Taylor Swift enjoyed a night out in London as she celebrated her boyfriend Joe Alwyn’s 29th birthday on Saturday.

The low-key couple of two years were joined by Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn and two other friends as they took a table at swanky London restaurant Bob Bob Ricard.

And Joe’s famous friends appeared to have treated the actor to a copy of the dictionary, with Taylor’s bodyguard carrying a stack of books and birthday cards to the car, including the Mini Oxford English Dictionary and A Month in the Country.

A source explained that the friends enjoyed using a button on the table that read ‘press for champagne’, getting constant top ups on their glasses.  

After spending several hours at the table, Taylor and Joe decided to use large patio umbrellas to go incognito on their way to their waiting car. 

Her fellow pop star Sheeran saw the funny side of the secret exit, pictured laughing as he walked to his separate vehicle with wife Cherry.

Dressed in a black Yves Saint Laurent hoodie, dark jeans and laceless charcoal shoes, the Shape Of You singer was seen climbing into a car stocked with a bottle of champagne. 

Strength in numbers: Ed Sheeran, 29, also dined at the swanky Soho restaurant Bob Bob Ricard, presumably to celebrate Joe's 29th birthday with the couple

Taylor’s outing came days after she shared a live acoustic version of her latest single The Man from a performance in Paris.

It was reported the same day that her father had had a chilling run-in with a burglar at his penthouse in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Scott Swift arrived at his $4million home at 10pm on the night of January 17, where he ran into the thief and had a brief struggle before the culprit ran away, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Helping hand: Since Taylor had her hands full with the umbrella, her bodyguard carried along her possessions, including her brown Louis Vuitton handbag and some reading material
