Taylor Swift went paddle boarding in Rhode Island on Tuesday in a two-piece bikini and was photographed confidently steered the board across a lake, Daily Mail reported.

The 23-year-old wore a red bikini set and sported sunglasses and a deep tan. Swift was enjoyed time out in the sun as she took a break from her U.S. tour in support of her fourth studio album, Red.

She also took a break from her tour by going to dinner on July 19 with collaborators Ed Sheeran and Austin Mahone at Ralph's Italian Restaurant in Philadelphia. The trio celebrated their nominations for an MTV Video Music Award by posing for a restaurant photo making gestures for "V M A." Swift uploaded the photo onto Twitter on July 20 with a caption thanking fans for her nomination.

Swift's team left a $500 tip at the end of the meal, the restaurant's chef told E! News. The singers also took photos with the head chef.

"I called my mom to tell her Swift was there, and she wanted me to take a picture because she is a big fan," he said. "My son has autism, and while I'm at work my mom and my son love to listen to her music. He loves her music!"

Swift then shocked the chef by giving him two tickets to her concert, which was the following night.

"It was so kind-hearted of her," the chef gushed. "My son is 11. It was my son and I's first concert we've ever been to! It was really special."

Speaking about hosting Swift and her friends, the restaurant's manager reportedly said, "It was a very nice experience, very easy. Taylor was really very down to Earth."
