During her stylist friend Ashley Avignone’s birthday festivities in New York City, Taylor Swift enveloped her in a big, joyful hug.

A snapshot shared on Avignone’s Instagram on Sunday captured her with the pop icon in front of a vibrant birthday cake, which bore the playful message, “Ash is 25 (again).”

“Happy birthday to me, focus on the *happy* ,” Avignone wrote under the series of photos, which included an image of her making a wish while blowing out her candle.

People magazine reported that Avignone’s birthday bash took place on Saturday at the exclusive Chez Margaux club located in the Meatpacking District.

Earlier that evening, Swift, aged 35, and her partner, Travis Kelce, were seen hand in hand, apparently heading to her best friend’s birthday dinner.

The 14-time Grammy winner was dressed to impress in a black mini dress, a matching coat, and Louis Vuitton platform heels, while the Kansas City Chiefs star, also 35, sported a red denim ensemble with a white T-shirt.

The duo also enjoyed a double date with friends Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley at the BondST restaurant in Midtown on Friday.

A source informed Page Six that Kelce and Swift planned to spend the entire weekend together in NYC, as Kelce wasn’t required at practice until Monday.

The Chiefs’ next face-off against the Denver Broncos is scheduled for January 5.

Swift, on the other hand, finds herself with plenty of free time after concluding her record-setting Eras Tour earlier in the month.

Sources revealed that the artist felt “burnt out” after a grueling year-and-a-half on tour and was “definitely looking forward to some downtime.”

Another insider shared with Page Six that the “Cruel Summer” artist was gearing up for a quieter, more domestic phase and plans to mainly reside in Tennessee.

“It seems that Taylor is entering her domestic chapter,” one insider explained last week. “It also appears that Nashville will be more of a home base than either LA or NY, given its proximity to Kansas City, and her mother, Andrea, is quite fond of Nashville as well.”

Silent about their relationship at first, Swift and Kelce began dating in the summer of 2023 and made their public debut as a couple at a Chiefs game in September.
