Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter step out for dinner in New York just hours after Grammy nominations
Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter were spotted together in New York City on Friday night (November 7), sharing dinner at The Corner Store. The timing caught the attention of many as the dinner came the same day when the 2026 Grammy nominations were announced.
The outing followed a busy week for Swift, who was seen out twice with Travis Kelce just a day earlier. The pair stepped out for back-to-back dinners in the city as Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs entered their bye week.

Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter’s friendship
Swift and Carpenter’s friendship has grown noticeably over this year, as reported by People magazine. Carpenter features on the title track of Swift’s twelfth studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. Their dinner comes at a moment when both artists are aligned in public attention, even if they are in different places regarding award eligibility this cycle.
Swift herself was not included in the 2026 nominations, as The Life of a Showgirl was released just after the eligibility cutoff window. The album will instead be part of the 2027 Grammy Awards consideration.
Swift remains in New York finishing post-release promo, while Carpenter is expected to appear at several Grammy pre-events in the coming weeks.
