Taylor Swift’s new woman squad! Singer events in London’s Notting Hill

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 choker necklace and towering heels to match her lipstick shade.

Kate, 50, meanwhile wowed in a white satin pencil skirt and matching blazer for the plush dinner. 

Phoebe matched Taylor’s style in a camel coat laayered 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. 

Cara meanwhile left with fashion designer Stella and her singer girlfriend Minke. The model and designer matched in £1,590 Teddy biker jackets from Stella’s line.

Casa Cruz, where Taylor Swift was spotted dining, 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.

It narrowly avoided losing its licence after councillors voted to suspend it for six weeks following the furore over the incident, which saw Rita’s representatives offering the since-departed manager £5,000 for the illegal opening.

Cara has been a close companion of Taylor’s in recent years, but the US star has found herself a new London girl squad with the likes of model Kate, actor Andrew and writer and producer Phoebe.

Taylor and Cara are regularly seen out and about with mutual friends Selena Gomez and Blake Lively, but it appears Brit model Cara has introduced her old friend to a new London-based set of friends.

Last week Taylor made a secret dash visit to watch Cara perform in her West End show Cabaret, before heading to Edinburgh for her first UK gigs.

In a montage of snaps on her social media, Cara shared a photo of herself and Taylor wrapping their arms around each other as they posed in her dressing room. 

The two stars have been friends for years and are regularly seen hanging out together, most recently at a Kansas City Chiefs game in Buffalo, New York, where Taylor was supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce.

Cara previously shared her support for Taylor and Travis, speaking at the Las Vegas Grand Prix last year, saying: ‘I’m so so happy for her. There’s definitely something very different about them. I’m always rooting for my girl.’

More than 150,000 swifties from far and wide will descend on Liverpool for her three sold-out stadium shows at Anfield, taking place between June 13 and 15.

The Northern city, often dubbed the birthplace of pop, will morph into ‘Taylor Town’ from June 8 to celebrate the singer with a series of art installations inspired by some of her most iconic musical moments.

The undisputed Queen of pop is set to boost the British economy by almost £1 billion, a new report has revealed.

Researchers have calculated each Swiftie attending an Eras concert in the UK will spend on average £848 to see their idol perform.

The total is more than 12 times the average £67 cost of a UK night out and the Chancellor can expect a £997 million boost to the economy thanks to Taylor’s 15 tour dates this summer.

What’s on the menu at Casa Cruz? The Notting Hill restaurant where Taylor Swift was spotted

Casa Cruz, where Taylor Swift was spotted dining, is described as an ‘intimate, warm and elegant neighbourhood restaurant tucked into the leafy streets of London’s Notting Hill’.

The eatery is spread across two floors and boasts a large roof terrace and the food is inspired by South American cuisines.

Standout items on the menu include a 250g beef fillet steak, which the Anti-Hero singer could have dined on for £50, and a 350g rib eye steak, which costs £48.

A 1.2kg côte de boeuf would have cost £140, making it the most expensive dish on the menu.

Or, the star could have instead opted for a pasta dish such as paccheri, with cacio e pepe and bottarga (£25) or orecchiette al limone (£20).

Dessert options include an £18 pistachio tiramisu, a £17 chocolate sphere, or a crème brûlée and apple tarte tatin fusion which costs £16.

The restaurant also offers a flamboyant cocktail menu, with drink prices starting at £16.

The Gold Martini is the most expensive cocktail, consisting of 71 Gin and Colosia Fino Seco, and will have set the star back £30.

Meanwhile, the bottle that would set diners back the most is the Château Lafite Rothschild, Pauillac 1986, priced at a whopping £2,900.
