Watch Taylor Swift Step Away from Security to Greet and Hug a Young Swiftie in New York City

The pop superstar was spotted leaving the afterparty for the ‘Poor Things’ premiere on Wednesday night

Taylor Swift was enchanted to meet one very special Swiftie!

The pop superstar, 33, attended the New York City premiere of the film Poor Things on Wednesday, and after she exited the afterparty at Avra Rockefeller Center, she took a moment to greet a handful of fans waiting outside. While the Grammy winner’s security team directed her as she stepped outside, she was captured stepping aside to give a hug to one young Swiftie.

In footage of the touching moment, the singer-songwriter appeared to exit the after party with the intention of getting straight into her vehicle. Just as her security directed her into the car, though, her fans caught her attention and she ran over to say hello.

The “Cruel Summer” singer — who was keeping warm in Charlotte Simone’s faux fur “Penny” coat — looked overjoyed to approach one small fan in particular and give her a sweet hug. According to the brief clip, it appears as though she heard the group asking for a quick photo and posed for one while bending down and embracing the young fan.

“Love you!” one fan was captured yelling as the hitmaker was then ushered by her team to leave.

Swift stepped out on Wednesday to support her longtime friend Emma Stone at the premiere for her latest film Poor Things, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. Although she didn’t walk the red carpet, she was photographed walking into the event held at Manhattan’s DGA Theater and inside as she posed with the Oscar winner, 35.

In addition to wearing the long, black Charlotte Simone coat, the “Karma” singer was also styled in a sleek, form fitting black gown paired with Giuseppe Zanotti open-toe pumps. A curled blow out with an exaggerated side part, as well as her signature winged eyeliner and red lip, completed the look.

Earlier this year, Stone also showed her love for Swift by stepping out to attend her Eras Tour at both the opening date in Glendale, Arizona and one of the shows at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium.

In a June interview with Vanity Fair, the La La Land star opened up about what it was like seeing her friend perform and their friendship of 16 years.

The Cruella actress said, “I was lucky ’cause we’ve been friends for a really long time …  “I’ve known her since we were 17 and 18, so she hooked me up, which was very nice ’cause I know those tickets are impossible to get.”

“She’s a wonderful friend,” the actress shared.

“She blows my mind,” Stone continued. “The amount of sheer stamina to do three and a half hours and perform 44 songs and to maintain the extreme energy of the audience — I’ve never seen anything like it.”

The Midnights artist’s recent outing in NYC follows the announcement on Wednesday that Time named her 2023’s Person of the Year. In the cover interview, she opened up about her relationship with Travis Kelce, her friendship with Beyoncé, the upcoming rerecording of 2017’s Reputation and more.
