Taylor Swift and a gal pal go shopping in Beverly Hills.

Every once in a while I kid myself and say I'm going to get real dressed up to go shopping because like, it makes you spend less money or buy better clothes or something else Freud probably wrote. But then I opt for the boyfriend jeans and a baseball tee and call it a day. Taylor Swift, on the other hand, apparently dons her Sunday best for her shopping trips, and she's a better woman for it (let's be honest). The "Safe & Sound" singer was spotted shopping with a pal in Beverly Hills yesterday, and she wore what most of us might wear to a wedding. But hey, that's why they pay her the big bucks. (Well, part of the reason.)

Tay's been busy laying down new tracks and updating us about it on Twitter. Earlier this month Taylor tweeted, "Recording the next album. So happy," and included an unsurprisingly adorable photo of herself plucking her guitar. But making music is hard work, guys! Sometimes you need to give yourself a break. A break that includes credit cards and new shoes.
