Taylor Swift joins Lena Dunham birthday dinner
Taylor Swift was photographed out for dinner in New York City on Tuesday night, as a friend’s Instagram post revealed she joined a small group celebrating writer-director Lena Dunham ahead of her 40th birthday. The gathering drew attention because it brought together Swift with Dunham and several other high-profile names at a popular West Village restaurant.
Actor Mr Andrew Rannells shared a group selfie taken at Via Carota that showed Swift seated alongside Ms Emily Ratajkowski, Ms Dunham and Ms Ratajkowski’s boyfriend, French filmmaker Mr Romain Gavras.
Swift was also pictured arriving at the restaurant wearing a white Retrofête minidress, the same look captured by paparazzi as she entered the venue with longtime friend Ms Ashley Avignone. The dinner comes as Dunham marks a milestone birthday and continues to speak publicly about her friendship with Swift, which dates back more than a decade.
In recent interviews tied to Dunham’s memoir Famesick, she described Swift as one of her best friends and praised her support, while Swift has also publicly engaged with Ratajkowski in the past, including commenting on a TikTok video featuring the song “Karma”.
