Taylor Swift celebrates regaining masters with bestie Selena Gomez during NYC dinner outing

Girls’ night out.
Taylor Swift celebrated regaining the masters to her first six albums by enjoying a lavish dinner outing in NYC with her bestie Selena Gomez.
The “Bad Blood” singer and the “Only Murders in the Building” actress were photographed Saturday night together inside Monkey Bar, a restaurant that was established in 1936 and serves shellfish, steaks, pastas and more.
In the photo shared on X, Swift, 35, was seated across from Gomez, 32, and the women appeared to be engaged in a deep conversation, with the “Cruel Summer” songstress sporting a look of shock on her face while her BFF stared at her.
Monkey Bar posted on its website that it would be closing the bar at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday for a “private event,” however, it’s unclear if that was due to the presence of the two pop stars.
Page Six has reached out to the Monkey Bar for comment but did not immediately hear back.
The celebratory outing came one day after Swift announced on her website that she bought back the masters to her first six albums.
“I’m trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow,” she began in her handwritten letter.
“A flashback sequence of all the time I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through,” the 14-time Grammy winner added.
“I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that’s all in the past now. I’ve been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words.
“All of the music I’ve ever made … now belongs… to me.”
Scooter Braun bought the rights to Swift’s first six albums — “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989” and “Reputation” — in 2019 when his company Ithica Holdings acquired her former label, Big Machine Records.
The retired music manager then sold her masters to Shamrock Capital.
At the time, the billionaire pop star claimed “bully” Braun, 43, “stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy.”
Sources told Billboard Friday that Swift bought her masters from Shamrock Capital for around $360 million.
Gomez was one of many stars to celebrate her pal’s major move, writing that she was “so proud” on her Instagram Stories.
The “Shake It Off” singer was also shown love from her beau, Travis Kelce, who “liked” Swift’s Instagram post about the big news.

Jerry Seinfeld claims ‘Friends’ copied his sitcom ‘Seinfeld’

Jerry Seinfeld thew a little shade at “Friends” during at the 2026 Netflix Is a Joke Festival, claiming the show was inspired by his own iconic sitcom, “Seinfeld.”
The comedian made the comment during his set at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles Tuesday during a bit in which he asked the audience to guess what his all-time favorite show was, per the Hollywood Reporter.
When an audience member shouted out “Friends,” Seinfeld said he had a theory about the comedy starring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and the late Matthew Perry.
“My show [‘Seinfled’] came on — ’89, ’90. ‘Friends’ came on a few years later,” he noted.
“I think NBC was watching my show and went, ‘Hey, this is working pretty well. Why don’t we try the same thing with good-looking people?’ And that was a pretty good idea,” he continued. “I think that kind of worked.”
“Seinfeld” — which starred the titular comedian as well as Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards and Jason Alexander — premiered on NBC in 1989 and ran for nine seasons.
“Friends” debuted in 1994 and aired for 10 seasons on NBC.
Both shows revolved around a close group of friends living in New York City, though “Friends” was story and character-centric while “Seinfeld” was famously dubbed a “show about nothing” by Seinfeld himself and co-creator Larry David.
This isn’t the first time Seinfeld has taken credit for the success of “Friends.”
Kudrow told the Daily Beast in 2022 that Seinfeld once walked up to her at a party in the ’90s and told her “you’re welcome,” as “Friends” had been put on NBC’s schedule right after ratings juggernaut “Seinfeld.”
Last month, Kudrow revealed the “Friends” cast still gets a whopping $20 million a year from residuals, more than two decades after the hit sitcom came to an end in 2004.
But she noted in the same interview that their experience filming wasn’t always positive, and that “there was definitely mean stuff going on behind the scenes.”
“Don’t forget we were recording in front of a live audience of 400, and if you messed up one of these writers’ lines or it didn’t get the perfect response, they could be like, ‘Can’t the bitch f–king read? She’s not even trying. She f–ed up my line,’” she recalled to the Times of London.
Kudrow also claimed that the writers’ room, which was composed of mostly men, would “be up late discussing their sexual fantasies” about Aniston and Cox. She recalled the time as “intense.”

