Taylor Swift literally stopped traffic on Tuesday night when she stepped out for dinner in Sydney. The global superstar shocked onlookers at Pellegrino 2000, a neighbourhood trattoria located in Surry Hills. Now a patron on the night has revealed what the singer, 34, is really like in person, far away from her stage persona.
Marketing consultant Chris Melotti told news.com.au on Wednesday Swift was gracious and kind to everyone in the restaurant she interacted with – and his video taken at his table shows her thanking a waitress.
‘She did thank all the staff, which was lovely, and she was absolutely beautiful! Her aura and persona was beautiful,’ he said. He went on to say he only realised she was dining in the restaurant when he noticed a crowd growing outside. ‘All the girls were crying around us! Everyone was going, “Oh my god,” and seeing her impact was interesting!’ he told the publication.
Mr Melotti also took to TikTok on the night to share footage of the superstar as she was leaving. The short clip, which has racked up over 6,800 likes, shows Taylor coming up the restaurant’s stairs and quickly passing by his table.
Taylor was also photographed on her night out in Sydney, looking every inch the hipster local, opting for a low-key black gypsy top paired with a brown suede skirt for the outing. The Shake It Off hitmaker accessorised her off-duty look with a delicate necklace, and a jet black belt to cinch in her waist.
Taylor wore her blonde locks natural for her night out on the town, and highlighted her famous visage with a classic makeup palette consisting of a defined eye and statement lip. The one-woman economy made the most of her night off with fellow singer Sabrina Carpenter, who is currently supporting Taylor on her sell-out Eras Tour.
The Girl Meets World star dazzled in a red minidress with white fringe detailing and simple back tights. Sabrina accessorised her look with a classic Louis Vuitton handbag, and carried a black leather look jacket to protect herself from the unpredictable Sydney weather of late.
The Pennsylvania-born native wore her flash of blonde hair dead straight for her night out in the hip inner city suburb. Taylor is currently enjoying four days of rest and relaxation in the Harbour City after her Eras Tour took Melbourne by storm, selling out three days at the famed MCG.
The megastar jetted into Sydney on Monday afternoon and is staying at Crown’s presidential villa in Barangaroo. On Tuesday morning, her private jet took to the skies on a flight bound for Honolulu, amid reports its headed there to pick up her NFL star beau Travis Kelce.
