The singer enjoys downtime in the UK, joined by a star-studded ensemble including Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Kate Moss
Taylor Swift took a break from her global Eras tour to enjoy a night out in London, accompanied by a glamorous lineup of friends and celebrities. The 34-year-old pop icon was spotted at Casa Cruz, an Argentinean restaurant in Notting Hill, where she mingled with notable figures like Kate Moss, Stella McCartney, Andrew Scott, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
Among her companions were longtime friends Cara Delevingne and Lena Dunham, both residents of the city, along with Este and Danielle Haim of the band Haim, and music legend Chrissie Hynde. The gathering, captured in photos by MailOnline, showcased Swift’s chic fashion sense, as she paired a black corset with a tailored grey coat, accessorized with a clock choker necklace and striking deep red heels matching her lipstick.
Andrew Scott’s presence at the event added an intriguing dynamic, considering his friendship with Swift’s ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. Scott, known for his roles in “Fleabag” and “Sherlock,” is part of a group chat dubbed the Tortured Man Club, which allegedly inspired the title of Swift’s recent album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” However, Scott has dismissed direct links, instead praising Swift’s musical accomplishments in recent interviews.
