Taylor Swift makes defiant statement in first public outing since Joe Alwyn split

Taylor Swift wasn't letting her break-up from Joe Alwyn stop her getting out and she appeared in good spirits during a dinner date with pal Jack Antonoff.

TayTay, 33, may never be getting back together with Joe but she put on a brave face as she dined with her regular producer and his fiancee Margaret Qualley at a swanky Italian restaurant in the Big Apple.

The dinner spot is said to have held a surprising connection to Taylor too, with it being just around the corner from New York's Cornelia Street, which was the inspiration behind one of her tunes which was said to be about her ex.

Taylor wore a pair of light blue jeans with a bejewelled cutout in the shape of a butterfly on her thigh.

She paired the look with a chic black short-sleeve sweater and a pair of stylish black heels. To accessorise, the songstress opted for a metallic gold handbag which she draped on her arm.

Her hair was in her usual straight style and her makeup was on point, with her bright red lipstick catching the eye.

Her wry smile towards onlookers showed she appeared ready to shake it off when it comes to negative vibes surrounding her split.

It comes after she broke down in tears when performing her hit song Champagne Problems during her Eras tour recently, with many fans convinced it was related to her breakup with Joe.

Fans also thought a last-minute change to the set on tour had been a hint that there was a break-up on the horizon.

The singer and British actor, 32, had been together for six years together, but sources claimed the relationship had simply "ran its course".

In insider told the Daily Mail : "The bottom line for the difficulties in their relationship was that Taylor’s career took priority over Joe’s – which can be awkward for a couple when it’s not balanced.

"This drove them apart and ultimately, they both realised they were not on the same page anymore."

The source added that Joe had been finding it hard trying to become a leading main star while dating one of the world's most famous women.
