Longtime besties Taylor and Selena had a very special girls’ night out to toast a massive career win.
On the night of May 31, 2025, the two were spotted arriving at the iconic Monkey Bar in New York City for a celebratory dinner. Inside the restaurant, Swift and Gomez were photographed deep in conversation, seated alone at a dimly lit table.
The Midnight Rain singer wore a sequined black Gucci mini skirt and a matching black tank top, paired with chunky silver platform sandals, a black mini handbag, dainty diamond jewelry, and her signature red lips.
Meanwhile, Selena contrasted her bestie’s look with a tan halter top and khaki dress pants, topped with a matching oversized blazer. She completed the ensemble with metallic brown pointed pumps, chunky gold hoop earrings, and her stunning engagement ring.

Taylor Announces Game-Changing Career Move On Instagram
Taylor and Selena’s girls’ night out came just a day after the Love Story singer made a major announcement on Instagram.
On May 30, Swift revealed that she had officially purchased the master recordings of her first six studio albums, Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation, marking a massive win in her years-long battle for ownership rights with record executive Scooter Braun.
With this move, the pop icon finally gains full control over the original versions of the albums. To share the news, she posted a carousel of four photos on Instagram, showing herself sitting on the floor of a portrait studio surrounded by the six albums.
Referencing her 2008 hit You Belong With Me, she captioned the post,
“You belong with me.
💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤”
Following the announcement, the Only Murders In The Building star celebrated her bestie’s win by reposting Taylor’s original carousel on her now-deleted Instagram Stories, adding a supportive all-caps caption,
“Yes you did that Tay! So proud!”
Earlier, on March 27, 2025, during an interview with iHeartRadio, Gomez revealed that Swift is always the first to hear her unreleased music and she doesn’t hold back her honest opinions. She shared,
“She definitely will say that one’s okay. I think that one’s good. It’s just very helpful. I love people who are honest [like that]. I value her opinion so much, because she’s super honest. I like to see what she thinks”.
