Taylor Swift has been enjoying her days off with some of her girlfriends in New Zealand, posing for pictures against a scenic backdrop and taking some time out to enjoy life.

The 23-year-old star has been posting pictures onto her Twitter of her idyllic adventure – accompanied by some of her best female friends.

The singer/songwriter performed to thousands in Auckland on Sunday, and posted pictures of herself the day after the epic gig enjoying the clear blue skies and fresh air.

Wearing a modest lace dress the star posed along the shore and said: ‘New Zealand, thank you for your loud crowds and for days like this.’

She also posted a picture of herself and two girls saying: ‘Some of my favorite people, onstage and off.’

It looks like Taylor enjoyed her well-earned day off and has taken some close friends on tour with her.

In a final picture from the scenic spot, Taylor stands with her arms outstretched looking at the sky with her mid-length white, lace dress floating in the wind.

The singer captioned the photo: ‘Farewell lovely NZ, now we're off to Sydney...’

Earlier that weekend the star was spotted in the Kiwi city shopping with her 55-year-old mother, Andrea.

The mother and daughter looked like they shopped until they dropped – but Taylor does have a huge new house to fill.

The young singer recently bought an oceanfront $17 million mansion in Watch Hill, an affluent coastal town in Rhode Island.

With seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms in 11,000 square feet, that's a lot of space to furnish.

By the time the concert rolled around that evening, Taylor was rearing to go.

Taylor's circus-themed show featured 15 dancers and 11 band members, with a carousel, music box, flying sparks and mega-sized screens.

I sometimes wonder whether people actually take the time to have fun on their outings when they spend so much time taking posed pictures.

At her age one would rather with a boyfriend for the holiday...she always seems to be alone or with her staff.

It's all so posed. Since when do you have a girly day out and pose like that? Get a life.

She has the knobbliest knees I have ever seen on a woman! Can't bear her, but she looks much more attractive than usual in the pics with her friends. Maybe she should wear less make up and smile more on a regular basis.

Compare her snaps to Rihanna's or that awful Cyrus creature, she has more class in her little finger than most pop stars of her age

Taylor is stunning and so talented! Happy to see that she gets a day off every once in a while to do something fun and not to get wasted. Only 8 weeks until I see the RED tour in London!!!!
