The 33-year-old singer donned a high-waisted plaid miniskirt and a matching ankle-length coat. Her ensemble was complemented by a low-cut black bodysuit and semi-sheer tights, accentuated by classic black heels that enhanced her statuesque silhouette.
Swift’s look was completed with her signature red lipstick and winged eyeliner, embodying classic glamour. In the festive spirit, she sported metallic red nails on one hand and green on the other. Her dirty blonde hair cascaded in waves, with her fringe styled to one side.
Carrying a brown leather purse, Swift appeared ready to embrace the energy of the Big Apple. Surrounded by security, she dined at Paros Tribeca, an upscale Greek restaurant in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood, with longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff.
Often seen at New York hotspots such as Via Carota in the West Village and the exclusive Zero Bond in NoHo, Swift arrived in the city via private jet from Kansas City, where she’ll spend the next two months with Kelce.
Despite the abrupt nature of her return, the timing aligns with her nomination for TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year, with the winner set to be announced on Wednesday. Some fans speculated that Swift’s quick trip to New York might involve filming for the Today Show, which recently revealed the finalists.
Returning to her luxury penthouse apartment for the first time since the South American leg of her Eras Tour, Swift hit the Dogpound gym nearby within an hour of landing. She previously traveled from Sao Paolo to Kansas City, then to London and back within 24 hours to attend Beyoncé’s Renaissance movie premiere.
It remains uncertain whether Swift will return to Kansas City before her 34th birthday on December 13, or if Kelce will join her in New York for the celebrations.
Swift’s Tuesday outing followed her recognition by Forbes as one of the world’s most powerful women, landing at number five on the list. Forbes highlighted her record-breaking Eras Tour, which has earned nearly $850 million from 66 U.S. shows, pushing her net worth to $1.1 billion after a $190 million post-tax income from the tour’s first leg.
Forbes also noted the economic impact of her tour, with cities hosting Eras shows experiencing significant boosts in spending. Her tour’s influence is likened to that of a major corporation, reflecting its vast economic reach.
Swift’s Eras Tour concert film, released in October, also contributed to her financial success, earning $93 million during its opening weekend and over $250 million globally. Her high-profile romance with Kelce and the re-recording of her music following a masters controversy further highlighted her multifaceted impact.
