Following a major Grammy nominations announcement, global superstar Taylor Swift and pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter were spotted enjoying a stylish girls’ night out in New York City. The two singers, who recently collaborated on a song, were photographed on November 7 arriving for dinner at The Corner Restaurant, showcasing chic autumnal fashion.
Grammys Momentum Drives Celebration
The dinner date came just hours after the 2026 Grammy nominations were revealed, where Sabrina Carpenter scored an impressive six nominations. Her nods include the top categories of Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year for her work on “Short n’ Sweet,” along with Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Music Video.
Taylor Swift, whose latest album “The Life of a Showgirl” was released after the eligibility period for the 2026 Grammys, did not receive nominations this cycle. Her album will instead be considered for the 2027 ceremony. Despite this, the mood was celebratory as the two friends enjoyed their evening together.
Fashion Details of the Night
Both artists brought their distinct style to the New York evening, coordinating in luxurious accessories and fall-ready outfits.
Taylor Swift’s ensemble featured a $1,100 Thom Browne RWB Stripe-Detail Polo Shirt paired with the label’s $1,990 Gunclub Check Cheviot Tweed Pleated Mini Skirt. She accessorized with a brown The Row Half Moon Leather Shoulder Bag and $1,560 Gucci Horsebit Loafer Platform Slingback Pumps, a style she frequently wears. Her look was completed with sheer tights, gold bracelets, rings, and her signature red lipstick.
Sabrina Carpenter opted for a classic camel trench coat worn over a $545 Guest in Residence Cropped Cable Turtleneck Sweater. She paired this with black shorts, sheer black tights, and matching heels. Her accessories included a black Chanel bag and Pedro Garcia Satin Crystal Embellishments Sandals.
A Growing Friendship and Collaboration
Swift and Carpenter’s relationship has evolved from professional respect to genuine friendship. Carpenter opened for Swift’s record-shattering Eras Tour from August 2023 to March 2024, and the pair have grown increasingly close since.
Their friendship reached a new milestone when Swift featured Carpenter as the only guest vocalist on her latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” The two collaborated on the title track, a mid-tempo pop song that tells the story of a woman named Kitty who “made her money being pretty and witty.” The track ends with a personal touch: Swift says, “Give it up for the band, the dancers, and, of course, Sabrina,” to which Carpenter responds, “I love you, Taylor!”
Carpenter has long admired Swift, telling Rolling Stone last year, “I hold her to such a different echelon. I could never compare my life, my career, my trajectory to anything close to what she’s done.” This respect dates back to 2009 when a young Carpenter posted YouTube covers of Swift’s songs, including “Picture to Burn.”
Fan Reactions and Speculation
Social media erupted with photos and comments about the duo’s dinner outing. Fans noted their coordinated “loud luxury” accessories and strong fashion sense. One fan post on X (formerly Twitter) described them as “Queen and Queen,” celebrating both their style and apparent friendship.
The timing of their dinner, following Carpenter’s Grammy success and ahead of Swift’s wedding planning to Travis Kelce, has led to speculation among fans about their deepening bond. Some observers suggest Carpenter could potentially be part of Swift’s bridal party when she marries the NFL star.
Recent Professional Highlights
Both artists are currently at the peak of their careers. Carpenter’s album “Man’s Best Friend,” released in 2025, has sparked conversation for its exploration of female sexuality in pop music, drawing comparisons to Madonna’s earlier work. Meanwhile, Swift continues to break records with “The Life of a Showgirl,” which features more daring imagery and themes than her previous work.
The two previously performed together during a surprise songs set on the Eras Tour in New Orleans in 2024, where they played a mashup of Carpenter’s smash hit “Espresso” and Swift’s “Is It Over Now?” After the performance, Swift praised Carpenter on Instagram, writing that “She’s as real as they come and I’m so thankful she did that for us.”
Their New York dinner underscores a friendship that blends mutual professional respect with personal connection, marking another chapter in the evolving narrative of two of pop music’s most prominent artists.
