Taylor Swift knows places she won't be found — until now!
The 34-year-old popstar knew how to avoid paparazzi and crowds after dining with friends at popular Beverly Hills restaurant Spago in January. Video footage has now come to light of the "Fortnight" singer slipping out the back of the restaurant by way of the kitchen.
A fan has been going viral on TikTok with the footage of Swift and pals Brittany Mahomes and Lyndsay Bell cutting through the kitchen. Along with the video, the fan posted, "rarest footage I ever taken when I was at a restaurant!"
In the 12-second clip, a group of men could be seen checking the exit and making way for the pop superstar to exit through the kitchen. Swift then sauntered by in a long-sleeved black mini dress and thigh-high lace-up black boots, smiling and waving goodbye to staff.
"Thank you so much!" she could be heard saying as she made her way outside. The Grammy winner was followed closely behind by Brittany, who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and Lyndsay, who is married to Chiefs tight end Blake Bell. Swift has been dating the team's tight end, Travis Kelce, since September 2023.
Many fans took to the TikTok video's comments to praise the singer, whether for her outfit choice or her manners.
"Always love to see how polite she is with staff," one person remarked.
Another fan praised her fashion, posting, "my favorite look of hers!"
A third compared the moment to a scene from 1990 gangster film, Goodfellas.
"Reminds me of Goodfellas when they are being escorted through the kitchen 🩶🩶🩶," the fan commented.
The video comes as Swifties are taking to social media to release steam for the Eras Tour superstar not being chosen as No. 1 on Billboard's Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century list.
Though fans were mad she didn't snag the top spot, Swift did come in second, ahead of Rihanna, who took third, Drake, who took fourth, Lady Gaga, who took fifth, and Britney Spears, who landed the sixth spot.
Swift is currently on a brief respite from her record-breaking tour after concluding the final dates in Toronto. She returns to the stage for her final performances of the tour in Vancouver, Canada on December 6-8.
