Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner pleased fans after being pictured having dinner in New York, despite Turner's divorce from pop singer Joe Jonas.
Turner, 27, and Swift, 33, were seen holding hands as they entered at famed Italian eatery Via Carota on Tuesday, September 19 - just weeks after Jonas filed for divorce from the Game of Thrones star.
Swift dated Jonas for three months in 2008 and once performed with the Jonas Brothers. The "Fearless" singer claimed he broke up with her during a 25-second phone call during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Turner and Jonas married in 2019 and have two children together. On September 5, the Jonas Brothers singer filed for divorce from Turner, alleging "irreconcilable differences."

"Oh to be a fly on the wall in a room with Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift," one X/Twitter user remarked under a snapshot of the pair.
Swift wore a rust dress and brown boots with a large denim trench coat for their stroll on Tuesday, "letting everyone know that it's officially fall season," one fan remarked on X.
Turner, for her part, chose an all-grey look for dinner, complementing large trousers with a waistcoat top. "GIRLS SUPPORTING GIRLS," another user said in response to their presence together. Turner, a long-time Swiftie, has previously professed her support for the singer while seemingly mocking her now-ex Jonas on social media.

Turner uploaded "Mr Perfectly Fine," popularly assumed to be about Jonas, as part of Swift's re-recorded album Fearless (Taylor's Version), on her Instagram Stories.
Swift reshared Turner's Instagram image with the caption, "Forever bending the knee to the [queen] of the north."
Turner wore a friendship bracelet that said "Mr Perfectly Fine" when she went to see the Jonas Brothers' The Tour in New York earlier this year. Fans who visit Swift's ongoing, billion-dollar Eras tour generally bring homemade friendship bracelets with lines from her songs or Swift references to trade.
Following Swift and Turner's Italian supper on Tuesday, fans used the lyrics of "Mr Perfectly Fine" as captions for photos on social media platforms. Despite rumors that their marriage had ended due to lifestyle differences between Turner and Jonas, the ex-couple stated that
their choice to separate was mutual and amicable.
"After four years of wonderful marriage, we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage," their joint statement on Instagram said.
