Taylor Swift stopped at the North Haven Starbucks on Washington Avenue this afternoon.

Gia Rosarbo is the barista that served Taylor Swift and said it was a “very quick encounter.” Rosarbo said Swift had just got done visiting a child in North Haven and she stopped in and that “she had about five bodyguards with her.”

Rosarbo said they were trying to keep it quiet but then she asked Swift for a picture and Swift said sure and “gave me a big hug.”

Swift ordered a skinny caramel macchiato.

Earlier in the day Swift met with a woman named Steph and her son Leyton. She posted on her blog. She dropped off a mini car for Leyton.

“...she’s an absolutely incredible human being, and it IS a good thing that the press have finally started to focus on that rather than nonsense reported in the past.”

WTNH’s Darren Kramer tweeted a pick of the star this afternoon. Once word got out many expressed their sorrow over the missed opportunity to see the star.

Swift’s newest album 1989 is expected to gross $12 million in its first week, according to Forbes.
