Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez had one night that makes you wish you were there, too. The two friends met up at Negroni Caffe Bar in Beverly Hills ahead of the Super Bowl LIX for a casual catch-up, just the two of them with their security in tow. According to a source, they parked in a cozy booth near the bar, sharing laughs and some sweet moments away from the usual hustle.
The vibe was all about keeping things low-key. Fans were kept at bay, giving the pop stars the privacy they needed to enjoy each other's company. And while the night was quiet, the energy was anything but. Swift, known for her heartfelt music and generosity, ordered a cacao old fashioned that hit the spot.
Selena, on the other hand, got a nod of approval for a cocktail called the "Lonely Muse" whipped up by a bartender who couldn't help but gush about the experience. He even shared on Instagram that serving Swift a drink called "London Boy" was a dream come true for him, adding a playful twist to the night.
Food played its part, too. The duo couldn't get enough of their tuna crispy rice, and they didn't hold back on raving about the entrées to the restaurant staff. In one standout moment, Selena chatted with an aspiring actor who'd recently moved to LA and offered him some really motivational words.

Jason shared with People that the "Blank Space" singer will be part of the Kelce family's Super Bowl gathering.
