Taylor Swift seen out in NYC for first time since Joe Alwyn breakup news

And by the way, she’s going out tonight.

Taylor Swift has broken cover for the first time since the news of her breakup from Joe Alwyn came to light.

The 12-time Grammy winner, who is currently on her blockbuster Eras Tour, was spotted out and about in New York City on Monday night — just two days after news of her split sent shockwaves across social media.

Swift was seen stepping out with longtime pal and musician Jack Antonoff, who has worked with her on her most recent album, “Midnights.”

The pals were joined by Antonoff’s fiancée, Margaret Qualley, at Italian restaurant Via Carota.

The NYC hotspot sits just four minutes away from Cornelia Street — a notable title of her track from Swift’s 2019 “Lover” album, which is widely believed to reference her romance with Alwyn.

The singer previously rented a home on Cornelia Street, which she also references in the hit song.

Swift kept her outfit casual, but accessorized with a pop of bling — proving she will always be “bejeweled.”

The “Karma” hitmaker opted for a black off-the-shoulder top and high-waisted jeans that featured a rhinestone butterfly cutout.

Her clutch also glittered, and she completed her look with a signature red lip.

Over the weekend, Page Six reported that Swift and Alwyn broke up a few weeks ago.

We were told the split “wasn’t dramatic,” and that “the relationship just ran its course,” a source said.

Reps for Swift, 33, and Alwyn, 32, did not comment.

Swift kicked off her sold-out Eras Tour on March 17, and eagle-eyed fans noticed that Alwyn had been absent from her shows.

The pair first met at the 2016 Met Gala and started dating a few months later before going public with their relationship in 2017.

She details their first interactions in her hit song “Dress” from her 2017 album, “Reputation.”

While they opted to remain very private about their romance, the couple was hit with a slew of engagement rumors throughout the course of their ill-fated romance.

“I’m aware people want to know about that side of things,” Alwyn told Vogue in 2018. “I think we have been successfully very private and that has now sunk in for people.” 

Swift briefly touched on the privacy aspect of their relationship in her 2020 documentary, “Miss Americana.”

“We decided together we wanted our relationship to be private,” she said. “Even though [my public image in 2016] was really horrible, I was happy.”

“But I wasn’t happy in the way I was trained to be happy. It was happiness without anyone else’s input. We were just… happy,” the singer added.

The “Lavender Haze” songstress’ exes famously include Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer, Harry Styles, Calvin Harris, and Tom Hiddleston.
