Taylor Swift Finally Returns to Her Favorite NYC Spot in an Extremely On-Brand Dress

She's only been spotted a handful of times, usually on low-key dates with Travis Kelce. But on May 29, the she finally returned to New York City. Her first stop before announcing she had purchased her masters? Via Corota, a.k.a. the beloved Tuscan-inspired restaurant just three blocks north of Cornelia Street (IYKYK), for a late-night bite with Dakota Johnson. In true Swift form, she was snapped by the paparazzi en route to her car. Photographer @JosiahWPhotos shared a video of the sighting on Instagram. For her grand return to the West Village hotspot, the "Mastermind" singer sourced one of her favorite brands for off-duty occasions: Dôen, a celebrity-favorite dress label she's worn since at least her Folklore era. Just one week after she personalized the belted bag trend with the L.A.-based brand's Traveler Top and matching skirt, Swift continued her Dôen streak with the Benoit little black dress. The style was recently reimagined to feature a soft sweetheart neckline, ultra-slim straps, and a fitted bodice. Constructed from lightweight ramie (a linen lookalike), the LBD was mostly black, with a red, blue, yellow, and green pattern throughout. According to the website, it's a French block print straight out of the 1930s. View Deal Swift added a hint of Reputation-esque edge to the Dôen dress with a thick leather belt, courtesy of B-Low The Belt. Fittingly titled "The Phoenix," the black accent included gold hardware, plus double hanging chains. From there, the flowy A-line skirt stopped just below Swift's knee to reveal her strappy sandals. To no surprise, the Grammy winner chose red-bottom sandal heels from Christian Louboutin—the same designer behind her custom Eras Tour footwear, including the mismatched ankle boots she wore during the 1989 section. Then, Swift tapped into the celeb-approved belt bag trend with her current go-to Balmain purse. View Deal View Deal View Deal It's been a minute since Swift grabbed a bite in New York—five months, believe it or not. Her latest reservation was made on Jan. 17 at Nobu in the Financial District. Similar to her May 29 Via Carota look, Swift chose noir numbers, starting with an Area suit set and vintage Chanel earrings. Then, she slipped on one of her winter staples: over-the-knee boots from Chloé. A month prior, she hit up Chez Margaux (also a Swift signature) in a cozy Fleur Du Mal LBD. The legend accessorized it with a $33,200 Cartier watch, a Simkhai crystal coat, and platform shoes from—you guessed it—Christian Louboutin. All this to say? Swift's Dôen dress is so on-brand for her New York nights. Now that Swift has returned to the Big Apple, it's only a matter of time before she steps out again. Since she's already dined at Via Carota, maybe she'll hit up Zero Bond, Chez Margaux, or The Corner Store this weekend. Fingers crossed some of her celebrity friends join her.

Has Taylor Swift officially replaced Blake Lively with Dakota Johnson? Inside the dinner that's fueling Hollywood feud rumors
Taylor Swift's recent dinner with Dakota Johnson in NYC has ignited fan speculation about her inner circle dynamics (Getty Images) Taylor Swift's recent dinner outing with actress Dakota Johnson in New York City has sent fans into a frenzy—not just because of their shared history, but also due to rising speculation over Swift's inner-circle dynamics. On May 29, the pop icon was seen at Via Carota, a favorite celebrity haunt in the West Village, enjoying a meal alongside Johnson, her brother Austin Swift, and Jesse Johnson, Dakota's brother. A stylish reunion in NYC raises questions about Taylor Swift's evolving inner circle What made this particular sighting notable is the rarity of Taylor Swift and Dakota Johnson being seen together publicly. Despite their friendship reportedly dating back nearly a decade, sightings of the two have been infrequent. However, longtime fans may recall a 2016 birthday post by mutual friend Cara Delevingne, which featured the pair FaceTiming—an early glimpse into their off-camera connection. — TSwiftNZ (@TSwiftNZ) While their public appearances have been scarce, admiration between the two is no secret. Johnson notably described Taylor Swift as "the most powerful person in America" during her Saturday Night Live monologue in January 2024. She doubled down in a March interview, identifying herself as a 'proud Swiftie' and highlighting Swift's unmatched 'work ethic, songwriting, and kindness to her fans.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo The renewed public sighting, therefore, signals more than just a dinner—it underscores a shared respect and possibly a rekindled closeness amid changing tides in Swift's high-profile social life. Speculation swirls over Blake Lively rift amid legal drama This sighting also comes at a time when Taylor Swift's relationship with longtime friend Blake Lively is under scrutiny. Reports suggest Lively's legal clash with It Ends With Us actor Justin Baldoni may have affected her bond with Swift. According to court reports, Baldoni's team alleged that Lively tried to use Swift's influence in the dispute, even reportedly pressuring her to speak out in support. Although a subpoena directed at Swift was later dropped, the situation sparked rumors of distance between the once-tight duo. At Via Carota, Swift looked radiant in a floral-print dress paired with Christian Louboutin heels, embodying her signature blend of elegance and confidence. Johnson, equally striking in a black ensemble and cropped leather jacket, seemed relaxed, suggesting genuine camaraderie.

Taylor Swift and Dakota Johnson Do Girls Night the Swiftie Way
It's a week for celebrations in camp Swift, as Taylor Swift was able to buy back the rights to her first six albums, a final end to her years-long battle to own her own music. How else could the pop star celebrate, but in true Swiftian 'Style.' Following the Taylor Swift book of girl's night out-dom, the musician headed out in New York City with friend and actor Dakota Johnson. They were joined later by Swift's brother Austin, and Johnson's brother Jesse, to head to Swift's favorite Italian restaurant and celebrity bolthole Via Carota. Photo: Swift opted for a look that fits with her feminine aesthetic and love of accessories: A flirty floral fit and flare tea dress by the all-American girl-loving Dôen, to which she added a thick black, gold-chained belt. She wore a pair of strappy black and red-bottomed Christian Louboutin stilettos, and carried a Balmain black and gold bag. Swift finished the look with layers of gold necklaces, gold drop earrings, and gold bracelets on each wrist. For glam, she wore her signature long blonde hair back in a ponytail and a full set of bangs, with a slick cat eye, and red lip and matching manicure to also match her heels and the rose details in her dress. Johnson, meanwhile went for a slinky black dress with a cropped black leather jacket and sheer black kitten heels. The journey from private car to Via Carota has become something of a runway for Swift, often photographed dining there with girlfriends (like Blake Lively, Sophie Turner, and Gigi Hadid) and partner Travis Kelce. You'll catch her slipping into her usual red mini-dresses, plaid skirt suits, leathers and denim, and fairy-esque tulle skirts to grab some pasta and Tuscan cuisine at the West Village spot. Backgrid While sightings of Swift have been more rare in recent months, she and Kelce were spotted at Harry's in West Palm Beach, Florida, having a meal, and before that celebrating Mother's Day with Kelce's family in Philadelphia earlier on in the month. Since the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl loss in February and Swift's wrap-up of her mammoth Eras Tour at the end of last year, they've kept things low-key. But likely, the couple will be toasting her masters win somewhere.
