Taylor Swift was back at Watch Hill for a Fourth of July bash. Here's who came with her.
Taylor Swift is bringing back all her different eras – including the Fourth of July party in Rhode Island.
After skipping the iconic bash for several years, Taylor Swift posted pictures on Instagram on Friday of her celebrating at her Watch Hill Mansion for several of her famous pals.
"Happy belated Independence Day from your local neighborhood independent girlies," the star wrote on Instagram.
The first picture is a classic group shot, with Swift in the middle; the three Haim sisters Este, Alana and Danielle; Selena Gomez; Nashville stylist Ashley Avignone and her brother's reported girlfriend Sydney Ness.
Haim shared some of the photos on their Instagram account Haim the Band, captioning them "single summer."
The other pictures show the crew sharing some drinks, sharing a red, white and blue popsicle, and, it looks like, singing karaoke.
There's also a shot of Swift sitting on the wall in front of the ocean.
The outdoor pictures show beautiful blue skies, suggesting that maybe parts of the celebration was a little belated in addition to the pictures, as this Fourth of July delivered torrential rain for much of the day, postponing firework shows.

"Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" is the third in her series of re-recordings since the sale of her master recordings in 2020.

Taylor Swift's house in Rhode Island
Dubbed the “Holiday House,” the Watch Hill mansion was bought by Swift in 2013, complete with an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a past that ties it to the Standard Oil fortune. The songwriter spun the story of the house’s past — and the divorcee who lived there, Rebekah Harkness — into the song "Great American Dynasty” in her eighth studio album, "Folklore."
The song "Great American Dynasty" is part of her set list in the Era's Tour. After her brief vacation in Rhode Island, she's back on the road and performing in Kansas City this weekend.
