Taylor Swift is making the most of her downtime between her international Eras Tour stops. The pop sensation, 34, took a break from her hectic schedule on Tuesday, June 11, to enjoy a glamorous girls’ night out in London. The star-studded evening saw Swift accompanied by a host of famous friends, including Kate Moss, Stella McCartney, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
The group, which also included Cara Delevingne, Lena Dunham, Andrew Scott, and Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, dined at the upscale Argentinean restaurant Casa Cruz in Notting Hill. Swift’s close friends, Este and Danielle Haim, were also part of the lively gathering.
Swift turned heads with her chic ensemble, donning a black corset top paired with matching pants and an oversized grey blazer. She completed her look with burgundy pumps and a black clock choker necklace. Kate Moss, 50, opted for a sophisticated white satin pencil skirt and blazer, while Delevingne, 31, sported a cropped teddy biker jacket from McCartney’s line, a simple white top, black pinstriped pants, and combat boots.
The night out came just before Swift’s series of U.K. concerts, including her 100th Eras Tour show. She is set to perform a trio of shows in Liverpool starting Thursday, June 13, followed by performances in Cardiff, Wales, and London.
Swift’s outing coincided with news about her ex, Matty Healy of The 1975, who confirmed his engagement to model Gabbriette Bechtel. The couple, who were first linked in September 2023, announced their engagement after attending Charli XCX’s Brat concert in Brooklyn. Bechtel shared a photo of her custom black diamond ring on Instagram, captioning it, “MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT,” and tagged Healy, who re-shared the post.
Healy’s mother, actress Denise Welch, confirmed the engagement on Loose Women, expressing her joy and excitement for the couple. “I couldn’t be more thrilled,” she said. “We couldn’t be happier — she is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law.”
Swift and Healy had sparked romance rumors in May 2023 but ended their relationship by June. A source revealed that their relationship was always casual and that they had parted ways amicably. Since then, Swift has moved on with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, whom she has been dating publicly since October. The couple was last seen enjoying a romantic getaway in Lake Como, Italy, in late May.
Swift’s London night out was a fashionable affair, with each celebrity bringing their unique style to the table. The evening was not just about fashion and fun but also a chance for Swift to unwind and enjoy the company of her close friends amid her busy tour schedule.
The singer’s choice of Casa Cruz for the evening added a touch of luxury to the night. The restaurant is known for its high-end menu, featuring dishes like a 250g beef fillet steak and a 1.2kg cote de boeuf, which can cost up to £140. The group arrived in black cabs, ready to indulge in the restaurant’s finest offerings.
Swift’s presence in London has been a topic of interest, especially given her relationship with Kelce and her recent performances in Edinburgh. The singer is believed to be staying at a luxurious £3.3 million farmhouse cottage in the Cotswolds between gigs. The countryside retreat offers a peaceful escape from the bustling city, allowing Swift to recharge before her next performances.
The farmhouse, located near Chipping Norton, is reportedly rented for the entire duration of her U.K. tour. It provides a serene backdrop for Swift, who enjoys the tranquility of the countryside. The area is also home to private members club Soho Farmhouse, a favorite among celebrities like the Beckhams and Amanda Holden.
Swift’s love for the countryside is well-known, and she has previously enjoyed rural getaways with her British ex, Joe Alwyn. The singer’s current retreat offers a perfect balance between her glamorous stage life and her love for the outdoors.
As Swift continues her Eras Tour, her London night out serves as a reminder of the importance of taking time to relax and enjoy the company of friends. The evening was a testament to Swift’s ability to balance her demanding career with moments of joy and connection, making the most of her time off the stage.
