1989 World Tour<\/em><\/a> in 2015. Haim performed before Taylor during her stops in Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, and St. Louis, among other cities. The sisters were practically members of Taylor’s “squad”<\/a> by the end of the tour.<\/p>\n
