Have we been transported back to 2014? Katy Perry is making pop music again, TV is all about the Game of Thrones universe, and now, Taylor Swift is throwing more Rhode Island parties.
Back in 2013, Swift famously purchased High Watch (formerly “Holiday House”) in Westerly, Rhode Island, putting her in possession of the most expensive private home in the entire state and the perfect venue for house parties. Not long after her purchase, the pop singer launched a tradition of hosting Fourth of July bashes at the estate every year, which were attended by some of her most famous friends and documented, to the envy of everyone who didn’t get an invite, on Instagram.
However, when Swift stepped away from the spotlight in 2016 (when she began dating Joe Alwyn), the parties at High Watch ceased—that is, until she revived them in 2023, the same year she embarked on her Earth-shattering Eras Tour. (She skipped this year due to the fact that her Eras Tour was touring across the globe.)
Now, it seems like Swift is ready to keep the party rolling, as she just hosted another festivity at her New England mansion, where she reunited with her NFL beau, Travis Kelce, all while hosting a few of her other A-list friends. Below, see everything we know about the star-studded gathering.
The event reunited Taylor and Travis.
As Swift wrapped up the European leg of her Eras Tour, she had to spend a few weeks away from Kelce, whom she was last spotted with in mid-July, when he attended one of her shows in Germany. However, the two finally had their reunion this past weekend, as captured in a series of photos from TMZ.
In the photos, Swift and Kelce were seen catching some fresh air on one of the balconies at High Watch. Swift wore a white spaghetti strap top underneath a patterned button-up, while Kelce kept it casual in a white muscle tank.
According to reports, the pair were joined by members of Kelce’s family, including his brother Jason, and Jason’s wife, Kylie.
Other celebrity friends joined in on the occasion.
This wasn’t solely a family affair, though. In addition to members of the Kelce family, the pair were joined by friends like Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate, Patrick Mahomes, as well as Mahomes’s wife, Brittany. Meanwhile, Swift’s close friends Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, were also spotted at the residence, as well as Bradley Cooper (which would lead us to believe his girlfriend and longtime pal of Swift, Gigi Hadid, was likely in attendance too).
It acted partly as a celebration of Blake Lively’s birthday.
Speaking of Lively, the It Ends With Us star turned 37 on Sunday, which means the Rhode Island get-together likely acted as a birthday celebration, too.
In photos captured by DeuxMoi, Lively was seen sharing a kiss with her hubby outside of the Rhode Island abode, where the Gossip Girl star rocked an orange swimsuit top and floral shorts, while Reynolds sported a salmon short-sleeve shirt and a navy baseball cap.
There were multiple generations in the mix.
While Swift’s Fourth of July parties may be more geared toward adults, her latest gathering saw many of the guests bringing their kids—including Kylie and Jason, the Mahomeses, Cooper, and Reynolds and Lively. When you’ve got over 10,000 square feet of interior space, a pool, sprawling balconies, and more—why not let the kids run around and enjoy the fun too?
