Taylor Swift gives pal Ashley Avignone a big hug while celebrating her 40th birthday in NYC
Taylor Swift took some time out of her busy schedule to celebrate her friend Ashley Avignone’s birthday.
The 35-year-old Bad Blood hitmaker was among the guests at the stylist’s 40th birthday celebration in New York City on Saturday.
Avignone shared a few photos from the festivities to her Instagram on Sunday, including a photo of her and the superstar sharing a warm hug in front of a birthday cake.
The friends both matched in a long-sleeved black look, with Taylor – who attended the bash with her boyfriend Travis Kecle, 35 – rocking her signature red lipstick.
Swift also wore a chic gold diamond watch from Cartier Santos Demoiselle, which cost up to $31,000.
Another photo showed Ashley blowing out her birthday candle. The colorful cake was humorously written: ‘Ash is 25 (again).’

“Happy birthday, emphasis on the *happy*,” the designer captioned her post.
The birthday party was held on Saturday at the exclusive Chez Margaux members club in the Meatpacking District People.
Swift and Avignone met through mutual friend Emma Stone, and have been friends for 16 years.
Avignone has accompanied Swift to a number of Kansas City Chiefs games to cheer on the pop star’s tight end boyfriend.
Avignone also recently supported Swift at her own birthday party, an Eras Tour-themed bash hosted by Kelce.
Earlier on Saturday, Swift and her boyfriend were spotted holding hands as they headed to Avignone’s birthday dinner.
Despite the chilly temperatures, Swift put on a leggy show in a black minidress with a hem that stopped inches above her knees.
Taylor paired the ensemble with a long, black coat with sparkling, silver embellishments embroidered through the warm material.
The singer donned a pair of black open-toed heels to match the monochrome color scheme of her look.
Swift’s long blonde locks were parted in the middle and flowed effortlessly down her shoulders in elegant waves.

The artist carried a small, dazzling bag in her right hand, which held a few items she would need on the night out.
Taylor made the outfit even more glamorous by adding a pair of dangling silver earrings and a silver chain necklace.
Kelce looked vibrant, wearing a red denim jacket that was unbuttoned at the front and matching loose-fitting pants.
The professional NFL star added a white printed shirt underneath and slipped on a pair of black shoes tied with laces.
To complete the stylish ensemble for the evening, Travis added a cap to his head and also opted for sunglasses.
The couple – who had their first romantic relationship last year – were seen lovingly holding hands as they walked down a busy street upon arriving at the restaurant.
Just a day earlier, the lovebirds were previously spotted in the Big Apple for a double date with producer Jack Antonoff and his wife Margaret Qualley.
Swift and Kelce matched in coordinating looks as she donned a $5,500 wool Stella McCartney blazer with dazzling embellishments.

Earlier this week, a Chiefs insider opened up about Kelce’s plans for Swift during his team’s brief hiatus from the New day with SSJ podcast.
The Chiefs took on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, resulting in a 29-10 win for Kansas City.
While mentioning Chiefs coach Andy Reid, insider Pete Sweeney said: “I think Andy is done with the [Steelers] game and gave the guys some time to do what they wanted to do.”
“A tight end could be going to New York with his girlfriend, or a quarterback hanging out with his kids. Who knows what everyone else is doing.’
“But I think it’s a nice reset for these guys. All these guys will practice next week, but I don’t feel one percent that every starter of any significance will play in this game.”
Kelce will join the Chiefs on the football field next year on January 5 when they take on the Denver Broncos.
