Few cultural phenomena define a summer like Taylor Swift

’s Fourth of July parties. Her Rhode Island mansion became the scene of star-studded celebrations, complete with squad selfies, beach games, and enough inflatable swans to start a theme park. Every year, fans and media alike watched for signs of another iconic bash. As the Fourth rolled around in 2025, all eyes were once again on Watch Hill for any hints of fireworks, both literal and metaphorical.

As playlists hit repeat on ‘Cruel Summer’ and sparklers took over Instagram, fans could not help but wonder: what was Taylor Swift’s plan this Fourth of July?

What went down at Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island mansion this Fourth of July?

Taylor Swift did not bring back her iconic Fourth of July bash in 2025

, and for many, that felt like a summer playlist missing its biggest hit. This year, instead of hosting a star-studded Rhode Island rager, she opted for a quiet celebration with Travis Kelce, family, and close friends.

However, this in no way is a declaration of the singer moving on from her 4th of July celebrations, but according to a source’s statement to Daily Mail

is simply a “gap yea

r” after the year that she has had. While her sprawling seaside mansion was still deep in renovations, the inflatable swans and squad photos stayed firmly in the archives; nostalgia was served, with no side of fireworks.

Taylor Swift’s Fourth of July parties were once cultural events in themselves, peaking between 2013 and 2016

with Blake Lively

, Ryan Reynolds

, and Gigi Hadid

all in attendance. But after 2016, the singer retreated from those high-profile gatherings. With her ‘Reputation’ era and Joe Alwyn romance came privacy pivots, and political disillusionment also seemed to dampen her party mood. Though she tested the waters with a small gathering in 2023, the full-scale fête never quite made a comeback.

While Taylor Swift pressed pause on her glittery gatherings, another storyline bubbled up: would her squad’s crown jewel, Blake Lively, still make the hypothetical guest list?

Would Blake Lively still have a seat at Taylor Swift’s iconic summer table?

Taylor Swift’s friendship with Blake Lively, once a cornerstone of those squad-filled Fourth of July parties, has recently surfaced in court headlines linked to Justin Baldoni drama.

Naturally, fans are now playing social media detective, speculating whether Lively would still snag an invite if the Rhode Island bash ever returned. After all, Swift’s guest lists have always been as carefully curated as her Eras Tour setlist.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s romance with Travis Kelce is heating up

faster than a summer bonfire. From Mother’s Day festivities to wedding guest appearances, their bond has fans predicting a change in relationship status.

Could wedding bells or co-hosting duties be next? Perhaps 2026 will finally see the newly renovated mansion become party central again, with Swift and Kelce ushering in a fresh era of fireworks and friendship bracelets.
