Trending Now: The shocking details of Taylor Swift gossiping with Selena Gomez over dinner after finally gaining control of her music empire REVEALED: “And Fans will love this”

Taylor Swift & Selena Gomez Reunite for Glamorous Night Out in NYC

Taylor Swift reunited with longtime friend Selena Gomez for a star-studded ladies’ night in Midtown Manhattan on Saturday. The pop icons, affectionately dubbed “Taylena” by fans, were spotted dining at the upscale Monkey Bar inside The Hotel Elysee.

The restaurant, which was closed for a private event at 6:30 PM, is known for its dim lighting, monkey-shaped lamps, murals by caricaturist Charlie Vella, and an extensive 20-page wine list.

In a snap shared by gossip blog DeuxMoi, Taylor was caught with her mouth agape—seemingly stunned by something Selena said. Fans flooded Instagram comments with speculation.

“I wonder what Selena told her,” one user wrote, earning over 1,200 likes. Others chimed in:
• “Selena is always telling Taylor the surprising [tea]. I love them.”
• “Honestly, it’s really sweet that Selena and Taylor have remained friends for so long—far from just ‘industry’ friends.”
• “The world is healing,” another added.

The two, now 35 and 32, first met in 2008 while dating Jonas Brothers members. Over 15 years later, their friendship appears stronger than ever.

Some fans speculated the duo were gossiping about Blake Lively, who allegedly threatened to release a decade’s worth of private texts unless Taylor publicly supported her amid legal drama involving Justin Baldoni. One commenter wrote:
“Dying to know what was said about Blake.”

But the evening may have also been a celebration. Swift recently reclaimed ownership of her first six studio albums—Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation—after a $360M deal with Shamrock Capital. This follows years of public tension with music executive Scooter Braun, who sold the masters after purchasing them from Big Machine.

“I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen,” Swift wrote on her website. “I’ve been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening… all of the music I’ve ever made now belongs to me.”

Selena was among the first to congratulate her publicly, posting on Instagram Stories:
“Yes, you did that Tay! So proud!”

While Taylor celebrated in NYC, her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, was in Kansas City for the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend, helping raise a record $4.53M for Children’s Mercy Hospital.

Selena, too, has had plenty to celebrate. She got engaged to music producer Benny Blanco in December after 18 months of dating. The two first met during a business meeting in 2008 when she was just 16, and Blanco later worked on her 2015 album Revival.

Gomez has also been busy filming season five of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, reprising her role as artist Mabel Mora alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short. The trio reportedly earns over $600K per episode. New cast members include Renée Zellweger, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, and Jermaine Fowler.

Looking ahead, the Rare Beauty founder is set to portray legendary singer Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biopic directed by David O. Russell and produced by Ronstadt’s former manager John Boylan.
