Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid Share a Glamorous NYC Dinner and a Decade of Friendship

On a recent evening in New York City, Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid stepped out of the upscale Zero Bond restaurant, smiling for photographers as they made a stylish exit together. The pair’s coordinated looks drew attention, mixing glamour with relaxed city energy.

Swift chose a sleek mini dress layered under a roomy jacket, accessorised with gold jewellery and eye-catching animal-print boots. A delicate but prominent touch completed her look: the engagement ring she received from her fiancé, NFL star Travis Kelce.

Hadid’s outfit offered a softer contrast — a satin polka-dot blouse tucked into wide-leg velvet trousers, topped by a matching oversized blazer. She wore her hair in a neat slicked-back bun and finished the ensemble with pointed pumps and minimal jewellery, projecting effortless polish.

A Decade-Long Bond

The friendship between Swift and Hadid spans more than ten years, beginning after their meeting at an Oscars after-party in 2014. Since then, they’ve been frequent supporters of one another: Hadid has been spotted cheering at multiple stops on Swift’s Eras Tour, and Swift was present in spirit for the arrival of Hadid’s daughter, Khai.

In 2023, Hadid surprised Swift with a personalised ring that incorporated her cat Benjamin Button, Swift’s lucky number 13, and Kelce’s football number 87 — a testament to their close connection.

Swift has spoken openly about her engagement, telling audiences on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that, “I look at my ring constantly; it still doesn't feel real.” The couple shared photos to confirm their engagement with the playful caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
