Taylor Swift spent time with her close friends Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh Sperry on Tuesday night, even as she was scheduled to be feted at a ceremony for Time magazine's Person of the Year gala.
The 34-year-old hitmaker appeared to have decided to skip the event – despite making it on the cover of the magazine's Person of the Year issue – in favor of celebrating her birthday a day early with her friends.
She effortlessly combined casual and chic styles with a statement leather trench coat as the trio visited the chic membership club Zero Bond.
Taylor had arrived in the Big Apple – where she maintains a penthouse – earlier in the day after departing from Kanas City, Missouri.
She previously spent time with her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Taylor's apparent decision to skip the Time gala was shocking, as it was believed she had flown back to New York City on Tuesday specifically to attend the ceremony.
But the hitmaker has long shown loyalty to her friends and members of her “squad”, so she appears to have preferred an intimate evening with pals Miles and Keleigh over the star-studded event.
The trio was seen getting out of a black luxury SUV on their way to the club.
Keleigh led the way and Taylor followed close behind. She stood out in her striking brown leather trench coat, a departure from the more traditional gabardine or cotton materials.
The voluminous coat had epaulettes and fit loosely around her slim body.
She wore the belt tied but also buttoned to stay extra warm on cool evenings.
Her appearance underneath was mostly obscured, but Taylor appeared to be wearing some sort of black ensemble as the high neckline peeked out from her coat.
Even though Miles's 6-foot-10 height surpasses Taylor's height, she still appeared to tower over him thanks to her chunky black platform boots, which were adorned with thick gold Cuban links.
