Taylor Swift, celebrated her 34th birthday in a spectacular fashion at Zero Bond in New York City, surrounded by a constellation of A-list friends like Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively, and Zoë Kravitz.
Amidst the festivities, Taylor shone in a dazzling little black dress and diamond jewels, but it was a new, enormous opal ring that became the center of attention.
Speculations swirled about whether her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, gifted the stunning piece. However, Keleigh Sperry, Taylor's close friend and Miles Teller's wife, clarified the mystery on Instagram.
"Love this ring I had made for my friend, she’s bejeweled," Keleigh captioned a photo of the ring in a red Cartier box, debunking the rumors pointing to the Chiefs player.

Despite Keleigh's creative input, the ring's design subtly nods to the relationship between Taylor and the NFL player, blending their birthstones - opal for Travis and blue topaz for Taylor.
