There’s nothing like a familiar face for Taylor Swift in the wake of her split from Joe Alwyn … as she’s getting by with a little help from her pal and longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff.
T. Swift hit NYC’s West Village Monday night for a bite at Via Carota, and, apparently, has no issues being the third wheel … now that she’s single. She dined with Jack and his fiancee, actress Margaret Qualley.
The timing of the trio’s night out for some Italian is interesting for a couple of reasons. First, Taylor’s hardly looking super sad — at least on the outside — which might support the theory her breakup from Joe didn’t go down all that recently.
Secondly, freshly heartbroken folks rarely wanna hang with freshly in love couples … like Jack and Margaret, for instance. They got engaged last May after about a year of dating — so, again, we’d guess Taylor wouldn’t be in the mood to catch up on Margaret and Jack’s wedding plans … IF she and Joe had just broken up.
As we reported, news of Taylor and Joe’s demise, after 6 years of dating, leaked over the weekend, but they hadn’t been seen together in public in a long time — and some fans noticed he hadn’t been at any of her Eras Tour shows either.
So far, neither is saying exactly when they split … or who called things off.
Of course, TS and singer/songwriter Jack have worked together for years … he’s co-written or co-produced several dozen of Taylor’s tracks. Who knows, maybe they hashed out her next great breakup song while breaking bruschetta!
Fair warning, Joe.
