In what has become an annual tradition for Taylor Swift, Tay-Tay hosted a giant party at her huge Rhode Island mansion for the 4th of July celebration. Taylor famously loves America’s Independence Day, and I think this is the third year (at least?) that she’s done a big shindig at her Rhode Island place. According to reports, Calvin Harris and Taylor arrived in Rhode Island on July 1, but I’m pretty sure Calvin had to work on the Fourth. But at least they got to have a few days to celebrate! Then Taylor’s girl squad came over, plus Ed Sheeran, and everybody got into the pool with some swan floaties.

Anyway, Calvin Harris & Taylor Swift have become increasingly more and more comfortable with putting their love all over social media. On July 2nd, Calvin posted the photo of Taylor at the grill with the message “She cooks too.” Which is sweet (and slightly patronizing, but mostly cute). Then Swifty posted the photo of Calvin giving her a piggyback ride with the message “Friendly relations between Scotland and America.” And of course Ed Sheeran was included on this Instagram extravaganza too – he came to Rhode Island for the party wearing a bright red coat (get it, redcoat?) and Taylor wrote “When Ed shows up in a red coat for the 4th of July because he just can’t let it go.”

So, is all of this impossibly cute? Of course. Does it make you want to be part of Swifty’s squad? Eh. I wouldn’t fit in with these people. I know that. But I do enjoy looking at the photos. I’m sort of surprised Kendrick Lamar wasn’t invited to Rhode Island this year.