Kylie Jenner carries $63K blue Birkin to Knicks playoff game with Timothée Chalamet

She’s keeping up with the Knicks.
Following Monday night’s Met Gala, Kylie Jenner and boyfriend Timothée Chalamet were once again sat courtside at Wednesday night’s Knicks playoff game against the Philadephia 76ers.
Decked out in their best orange and blue, Jenner chose to keep it simple in a pair of EB jeans ($295) and white Guizio tank ($38), with an orange jacket tied around her waist.
As for her accessorizes, she managed to source the perfect pair of vintage Miu Miu mules ($480) for the occasion — and added a pricey blue Birkin bag.
A similar deep blue crocodile Hermès Birkin 35 is currently available for sale at Sotheby’s for $63,000.
Last week, the makeup mogul, 28, shared pics of her purse on Instagram, captioning it, “knicks blue obviously.”
Upping the glam on her casual outfit, the mom of two wore her massive pear-shaped diamond pinky ring and matching earrings.
Chalamet leaned into the festive hues as well, topping his T-shirt and jeans with a bright orange ‘90s-era Avirex leather jacket.
The “Dune” star, 30, skipped out on Monday night’s Met Gala in favor of a Knicks game while Jenner attended solo — and stole the show — in a dramatic illusion Schiaparelli ballgown.
After last night, Jenner and Chalamet might very well be a good luck charm for the Knicks; last week, the reality star wore a white tank top and embellished Isabel Marant jeans to watch the team advance to the second round.

Christina Ricci leaves shady comment on Katy Perry Met Gala photo

Christina Ricci left a savage — but succinct — comment on an Instagram carousel of pics featuring Katy Perry and Connor Storrie at the Met Gala.
“Yikes,” the “Addams Family” actress wrote under the pics, which featured the “Roar” singer in a polarizing Stella McCartney dress and futuristic face mask, alongside Storrie in a black polka dot Saint Laurent blouse and suit jacket.
In one photo, the “Heated Rivalry” star, 26, covered his face with one hand to imitate Perry’s mirrored mask.
Two other snaps in the upload — which was shared by Variety on Monday — featured individual portraits of the stars in their Met Gala attire.
“#ConnorStorrie poses with #KatyPerry at the #MetGala, jokingly hiding his face to match her look,” the publication captured the pics.
Some fans in the comments thread of Ricci’s reaction agreed with her. “Came here just to like the comment,” one person wrote, while another added, “you said it, girl!”
Others were supportive of Perry’s eccentric fencing mask look, with one commenter remarking, “Okay Katy, i kinda like it 🤍” and another joking, “Connor and the astronaut.”
Yet another quipped, “Did he get to ask her if she’s ever felt like a plastic bag drifting through the wind do you think? 😉” referencing lyrics to Perry’s hit “Firework.”
Ricci’s one-word comment comes on the heels of Ruby Rose’s stunning allegation that Perry sexually assaulted her at a Melbourne nightclub back in 2010.
“Katy Perry sexual assaulted me at spice market nightclub in Melbourne. Who gives a s–t what she thinks,” the “Orange is the New Black” alum responded to a Complex Music social media post about Perry’s reaction to Justin Bieber’s recent Coachella performance last month.
In a subsequent Threads message, Rose wrote that it had taken her “almost two decades” to go public with her claims against the 41-year-old pop star — who is currently dating former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.
She added, “Though I am so grateful to have made it long enough to find my voice, it just shows how much of an impact trauma and sexual assault takes. Thank you for seeing me.”
A rep for the “Teenage Dream” hitmaker denied the incident in a strongly worded statement to Page Six.
“The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, they are dangerous reckless lies,” the rep stated last month.
“Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by those named.”
Following the bombshell allegation, Page Six confirmed that an investigation into the matter is underway.
“Melbourne Sexual Offenses and Child Abuse Investigation Team detectives are investigating a historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010,” Acting Sergeant Paul Hogan of Victoria Police told Page Six in April.
“Police have been told the incident occurred at a licensed premises in Melbourne’s Central Business District.”
Earlier that day, Rose shared via Threads that she had “finalized all reports” about the matter and stated in part that she is “no longer able to comment, repost, or talk publicly about any of those cases, or the individuals involved.”
It’s worth noting that Rose, 40, and Ricci, 46, co-starred in the 2013 film “Around the Block,” which was filmed in Australia — though it’s unclear whether Ricci’s pointed social media remark was related to the allegations against Perry.
Ricci’s comment also seemingly underscored malcontent on the perimeter of the Met Gala, which saw a brawl break out among Anti-Bezos protesters as A-listers walked the famed staircase to the event — Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez reportedly paid millions to sponsor fashion’s biggest night.
Reps for Ricci and Perry did not immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment on Wednesday evening.
