Swift has remained largely out of the public eye in in past months, only recently making a comeback with her new hit single, “Look What You Made Me Do.” She has not yet personally addressed or announced her donation to the Foodbank of Houston.
“E! News” spotted Swift in Martha’s Vineyard, where one of her friends, Abigail Anderson, is getting married this weekend. She hid behind umbrellas as paparazzi swarmed her arrival to a pre-wedding dinner with her parents. Flanked by security guards, Swift made no comments.
