EXCLUSIVETaylor Swift’s new girl squad! Singer parties with some VERY famous faces in London
Taylor Swift has found herself a new London girl squad, enjoying a night on the town in Notting Hill on Tuesday night as she takes a few nights off the Eras tour.
The singer, 34, who is back on stage in Liverpool on Thursday night, let her hair down at Argentinean restaurant Casa Cruz alongside a new posse of girlfriends.
Taylor was joined by Kate Moss, Stella McCartney, Andrew Scott and Phoebe Waller Bridge while old pals Cara Delevingne and Lena Dunham, who both live in London, also joined the party.
Completing the lineup was Taylor’s close pals, Haim sisters Este and Danielle and music legend Chrissie Hynde.
Taylor looked gorgeous in a black corset layered under a tailored grey coat and accessorised with a clock choker necklace, which she previously wore to the Grammys in a nod to her album Midnights.
She finished off her look with towering heels in a deep red to match her lipstick shade.
Kate, 50, wowed in a white satin pencil skirt and matching blazer for the plush dinner, finishing her look with fishnets and platform heels.
Stella MCartney was the designer of choice for the night out, with Taylor, Phoebe and Cara all sporting picey looks from their mutual friend.
Taylor’s moulded corset costs £1150, while her pinstripe wool coat is £1,509.
Phoebe matched Taylor’s style in a £2,065 camel coat from Stella layered over a head-to-toe black look, beaming as she left the restaurant in a black cab with her Fleabag co-star Andrew, who couldn’t stop smiling after the fun night out.
Andrew is a good friend of Taylor’s ex boyfriend Joe Alwyn with the two’s Tortured Man Club group chat alongside Paul Mescal believed to have inspired the title of Taylor’s latest record, The Tortured Poets Department, a claim which Andrew has since downplayed.
The actor has previously revealed he texts Taylor, gushing recently that he messaged the star to congratulate her on TTPD, gushing: ‘I think she is just a force of nature, just an extraordinary human, and this album is really, really amazing.’
The singer meanwhile is an outspoken fan of Andrew’s pal Phoebe, having first met when Phoebe hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in 2019 where Taylor was the musical guest.
Back in 2020 Taylor wrote a letter in support of the writer for the Time’s 100 list of the most influential people.
Cara left Tuesday’s dinner her singer girlfriend Minke and Stella as well as Stella’s daughter Bailey Linda Olwyn Willis, 17, giggling as they piled into a car together.
Model Cara and designer Stella matched in £1,790 Teddy biker jackets from Stella’s line for the dinner at Casa Cruz, which is described as an ‘intimate, warm and elegant neighbourhood restaurant tucked into the leafy streets of London’s Notting Hill’.
Taylor and co could have chosen to dine on the likes of a 250g beef fillet steak for £50 or a 1.2kg côte de boeuf would have cost £140, making it the most expensive dish on the menu.
The restaurant is where Rita Ora hosted her lockdown flouting 30th birthday bash in November 2020.
