Over the weekend, Taylor Swift made a memorable return to the stage after her summer of love with Tom Hiddleston.

The blonde beauty finally surfaced from her relationship world tour to perform at a birthday bash in The Hamptons, alongside ’00s icon, Nelly.

Attendees at model Karlie Kloss and oil heir Mike Hess’ joint celebration were given the treat of seeing the songstress perform Kelly Rowland’s lines in the rapper’s 2002 classic, Dilemma, with the man himself.

The fun-filled, flirty duet was met with resounding cheers as the pair danced their way around each other, but apparently Taylor needed a little convincing before she felt comfortable stepping into the spotlight.

“Taylor was in an amazing mood, and super fun all night,” a source recalled to E! News, adding “She danced her ass off.”

“At first she didn’t want to perform but then Nelly asked her. Everyone was super into it, the crowd loved it.”

Taylor was even spotted kissing the cheek of the birthday boy Mike…

The insider also revealed that the Shake It Off singer was flying solo without her high-profile beau, but that didn’t stop her from planting a few kisses!

In a Snapchat video recorded by a party guest, Tay can be seen strutting her way over to birthday boy Mike before giving him a cheeky smooch.

The pair continued to dance closely with each other with Mike holding onto the 26-year-old’s hips, but that was allegedly all that transpired between the pair who have been friends for years.

A 2014 snapshot from Heidi Klum’s Instagram shows the pair enjoying each other’s company with Taylor’s best friend, Karlie Kloss.

Meanwhile, it would seem that any mention of Taylor’s name still proves to be a sore spot for her ex-boyfriend, Calvin Harris.

Upon receiving the Icon award at the Caesars Palace’s 50th Anniversary Gala on Saturday night, the DJ was subjected to a joke that made reference to his former flame.

“Nice suit – who is your Taylor?” host Howie Mandel said to the Scottish musician.

The Blank Space hitmaker has moved on, while Calvin confirms that he is “still definitely single.”

“Nice one … I guess you had that one prepared,” he fired back, clearly shaken up about the sudden mention of his former flame.

“Calvin was not impressed with that joke at all. It was as if Howie did not know that he and Taylor had split up, so it appeared to be a diss to Calvin,” one guest revealed to The Sun.

“He just looked completely shell shocked.”

Calvin and Taylor announced their split in June earlier this year. Just two weeks later, the songstress was pictured kissing British actor Tom Hiddleston.
