Pop superstar Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were spotted enjoying a dinner date in Manhattan on Saturday night. Dressed their best in chic high fashion ensembles, the longtime friends dined together at the upscale Monkey Bar in Midtown, where they were photographed deep in conversation at a private booth.The outing came just a day after Swift, announced that she had successfully bought back the rights to her original music catalogue after several years spent re-releasing her music to regain ownership of her early work.For the girls' night, Swift dressed in a black mini-skirt and black top with sequin detailing. Selena, on the other hand, rocked a brown and beige pant suit. Both wore their hair up in buns as they spent the evening catching up. Photos of the two chatting up a storm quickly went viral online, with fans having a laugh at Taylor's shocked reactions to Selena's comments. "Selena always has her gagged," a fan joked while sharing older photos of the singer sharing some inside scoop with Taylor that leaves her with her jaw hanging in surprise."Some things really never change between Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift," said another.This is the first time that the two were spotted after their hectic schedules. While Selena has been busy shooting her web series 'Only Murders In The Building', Taylor has been enjoying her well-earned break after her record-breaking Eras Tour.As far as Swift’s masters are concerned, her catalogue was originally acquired by music executive Scooter Braun in 2019 through the purchase of Big Machine Label Group, a deal made without Swift’s consent. Braun later sold the catalogue to Shamrock Capital in 2020. Now, in a triumphant turn, the music rights were sold back to Swift for an estimate $360 million, restoring her control over the songs that launched her career.Selena was among the few close friends who showed her support on Instagram following the announcement, resharing Taylor’s post with a heartfelt message: “YES YOU DID THAT TAY!!! SO PROUD.”
