What RI restaurants has Taylor Swift been spotted at? See the list

Since buying her Watch Hill mansion back in 2013, the singer has been a frequent visitor of the Ocean State, hosting parties for her friends, shopping around town and trying the local cuisine. While Swift's public outings in Rhode Island have been less frequent in recent years, like any homeowner, she certainly has a list of favorite spots she likes to visit around her house.

Here's a list of restaurants and stores Taylor Swift has visited in and around Westerly over the years.

Olympia Tea Room

Visitors to Watch Hill sit outside at the Olympia Tea Room on Bay Street to eat and take in the views.

In June 2016, the singer enjoyed a romantic first date with actor Tom Hiddleston at the restaurant. According to Us Weekly, the pair stayed for over two hours, enjoying white wine, espresso and the restaurant's famous Avondale Swan dessert, a swan-shaped puff pastry with vanilla gelato, espresso fudge and whipped cream feathers.

PizzaPlace

Back in April of this year, Swift's longtime bestie Ed Sheeran posted a throwback picture of Swift in a pizza place to @teddysoldphone on Instagram, an account created to promote his new song "Old Phone."

"Getting pizza somewhere on tour," Sheeran captioned the photo, which also shows Hailee Steinfeld sipping a drink.

Internet sleuths soon figured out that the "somewhere" in question was actually PizzaPlace on Broad Street. The singers likely stopped at the local pizza joint during in July 2023, when Swift and her then-opener Sheeran visited Rhode Island after playing Gillette Stadium on the Red tour.
