While Travis Kelce was nowhere to be seen at Taylor Swift's birthday meal - the pop star could surprisingly rely on paparazzi to make her feel special.

The megastar, who celebrated her 34th birthday on Wednesday, was pictured arriving at her star-studded birthday meal at Freemans in Soho, New York, with some of her A-Lister pals.

Taylor certainly dressed for the occasion, donning the Lucina embellished stretch-mesh mini dress by Clio Peppiat in black, which featured a silver moon and stars embodied onto it with a pair of strappy platform heels.

She kept warm with a black fur jacket and clutched a silver diamonte bag in one hand.

She was accompanied by some big names, including Blake Lively, supermodel Gigi Hadid, Sabrina Carpenter, Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski, Este and Alana Haim, Miles Teller and wife Keleigh Sperry.

However, her footballer beau Travis Kelce was missing from her big night out - although he told the MailOnline.com he is "really excited" to celebrate with the chart-topper.

Nevertheless, Taylor was still made to feel special in the most unexpected way.

As she arrived at the celeb hotspot, paparazzi were waiting outside to catch a glimpse of the birthday girl.

They snapped away and to Taylor's surprise they sang Happy Birthday to her as she headed to a blacked-out vehicle waiting on the sidewalk which Blake Lively stepped out of.

Taylor appeared to be taken aback by the paps' sweet gesture and looked back and smiled.

She and the Gossip Girl alum then headed into the restaurant - wearing their matching black ensembles.

The video of the heartfelt moment has since made the rounds on social media, and Swifies love to see their idol getting serenaded.
