Sydney Sweeney Turns Heads With Tequila Shots And Sing-Alongs

Sydney Sweeney is officially in her single girl era, and she’s doing it with main character energy.

The “Euphoria” star was spotted Saturday night partying it up at the always-cool Ray’s Bar on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

Wearing a brown leather jacket and a glowing post-Italy tan, the newly single actress wasn’t hiding in the shadows. Instead, Sydney Sweeney made a splash by treating the entire bar to a round of tequila shots, prompting a full room of cheers.

According to Page Six, Sweeney was “holding court” at the owner’s table in the back of the trendy dive, fully embracing the carefree NYC vibe.

“Sydney Sweeney decided you’re not having enough fun, so she bought shots for the bar,” a bartender announced, per the outlet, much to the delight of the crowd.

The “White Lotus” and “Handmaid’s Tale” alum kept the energy high, leading a bar-wide sing-along to Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten,” the breakout anthem from her hit 2023 rom-com “Anyone But You.” It was giving rom-com IRL.

Sweeney’s NYC night out comes just weeks after she attended the $50 million Venetian wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, despite not being close friends with the couple. So, why was she there? Well, according to Page Six, she was paying her respects to the Amazon boss as a nod to old Hollywood traditions, since she’s starring in an upcoming blockbuster for Amazon MGM Studios.

While Sydney Sweeney is enjoying her single-girl glow-up, not everyone is impressed by her recent high-profile appearances. Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly stirred major backlash after suggesting that Sweeney was only invited to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s $50 million Venice wedding because of her physical appearance.

As The Blast reported, on a recent episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the host took aim at Sweeney’s attendance, questioning why the actress was even on the guest list. “Sydney Sweeney’s the new toast out there because she’s got these enormous breasts that everybody’s obsessed with,” she said. “How does she wind up there?”

Kelly then contrasted Sweeney’s invite with that of Bezos’ longtime colleagues or fellow tech titans like Bill Gates, suggesting that Sweeney’s inclusion was more about image than personal connection.

“If you told me it was like Lauren Sánchez’s colleagues from the first news station she worked at, sure, that’s normal,” she added. “Or Jeff Bezos when he first opened Amazon, yeah, OK, I get it… Even Bill Gates was there. I’ll give him that one.”

Her comments sparked a wave of backlash on social media, with many calling her “jealous.”

Though Sydney Sweeney has publicly embraced single life, her love life remains a hot topic, especially after she reunited with her “Downfalls High” co-star Machine Gun Kelly a few months ago in Las Vegas.

The pair were spotted getting close during the outing, with a video captured by the Daily Mail showing them laughing, chatting, and leaning in for whispered exchanges that immediately sparked buzz. Their chemistry was hard to ignore, and the clip quickly fueled speculation online that something more could be brewing between them.

Shortly after their Vegas meetup, MGK shared a playful photo of the two together, only adding fuel to the fire. Fans were quick to question whether their connection was purely friendly or a sign of a deeper relationship forming, especially as both stars navigate high-profile breakups.
