She might be one of the richest women in music, but don’t expect Taylor Swift to be picking up the bill anytime soon.
The ‘Shake it Off’ singer reportedly racked up a restaurant bill of $4000 while dining with friends in New York over the weekend.
Despite her $740 million (£604m) bank balance, another member of the A-listers entourage paid the cheque.

Swift was reportedly joined by actors Sophie Turner and Blake Lively as they dined at a high-end establishment in Soho.
Along with other close friends, the 12-strong group sampled the delights of Emilio’s Ballato with the set menu costing around $195 each (£159).
For the amount of cash they spent, you’d think the group would have a pretty hefty alcohol bill but gossip site DeuxMoi claims that only two Cosmos, two Aperol Spritzes and two bottles of San Pellegrino water were brought to the table.
How exactly they know that is beyond us.
It’s unclear who had a tipple, but the celebrity Instagram page stated that Lively had footed the entire bill – despite having a net worth of just $30 million (£24m).
Though it’s more than most of us could ever imagine having in 100 lifetimes, it seems even A-List celebrities aren’t exempt from having to foot the bill for their friends every so often.
Before you judge Swift, though, she has been pretty busy this year donating meals during the US leg of her world tour, so it's only fair she gets a meal donated to her on this occasion.
While she reportedly asked food banks not to reveal her identity, Swift is said to have made a huge donation to Feeding Tampa Bay.
It’s thought that over 125,000 meals would be provided because of the A-Lister, with her making similar donations as she made her way across 20 states.
Another food bank in Santa Clara, California, also thanked her for her donation with Swifties later helping to boost donations by up to 43 per cent.
However, this is just pocket change for the ‘Miss America’ star as she’s thought to earn a staggering $13 million (£10.6m) each night during her Eras Tour.
Forbes also estimates that Swift earned $92 million in 2022, meaning that her bank balance will have a major boost from the sell-out concerts.
To put that into context, her rumoured boyfriend and NFL star Travis Kelce earns just $12.3 million (£10.4m) per year playing for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Here’s hoping they don’t squabble over the bill after comparing bank accounts.
