Taylor Swift spotted alone at the West Hollywood bar celebrating a friend’s low-key birthday bash

Barney’s Beanery patrons weren’t ready for it.

Taylor Swift was spotted at the West Hollywood bar Thursday night celebrating a friend’s low-key birthday bash. The Grammy winner, 34, sat in a booth with her pals. The outlet reported that Swift spent a couple hours talking and eating before heading out — and having one of her security guards pay the tab upon her exit.

While the pop star arrived with a friend, her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was nowhere in sight. The couple has been spending time together in California while on a break from his NFL season and her Eras Tour. Swift and the athlete, also 34, were spotted lunching in Malibu on March 24 and shut down a local gym to work out together that same weekend. Kelce has embarked on some solo outings of his own, from golfing with pal Chandler Parsons to bonding with the NBA player’s baby boy.

He also was photographed dining with his brother, Jason Kelce, in Los Angeles on Monday. Prior to their time on the West Coast, Travis and the songwriter looked loved-up on vacation in the Bahamas. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end raved about the “lovely” trip while speaking to “Entertainment Tonight” Tuesday.

Eagle-eyed fans pointed out Travis’ background in the Zoom call, theorizing that the limewash wall matched one of Swift’s old photos in her home. The duo began dating last year, with a source telling Page Six in January that Travis plans to get down on one knee this summer. The former reality star fueled engagement rumors in a March episode of his “New Heights” podcast when he joked about lab-grown diamonds. In this week’s installment, Travis excited fans with a comment to guest Arnold Schwarzenegger about possibly naming his future baby Conan.
