Taylor Swift and an unidentified dude stepped out to lunch in New York City on Thursday, and we doubt this was a hot date (we're thinking he's just a friend or a business contact), but she was definitely dressed to impress in a cropped top and short skirt!

T. Swizzle wore a pair of bright pink suede pumps and carried a yellow purse, and in addition to flashing us a sweet smile, she made a few funny faces while deep in conversation with her companion. We're just dying to know what they were talking about! Probably not cats and antiques, but ya never know...

In other news, we keep getting photos of Tay Tay leaving the gym, but we never see her in spandex and sneakers. In fact, we didn't even realize that she was working out until someone at the New York Daily News pointed out that the country cutie has been taking dance classes at a fitness center recommended by pal Karlie Kloss. "She spends an hour in the locker room post-workout so she can look flawless for the photographers who follow her," a source dished to the newspaper. Can't say we blame her -- and she looks grrrreeeat!
