Taylor Swift Has a New Actress in Her Inner Circle Amid Blake Lively Feud
Taylor Swift might be going through a rough patch in her friendship with Blake Lively, but she's still keeping her ties to Hollywood through her friendship with another A-list actress.
In photos obtained by People, the 35-year-old pop star stepped out in New York City on Thursday, May 29, for dinner at celebrity hotspot Via Carota. There, she was joined by Dakota Johnson, 35, and their brothers, Austin Swift, 33, and Jesse Johnson, 42.

The West Village restaurant is one of Swift's favorite spots, and she's been there with celebrity besties from Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley to Sophie Turner, but this is the first time she's been spotted there with Johnson.
Johnson and Swift have given glimpses of their friendship in the past. In 2016, their mutual pal Cara Delevigne posted a photo for Johnson's birthday that showed them Facetiming Swift. In January 2024, Johnson also shouted out Swift in her SNL monologue, calling her 'the most powerful person in America.'
She also described herself as a Swiftie in a March 2024 interview with Bustle. 'I just find her existence really radical in the sense of what it literally means,' she said. 'Not rad or cool, but radical, and I'm totally into it. She's a fabulous songwriter. She works so hard. She is really kind to the people that love her. I'm just like, do you, girl. I support.'
However, this is the first time they've been seen together in several years.
Fans will certainly be glad to see Swift out and about again after lying low for several months amid her alleged feud with Lively. In her legal battle with Justin Baldoni, the It Ends With Us actress was accused of using Swift to coerce Baldoni into accepting her changes to their 2024 movie. Baldoni's legal team also claimed Lively tried to demand that Swift publicly support her amid the lawsuit.
A subpoena for Swift was eventually dropped by Baldoni's team, whom Lively's team has accused of exploiting the singer's fame to sensationalize their case.Best of SheKnows

Tacos El Ultimo Baile to close Oakland shop, move to San Francisco's Ikea food hall
After originating in Oakland and spending a decade in the city, Tacos El Ultimo Baile is closing up shop and moving across the bridge to San Francisco. "It seems like it's a little brighter on that side," said owner Dominic Prado Prado says his taco business has taken different forms over the years: a popup, a food truck, and most recently, a restaurant at Fruitvale Public Market. The restaurant opened in October of 2022, but less than two years later, in July of 2024, it was forced to close. "People are not out as much as they used to be," said Prado about the current state of the Fruitvale District."People are not out here at all." He said there's very little foot traffic, and he believes people don't feel safe there. That inspired him to run for Oakland City Council last November, he called out elected officials and police over safety issues in the area. He ultimately lost to Noel Gallo. Now he's keeping his business afloat with catering jobs and he's trying to sell the Fruitvale location. "What I've seen here is a lack of investment, a lack of attention," said Prado. "A lack of respect for the people who live here and work day to day." He also felt a lack of support from The Unity Council, the non-profit corporation that owns and oversees the public market. He was vocal about it. "I think I spoke up when no one else wanted to about the situation here and I'll continue to do what I can, but I didn't make the change I wanted to see," explained Prado. "If you take a stroll through international, you'll see some of the conditions there and that's what's been the hardest part." So he's taking his northern Mexican-style wood-fired tacos to San Francisco. At the end of the month, he'll be moving into a location at Saluhall, the Ikea food hall on Market Street. "Saluhall has been welcoming, they're eager, they're excited," said Prado. "The PR team that they have is going to work wonders for my brand. Oakland is a tough place right now. It's not welcoming. There's not a lot of support for small businesses." Prado said he's impressed by the investment he's seeing from the new San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie. Prado thinks he's incentivizing small businesses and cleaning up the area around Market Street. "We live in major cities and there's always going to be some kind of element, but I think what they're doing downtown in San Francisco at Market is actually really promising," said Prado. Prado's agreement is for a four-month trial, with an option to extend if the business is successful. We reached out to The Unity Council for comment, but they did not respond at the time of this report.
