Taylor, 33, joined her celebrity friends for a group dinner at Emilio’s Ballato for an Italian meal.

The musician was joined by a slew of actors and models, with married couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds spotted joining the star.

Another couple was present in the form of Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum, while models Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne rounded out the group.

Taylor seemed to have fun in the city ahead of Tuesday’s MTV VMAs, at which Taylor is nominated for several awards.

For the outing, Taylor looked glam but relaxed in a summery powder blue dress.

The dress cinched in at the waist, showing off her arms and legs with a plunging neckline.

She teamed the dress with wedged sandals of the same shade, and had a cream purse slung over her shoulder.

Taylor had her hair tied back in a ponytail with her bangs loose over her forehead, and wore her trademark winged eyeliner with a bold red lip.

The star’s friends were all dressed in similarly fashionable outfits, and looked chatty and happy as they left the restaurant after their meal.

ON THE OUTS

While Taylor is known for her close-knit friendship groups, not everyone has stayed in the in-crowd.

Karlie Kloss, 31, and Taylor were once so close that Karlie reportedly had her own room at Taylor’s New York City apartment.

They took several road trips up Highway 1 along the California coast, and Taylor told Teen Vogue that Kloss was like sunshine personified.

The duo reportedly fell out when Karlie invited her friends over to Taylor’s house without asking her permission first.

A source claimed Taylor “alienated” the American star after “something crazy” happened, and was reportedly “furious” with the Victoria’s Secret model.

Taylor was noticeably absent from both of Karlie’s weddings to her husband, Joshua Kushner, in 2018..

Karlie then appeared to confirm that she was no longer pals with Taylor, as she holidayed with Scooter Braun, with whom Taylor has had many public fights over the rights to her music.

LOVE LOST

Joe Alwyn and Taylor broke up in April 2023  after six years together.

Taylor – who is busy with her sold-out Eras tour – and Joe reportedly split “a few weeks” before the separation was made public.

Entertainment Tonight was the first to report the shocking news citing an unnamed source which was then confirmed by People.

ET was told: “It was not dramatic. The relationship had just run its course.

Taylor quickly moved on with another British celeb; The 1975’s frontman, Matty Healy, with whom she’s had an off-and-on relationship since.
