Stepping out for a glamorous night in Beverly Hills, Taylor Swift captivated onlookers in a chic black mini dress during an evening out with friends Brittany Mahomes and Lindsay Bell.
The 34-year-old pop sensation, amidst the backdrop of controversy within her circle, showcased her timeless style in California. The controversy ignited following the publication of an opinion piece in the New York Times on January 4, questioning Swift's sexuality, despite her apparent romance with Kansas City Chief's Travis Kelce.
Swift, however, didn't let the turmoil dampen her spirits as she enjoyed a night at the popular restaurant Spago with her new friends, as captured in pictures by DailyMail. Meanwhile, Kelce and his teammates were in town for a game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sunday.
The New York Times' story, penned by Anna Marks, stirred discussions about Swift's sexuality and suggested she might be concealing it due to her 'affinity for queer identity.' This speculation led to discontent among fans and reportedly caused tension within Taylor's inner circle.
Amidst the controversy, a friend of Swift pointed out the gendered aspect of the situation, noting, 'This article wouldn’t have been allowed to be written about Shawn Mendes or any male artist whose sexuality has been questioned by fans,' as reported by CNN. Interestingly, Marks had previously written a similar article questioning Harry Styles's sexuality.
Swifties, as well as Taylor's close friends, have directed their dissatisfaction toward The New York Times. Oliver Darcy shared with CNN, 'I've learned that they are not pleased to say the least,' emphasizing the strong reactions from both fans and personal acquaintances of the singer.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift has been spotted exclusively working out at the Dogpound Gym in West Hollywood during her stay in LA, showcasing her dedication to both her craft and wellness.
