Taylor Swift celebrated her 34th birthday alongside her friends Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid and other A-list pals in New York City on Wednesday.

The 12-time Grammy winner stunned in a sequin black Clio Peppiat minidress and black faux fur coat draped over her arms as she arrived at upscale restaurant Freemans with Lively, 36.

The pair were pictured getting out of a black SUV alongside Swift’s security team, before Lively, who was clad in a leather midi dress, held out her hand to help the singer into the venue.

Other stars who attended Swift’s birthday celebrations were the star’s close friends, supermodel Gigi Hadid, Sabrina Carpenter, Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski, Este and Alana Haim, Miles Teller and wife Keleigh Sperry.

Following their intimate dinner, the group are said to have continued the party at exclusive nightclub, The Box.

Noticeably absent from the festivities was Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce, who a source told MailOnline is “really excited” to celebrate with her.

Swift recently opened up about her relationship with Kelce as she was named Time’s Person of the Year 2023.

The All Too Well singer revealed in her cover interview how their relationship “all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell”.

Speaking about how they kept their romance under wraps in the beginning, she shared: “We started hanging out right after that.

“So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”

The Anti-Hero singer sent fans into a frenzy when she made a surprise appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game in September.

She was pictured in Kelce’s suite alongside his mother Donna, and was later seen cheering after the tight end scored a touchdown.

At the time, many speculated if that was their first date.

Now clarifying their relationship timeline, Swift confirmed that they were already a couple back then, telling Time: “I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.

She has since been seen at multiple games and out with Kelce, who has also addressed his relationship with Swift on his podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.

They also both made a surprise appearance during Saturday Night Live’s season premiere in October with Kelce featuring at the end of a skit which poked fun at their romance.

The NFL player, 34, has also been spotted at the Eras Tour alongside her dad Scott Swift and recently, the pair went viral following her concert in Buenos AiresArgentina when the singer was seen running into Kelce's arms backstage and giving him a kiss.

Discussing how public their romance has seemed, Swift shared: “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.

“The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
