Taylor Swift was in attendance at Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s annual Oscars after-party in Los Angeles March 15, according to a partygoer who described her encounter with the pop star.

The life of a showgirl indeed.
Taylor Swift stepped out to celebrate the 2026 Oscars at Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s annual Gold Party in Los Angeles following the March 15 ceremony, flying under the radar on her way into the star-studded soirée.
But while the “Fate of Ophelia” singer seemingly avoided paparazzi as she arrived for the event, filmmaker Natalie Musteata—who won Best Live Action Short Film for Two People Exchanging Saliva—confirmed she spent time with Taylor inside the event.
“We got to dance with Jay-Z and Emma Stone and Taylor Swift,” Natalie—whose film tied with The Singers in a rare history-making moment—told The New Yorker in an interview published March 16. “We took photos, we laughed, we cried, and it was just the best evening. We didn’t want it to end.”
Of course, Taylor, 36, is no stranger to the Oscar party circuit. She previously attended an after-party hosted by Madonna and talent manager Guy Oseary in 2024, taking in the action alongside now-fiancé Travis Kelce after performing a string of Eras Tour concerts in Singapore.
Taylor wasn’t the only star who avoided the spotlight at this year’s Oscars. Kaia Gerber and boyfriend Lewis Pullman opted not to draw attention to their romance on Oscars night, arriving separately to Vanity Fair’s annual bash at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

But the pair—who first sparked relationship rumors in January 2025—did reunite later in the evening, as they walked side-by-side while exiting the party.
Meanwhile, Wendi McLendon-Covey missed the festivities altogether, even as her Bridesmaids costars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy and Ellie Kemper reunited onstage at the Dolby Theatre to mark the comedy’s 15th anniversary. But Wendi had a reasonable explanation for being MIA, citing a recent cosmetic procedure.
“I had a neck lift last week because I'm tired of looking like a melting candle,” she joked in a post on Instagram alongside a selfie showing a stretch band wrapped around her head. “So I had to skip the Academy Awards.”
And for good measure, the Goldbergs alum noted that she and her castmates remain on good terms, adding, “No drama. Everything is fine.”
