Taylor Swift shared a warm moment with her close friend and stylist Ashley Avignone during Avignone’s birthday celebration in New York City. A photo posted by Avignone on Instagram showcased the two smiling in front of a vibrant cake that read, “Ash is 25 (again).”
“Happy birthday to me, emphasis on the happy,” Avignone captioned her Instagram carousel, which included a shot of her blowing out her birthday candles.
According to People, the celebration took place on Saturday at Chez Margaux, an exclusive members-only club in the Meatpacking District.
Earlier that evening, Swift, 35, was spotted holding hands with her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, as they appeared to be heading to the party. Swift dazzled in a black mini dress paired with a chic coat and Louis Vuitton platform heels. Kelce, also 35, opted for a bold look with a red denim outfit and a white T-shirt.
The pair had enjoyed a double date with friends Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley the night before at BondST restaurant in Midtown Manhattan.
An insider told Page Six that Kelce and Swift planned to spend the weekend together in NYC since Kelce didn’t have practice until Monday.
Swift recently completed her record-breaking Eras Tour earlier in December and is reportedly embracing downtime after feeling “burnt out” from touring for nearly 18 months. Another source revealed she is preparing to focus more on her personal life and plans to make Nashville a primary home base.
“It looks like this may be Taylor’s domestic era,” the source said, noting her desire to be closer to Kelce, her family, and her roots.
The couple, who began dating quietly in the summer of 2023, officially confirmed their romance that September during a Kansas City Chiefs game.
