In a sweet snap shared through Avignone’s Instagram on Sunday, December 29, the friends hugged while sitting side by side. Swift, 35, closed her eyes as she wrapped her arms around Avignone, who looked directly at the camera with a soft smile.
“Happy birthday to me, emphasis on the *happy* 😆,” Avignone captioned the post.
Avignone appeared to make a wish in front of her sprinkles-covered birthday cake in another snap, while a third showed the dessert’s festive message, which read “Ash Is 25 (again).” Avignone reposted the close-up of her cake via her Instagram Story and asked, “Who’s counting?”

Swift and Avignone’s friendship goes back several years. Celebrating Swift’s birthday in 2019, Avignone revealed that the pair had been friends for over a decade.
“30 years of life for you, 11 years of friendship for us,” Avignone wrote through Instagram at the time, alongside a series of snapshots of the two throughout the years. “Thank you for being the best friend, listener, dance party starter, story teller, hair cutting enthusiast, with the biggest, warmest and most generous heart. Happy Birthday Tay!! Love you to pieces ❤️.”
For Swift’s birthday this year, Avignone shared several behind-the-scenes photos from the milestone — which came days after the Eras Tour wrapped.

“When she thought she was going to a quiet little dinner but it was actually a huge surprise party with her friends and family, props included 🥳,” Avignone wrote via Instagram earlier this month.
In one snap, Kelce, 35, appeared to recreate Swift’s Red set from her record-breaking tour by donning a fedora-style hat as “22”. Avignone reposted the moment to her Instagram Story, writing, “And the last 22 hat goes to…”
Avignone has also been by the pop star’s side in many of Kelce’s NFL games. While watching the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII in February, Avignone praised Swift’s star-studded streak.
Avignone took to Instagram after the game to share a carousel of snaps and videos, including a clip of her and Swift chugging their drinks when the jumbotron panned to the twosome. Avignone put a cap on the post, “Viva Las Vegas.”
