Taylor Swift looked lovely in a black short dress as she partied with pals Brittany Mahomes and Lindsay Bell in Beverly Hills on Saturday night.

The 34-year-old music sensation was sighted in California amid controversy within her circle following the publishing of an opinion piece in the New York Times implying Swift is gay, despite her apparent romance with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.

While Kelce and his teammates remained at a hotel near LAX, Swift and her new companions dined at the famed restaurant Spago, as shown in photos from DailyMail.

Kelce and the Chiefs were in town for a Sunday game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, but that didn’t stop their wives from having a fun night out.

On January 4, the New York Times published a story questioning Swift’s sexuality, prompting outrage among fans and, purportedly, Taylor’s inner circle.

According to Anna Marks’ column in the New York Times, Swift may be hiding her sexuality because of her ‘affinity for queer identity.’

One of Swift’s pals argued that such a piece would never be written about a male artist, despite Marks having previously written a similar essay questioning Harry Styles’ sexuality.

‘This article wouldn’t have been allowed to be written about Shawn Mendes or any male artist whose sexuality has been questioned by fans,’ a source close to the matter told CNN.

Meanwhile, Taylor has been in Los Angeles for several days, and DailyMail has photographed her exclusively working out at the Dogpound Gym in West Hollywood.
