Taylor Swift Threw a Birthday Bash for Blake Lively

This past weekend, the European leg of the Eras Tour had wrapped, the Chiefs were done with their preseason games, and Blake Lively was turning 37. This could only mean one thing: It was time to have a big party at Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island estate. Swift’s house, immortalized by both “the last great american dynasty” and the many Instagram posts from her Fourth of July parties over the years, is often the site of a summer rager. This time, though, the party seemed to have a more laid-back, family-friendly vibe.

The party was reportedly to celebrate Lively’s birthday, but it seems like a lot of the guests were Swift’s friends. I guess you can do that when you’re throwing the bash? TMZ got photos of Travis Kelce hanging out with his girlfriend on a balcony. This was the first time the two have been spotted together since he went to the Eras Tour in Germany back in July. Jason and Kylie Kelce were also in attendance, along with Travis’s teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany, according to the Daily Mail.

Both couples brought their kids, which is making me feel old because I remember when these parties featured models wearing matching American flag bathing suits and Tom Hiddleston in his “I <3 T.S.” tank top.

Speaking of models, Gigi Hadid’s boyfriend scored an invite despite the fact that Hadid couldn’t make it. Bradley Cooper was photographed at the mansion with his daughter, which means congratulations are in order. He’s successfully moved up Swift’s ranks from “best friend’s boyfriend” to just “friend,” which is a hard task for any man to achieve. It probably helps that he’s a big Jason Kelce fan.

Last but not least, the woman of the hour, Blake Lively, was there with her husband, Ryan Reynolds. I imagine they also brought their four children, bringing the kids total up to ten, not including the one Brittany Mahomes is currently pregnant with. Swift really wasn’t lying when she sang, “My friends all smell like weed or little babies.” Hopefully she can get the weed crew out to Rhode Island before the summer ends!
