In a display of solidarity and friendship, Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner were spotted leaving a restaurant in New York City on September 19. The images of the two stars arm in arm come just weeks after the news of Turner’s divorce from her husband, Joe Jonas, had made headlines.

One witty Twitter user joked, “Not picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife,” humorously referencing Swift’s lyric from “Vigilante Sh*t.”
Another tweet featured a candid shot of Swift deeply engaged in conversation with Turner, accompanied by the caption, “She’s listening so intently while Sophie was giving her the tea.”
A few weeks ago, Sophie Turner’s divorce from Joe Jonas had dominated the news cycle. The couple, who share two children, reportedly parted ways due to differing lifestyles, with Turner being known for enjoying the party scene, despite her previous self-description as an “introvert.”
Turner had mostly remained tight-lipped about the rumors, except for the standard divorce announcement she and Jonas released. In their joint statement, they said, “After four wonderful years of marriage, we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.”

The images of the two friends have left fans entertained and reminded of the power of friendship during challenging times.
