CELEBRITY
Taylor Swift sets up a giant inflatable slide, outdoor bar and fire pit as she hosts star-studded private party at her $18m Rhode Island mansion, and Travis Kelce was NOT invited

Taylor Swift knows how to throw a party — and this Fourth of July weekend, she pulled out all the stops for her celebrity friends at her $17.75 million mansion in Rhode Island.
The 26-year-old pop star transformed her sprawling estate into a red, white, and blue paradise, complete with a massive inflatable slide next to her pool, an outdoor bar, grill, ping pong table, fire pit for marshmallows, and miniature American flags lining the lawn. It was the ultimate Independence Day celebration.
A Guest List of A-Listers
Taylor was joined by her then-boyfriend Tom Hiddleston, as well as a glamorous lineup of A-list friends including Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Ruby Rose, Cara Delevingne, Uzo Aduba, Abigail Anderson, and Britany Maack.
Supermodel Gigi Hadid turned heads in a $168 Solid & Striped swimsuit, while Karlie Kloss and Blake Lively were also spotted joining the fun. Blake, who was pregnant with her second child, wore a stylish striped bikini that showed off her baby bump — and somehow, not an ounce of baby weight elsewhere.
All Eyes on “Hiddleswift”
The spotlight, however, was firmly on Taylor and Tom. The couple couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they frolicked in the waves, hugged in the water, and walked hand-in-hand along the shore. Tom, 35, even wore a tank top with the bold declaration: “I ❤️ T.S.”, along with a temporary tattoo of a heart featuring her initials. Taylor, for her part, wore a patriotic Forever 21 two-piece and sported her own temporary tattoo — though she skipped a matching “T.H.”
PDA Showdown
Their steamy display rivaled even the cuddly moments shared by Blake and Ryan. The couple, who married in 2012, looked more in love than ever, sharing kisses in the ocean and playing together in the surf. Ryan also showed off rarely-seen leg tattoos and wore patriotic body paint — though the waves quickly washed it away.
Model Ruby Rose and her girlfriend Harley Gusman also got in on the romance, holding hands and posing together, though their PDA couldn’t quite match the intensity of “Hiddleswift.”
Glamour and Gossip
As fireworks lit up the sky, the beach was packed with beautiful people in even more beautiful swimwear. Gigi Hadid stunned in a tiny black two-piece, while Taylor’s childhood bestie Abigail Anderson opted for a classy one-piece.
Conspicuously absent? DJ Calvin Harris, who had recently split from Taylor after 15 months of dating. Instead, he spent the holiday weekend flaunting his own carefree vacation with friends and teasing music collaborations on Snapchat, captioning one post: “I write songs.”
The Mansion Behind the Magic
Taylor purchased her 8-bedroom, 10.5-bathroom, 11,000-square-foot mansion in 2013 for $17.75 million — in cash. The home sits on 5.23 waterfront acres, offering stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the perfect setting for her annual patriotic parties.
Love, Fireworks, and Maybe a Bit of Drama
As the sun set on an unforgettable day, Taylor and Tom continued to bask in the honeymoon glow of their budding romance, breaking away from the group for private moments and public displays of affection. Despite whispers of her “love addiction,” Taylor seemed happier than ever.
For now, the beach bash was a success — and left fans wondering who won the PDA crown: Blake and Ryan, or Taylor and Tom?
