  • Andrew Rannells shared a group selfie from Lena Dunham’s 40th birthday dinner at Via Carota in New York, showing Taylor Swift, Emily Ratajkowski, Romain Gavras and himself at the table.
  • The dinner marked Dunham’s birthday celebration and highlighted her more than 10-year friendship with Swift, who was first photographed with the writer-director at the 2013 Grammys.
  • In her recently released memoir Famesick, Dunham called Swift “one of my best friends in the world” and praised her for answering “every desperate call at every desperate hour.”
  • Ratajkowski’s appearance added another Swift link: after using “Karma” on TikTok in 2022, she said in 2023 that seeing Swift live turned her into a committed fan.
