Taylor Swift Australian tour: US pop star visits Pellegrino 2000 for dinner in Sydney's inner city Surry Hills

A downtown Italian trattoria frequented by dozens of Australian celebrities had its most famous customer yet on Tuesday night

Taylor Swift literally stopped traffic as she went out for dinner in Sydney on Tuesday night.

The global superstar, 34, shocked onlookers at Pellegrino 2000, a neighborhood trattoria in Surry Hills.

The restaurant, which was named NSW's No1 in 2022, is the second to be opened by acclaimed chefs Daniel Pepperell and Michael Cliff and sommelier Andy Tyson, who also runs the popular Bistrot 916 in Potts Point.

Pellegrino 2000 has dozens of celebrity fans, including Channel Nine's Sylvia Jeffreys, MasterChef Australia's Melissa Leong, Farmer Wants a Wife presenter Samantha Armytage, radio presenter Kate Ritchie, cricket WAG Emma Lyon and podcaster Abbie Chatfield.

The popular restaurant, which calls itself a 'neighborhood trattoria', is known for its Italian dishes and wine.

The restaurant has a Google review score of 4.5 out of five stars from 456 reviews.

A local expert said the restaurant's prices are “very reasonable for Sydney.”

“Taylor could have chosen plenty of expensive restaurants to eat at, but opted for something local.”

Pastas start from $34, while a four-course meal costs $89 per person.

Pellegrino 2000 has both indoor and outdoor dining options.

Booked reservations are essential.

It's clear that Swift didn't reserve the entire restaurant and enjoyed her meal with other paying customers.

Looking every bit the local hipster on Tuesday night, Swift opted for an understated black gypsy top paired with a brown suede skirt for the outing.

The Shake It Off hitmaker accessorized her off-duty look with a delicate necklace and a jet black belt to tie at her waist.

She wore her blonde locks natural for her night out on the town, highlighting her famous face with a classic makeup palette consisting of a defined eye and a statement lip.

The one-woman economy took full advantage of her night off with fellow singer Sabrina Carpenter, who is currently supporting Taylor on her sold-out Eras Tour.

The Girl Meets World star dazzled in a red mini dress with white fringes and simple tights at the back.

Carpenter accessorized her look with a classic Louis Vuitton handbag and wore a black leather jacket to protect herself from Sydney's unpredictable weather lately.

The Pennsylvania native wore her blonde hair straight for her night out in the hip downtown suburb.

Swift is currently enjoying four days of rest and relaxation in the Harbor City after her Eras Tour took Melbourne by storm and sold out three days at the famous MCG.

The megastar flew to Sydney on Monday afternoon and is staying at Crown's presidential villa in Barangaroo.

On Tuesday morning, her private jet took to the skies on a flight bound for Honolulu, amid reports it was headed there to pick up her NFL star Travis Kelce.

Kelce dropped a huge hint that he might be heading Down Under on this week's episode of his New Heights podcast, claiming he'd be “venturing to an island soon” with the best of them being “south” of the US would find.

He added that next week's podcast will be a pre-recorded guest episode that doesn't feature him, leading fans to believe he would join his girlfriend in Sydney – and perhaps travel with her to Singapore for her shows in the first week of March.

There are also rumors that Swift and Kelce will enjoy a romantic break together in Queensland during their time Down Under.

Swift will perform four shows in Sydney from Friday February 23 to Monday February 26.
