SWEET HUG!!! Taylor Swift gives pal Ashley Avignone a big hug while celebrating her 40th birthday in NYC

Taylor Swift made some time in her busy schedule to celebrate her friend Ashley Avignone’s birthday.

The Bad Blood hitmaker, 35, was among the guests at the stylist’s 40th birthday celebrations in New York City on Saturday.

Avignone shared a few snaps from the festivities to her Instagram on Sunday, including one photo of her and the superstar sharing a warm hug in front of a birthday cake.

The pals both matched in long-sleeve black looks, with Taylor — who attended the bash with her boyfriend Travis Kecle, 35 — rocking her signature red lipstick.

Swift also wore a chic Cartier Santos Demoiselle gold diamond watch, retailing for up to $31,000.

Another photo showed Ashley blowing out her birthday candle. The writing on the colorful cake humorously stated, ‘Ash is 25 (again).’

‘Happy birthday to me, emphasis on the *happy*’ the designer captioned her post.

The birthday bash was held on Saturday at the exclusive members club Chez Margaux in the Meatpacking District, according to People.

Swift and Avignone met through mutual friend Emma Stone, and have been friends for 16 years.

Avignone has accompanied Swift to a number of Kansas City Chiefs games to cheer on the pop star’s tight end boyfriend.

Avignone also recently supported Swift at her own birthday party, an Eras Tour-themed bash thrown by Kelce.

Earlier on Saturday, Swift and her boyfriend were seen holding hands as they made their way to Avignone’s birthday dinner.

Despite the chilly temperatures, Swift put on a leggy display wearing a black minidress that contained a hem that stopped inches above her knees.

Taylor layered the ensemble with a long, black coat that had sparkling, silver embellishments embroidered throughout the warm material.

The songstress slipped into a pair of open-toed, black heels to coincide with the monochromatic color scheme of her look.

Swift’s long blonde locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in elegant waves.

The performer carried a small, bedazzled purse in her right hand to hold a few items she needed during the night out.

Taylor further glammed up the outfit by adding a pair of dangly, silver earrings as well as a silver-chained necklace.

Kelce sported a vibrant look wearing a red, denim jacket that was unbuttoned at the front as well as a pair of matching, loose-fitting trousers.

The professional NFL star added a printed, white shirt underneath and donned a pair of black shoes that were secured with laces.

To complete the stylish ensemble for the evening, Travis added a cap on top of his head and also opted for a pair of shades.

The couple – who were first romantically linked last year – were seen lovingly holding hands as they made their way across a busy street upon arriving to the restaurant.

Just one day earlier, the lovebirds were previously spotted out in the Big Apple for a double date with producer Jack Antonoff and his wife, Margaret Qualley.

Swift and Kelce matched in coordinating looks as she donned a $5,500 wool, Stella McCartney blazer that contained dazzling embellishments.

Social media users soon jumped to X to share their thoughts on the couple’s ensembles, with one penning, ‘THE MATCHING COLOURS AHHHHHHH TAYLOR AND TRAVIS YOU GUYS LOOK INCREDIBLE!!!’

Another added, ‘Taylor & Travis’ matching outfits are so cute [sobbing emoji],’ while one shared, ‘Both outfits really are incredible! Taylor and Travis look amazing together.’

Earlier this week, an insider for the Chiefs opened up about Kelce’s plans with Swift amid his team’s short break on the New Day With SSJ podcast.

The Chiefs competed against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day – which resulted in a 29-10 victory for Kansas City.

While mentioning Chiefs coach Andy Reid, the insider named Pete Sweeney stated, ‘Andy I believe got done with the [Steelers] game and gave the guys some time to go do what they want to do.’

‘A tight end might be going to New York with his girlfriend, a quarterback might be hanging out with his kids. Who knows what everybody else is doing.’

‘But I think it’s a nice reset for these guys. All these guys will practice next week, but I have a zero percent feel that any starter of any significance will play in this game.’

Kelce will join the Chiefs on the football field next year on January 5 as they take on the Denver Broncos.
