Taylor Swift might be going through a rough patch in her friendship with Blake Lively, but she’s still keeping her ties to Hollywood through her friendship with another A-list actress.

In photos obtained by People, the 35-year-old pop star stepped out in New York City on Thursday, May 29, for dinner at celebrity hotspot Via Carota. There, she was joined by Dakota Johnson, 35, and their brothers, Austin Swift, 33, and Jesse Johnson, 42.

The West Village restaurant is one of Swift’s favorite spots, and she’s been there with celebrity besties from Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley to Sophie Turner, but this is the first time she’s been spotted there with Johnson.

Johnson and Swift have given glimpses of their friendship in the past. In 2016, their mutual pal Cara Delevigne posted a photo for Johnson’s birthday that showed them Facetiming Swift. In January 2024, Johnson also shouted out Swift in her SNL monologue, calling her “the most powerful person in America.”

She also described herself as a Swiftie in a March 2024 interview with Bustle. “I just find her existence really radical in the sense of what it literally means,” she said. “Not rad or cool, but radical, and I’m totally into it. She’s a fabulous songwriter. She works so hard. She is really kind to the people that love her. I’m just like, do you, girl. I support.”

However, this is the first time they’ve been seen together in several years.

Fans will certainly be glad to see Swift out and about again after lying low for several months amid her alleged feud with Lively. In her legal battle with Justin Baldoni, the It Ends With Us actress was accused of using Swift to coerce Baldoni into accepting her changes to their 2024 movie. Baldoni’s legal team also claimed Lively tried to demand that Swift publicly support her amid the lawsuit.

A subpoena for Swift was eventually dropped by Baldoni’s team, whom Lively’s team has accused of exploiting the singer’s fame to sensationalize their case.
