The singer gave birth to her first child with Beau’s daughter Iris three months ago.
The British singer and her boyfriend were among 1,000 guests at the epic event held at Madison Square Garden.
Taylor and fellow singer Ellie first met on the Jonathan Ross Show in 2012 and have been close friends ever since.
“I was really nervous, because he’s a legend,” Ellie recalled years later, “and I remember thinking, ‘Please don’t act like an idiot, Ellie, don’t say anything stupid.'”
Ellie was relieved when Taylor later quoted one of his lesser-known lyrics to her.
Taylor later invited Ellie as a special guest on her Red Tour in 2013 and later on her 1989 World Tour in 2015.
Their collaboration continued in 2015, when Ellie was featured as the Destructa X character in Taylor’s star-studded Bad Blood music video.
Ellie, on the other hand, once served as a pre-marital matchmaker for Taylor and set her up with her close friend Calvin Harris. The duo dated for a year in 2015.
She explained at the time: ‘Calvin is a really great friend and he’s so amazing, and Taylor is a great person who I love. I thought, ‘They’re both really great and they’re both very tall.’ They will be great together.”
In her spare time, Ellie insisted Taylor was one of her most down-to-earth friends, saying: ‘She’s really funny. He has a very British sense of humour. ‘We love doing scenes from The Office.’
