Taylor Swift celebrated her 34th birthday in true superstar fashion with a glamorous evening in New York City.  Joined by close friends Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Este and Alana Haim and other high-profile guests, Taylor marked the occasion with style and sparkle.

For the celebration, the iconic singer-songwriter dazzled in a striking black mini-dress adorned with a large silver sequin moon, complemented by starburst and cloud appliqués from Clio Peppiat costing $2,335 paired with Aquazzura crystal embelished shoes, $1,450 and matching Aquazzura bag, $1,255.

Adding to her allure, she casually draped a luxurious black fur coat over her arms, enhancing the outfit's glitz. 

The group celebrated the special day with a dinner at Freemans in New York City, and her entrance was nothing short of a spectacle as she stepped out of a black SUV, hand in hand with Blake. While Taylor's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, wasn't present for the evening, she carried a touch of glamour with a crystal purse that elegantly matched her dress's embellishments. 

The 'Anti-Hero' singer shone bright with diamond accessories, from her earrings to her stunning necklace. Her signature hairstyle underwent a sleek transformation, with her blonde hair straightened and flowing elegantly.

Taylor's iconic makeup style was on full display, featuring her trademark ruby red lips, winged eyeliner, and a pop of bright pink blush.  Her radiant smile and animated conversation with Blake highlighted her joyous mood as they approached the restaurant.

Blake, ever the fashionista, turned heads in a form-fitting black vinyl LBD, complementing her ensemble with striking Christian Louboutin lace-up boots. 

Her golden locks were styled in luscious waves, and she carried a chic beige clutch with a distinct criss-cross pattern.

Earlier in the day, Taylor's Manhattan penthouse was a hub of activity, with a stunning bouquet of two dozen pink peonies delivered by her security guard.  The thoughtful gesture, likely from Travis, was just one of many floral arrangements that arrived, hinting at the numerous well-wishes from friends and loved ones.

The birthday festivities began earlier in the week with a PDA-filled pre-celebration in Kansas City, Missouri, where Taylor spent time with Travis and his mother, Donna. The gathering included Travis' teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany.

Selena, a long-time friend and Disney Channel alum, paid a heartfelt tribute to Taylor on her actual birthday, calling her a 'goddess' and sharing a cherished photo from the previous night's celebration.
