Engaged in a delightful chat, Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid were spotted dining together in New York City on Tuesday night. Gossip account DeuxMoi shared images of the two friends enjoying their time in a secluded booth at Waverly Inn, a popular West Village restaurant. An eyewitness remarked that it “seemed like some gossip was being spilled.”
One photo captured by the insider and posted by DeuxMoi depicted the “Cruel Summer” singer and Hadid leaning closely together as they savored their meal. According to the observer, there was “lots of giggling and whispering” exchanged between the 34-year-old pop star and her 29-year-old model friend.

“The whole restaurant was on major alert, and the staff was so rude about it lol,” the source added, mentioning that staff were “shushing everyone who even said, ‘that’s Taylor Swift.’” The two stars reportedly made a discreet entrance into Graydon Carter’s iconic venue through the kitchen. They arrived around 7:30 p.m. and enjoyed their dinner for two hours before leaving.
Swift sported her hair pinned back and wore a bubble-skirted black Simkhai dress priced at $845, complemented by Gucci slingback heels worth $855 and a sparkly silver purse. Hadid opted for a more casual look, letting her long hair flow in voluminous waves and wearing a brown leather jacket with coordinating boots and a red skirt.
The restaurant’s ambiance was warm and inviting, highlighted by its famous red walls adorned with Christmas lights and green garlands. Having frequented this downtown eatery for both girls’ nights and romantic evenings with her boyfriend Travis Kelce, Swift has made many memories there.
After her breakup with Tom Hiddleston in 2016, she visited the Manhattan hotspot with friends including Cara Delevingne, Jack Antonoff, and Lorde. She has also been spotted dining casually with Lena Dunham and Dakota Johnson.
Last year, Swift enjoyed cosmos there with Phoebe Bridgers and later returned for a cozy evening with her NFL star boyfriend. This upscale American restaurant is known for its comfort food, serving favorites like chicken pot pie and mac & cheese.
