Taylor Swift came out of hiding for a delicious dinner out in New York City Thursday night.
The “Cruel Summer” singer was spotted rocking up to her go-to Italian restaurant, Via Carota, in the West Village, according to videos circulating online.
Swift was joined by Dakota Johnson as well as her brother, Austin Swift, and the “50 Shades of Grey” actress’ brother, Jesse Johnson.
Taylor, 35, wore a black floral dress cinched at the waist with a chain and strappy black stilettos and a pendant necklace.

Taylor appeared to be in high spirits and smiled as onlookers’ jaws dropped in shock.
“Best night of my life,” one Swiftie who was dining at the renowned eatery captioned a video of Taylor’s visit.
