Taylor Swift stunned fans as she changed up her signature look on Tuesday while stepping out for dinner in Sydney's Surry Hills.

The pop princess, 34, said goodbye to her stylishly coiffed blonde locks and sported a golden mane of unstraightened hair that cascaded over her shoulders in natural waves.

The Pennsylvania native also rocked a more muted makeup and lipstick palette in contrast to the fiery red rouge she frequently sports on stage.

Taylor also did away with the vibrant and colourful stage outfits she wore in Melbourne last week and rocked a more casual look, in a black sleeveless blouse paired with a tan skirt.

The Shake It Off hitmaker accessorised her off-duty look with a delicate necklace, and a jet black belt to cinch in her waist.

Despite rocking a look worlds away from her trademark Eras Tour style, Taylor still exuded confidence as she rocked her best angles while waving to the crowd.

Swift looked every inch the low-key stunner as she made her way to a waiting vehicle as legions of fans tried to catch a peek of her.

She quite literally stopped traffic on Tuesday night when she stepped out for dinner in Sydney at an inner-city Italian trattoria.

The global superstar, 34, shocked onlookers at Pellegrino 2000, a neighbourhood trattoria located in Surry Hills.

The restaurant, which was voted NSW's No1 in 2022, is the second outlet opened by acclaimed chefs Daniel Pepperell and Michael Cliff and sommelier Andy Tyson, who also run the popular Bistrot 916 in Potts Point. 

Pellegrino 2000 has dozens of celebrity fans, including Channel Nine's Sylvia Jeffreys, MasterChef Australia's Melissa Leong, Farmer Wants a Wife host Samantha Armytage,  radio presenter Kate Ritchie, cricket WAG Emma Lyon and podcaster Abbie Chatfield.

The self-described 'neighbourhood trattoria', the popular restaurant is known for its Italian fare as well as its wine.

It's understood Swift didn't book out the entire restaurant and enjoyed her meal alongside other paying customers.

Swift looked every inch the hipster local on Tuesday night, opting for a low-key black gypsy top paired with a brown suede skirt for the outing. 

After playing to the biggest crowd of her career last week in Melbourne, Swift is set to perform four shows in Sydney from Friday, February 23 to Monday February 26.
