Back in 2013, Swift famously purchased High Watch (formerly Holiday House, including in the singer’s 2020 track “The Last Great American Dynasty”) in Westerly, Rhode Island, putting her in possession of the most expensive private home in the entire state and the perfect venue for house parties. Not long after her purchase, the pop singer launched a tradition of hosting annual Fourth of July bashes at the estate, which were attended by some of her most famous friends and documented—to the envy of everyone who didn’t get an invite—on Instagram.
When Swift stepped away from the spotlight in 2016 (when she began dating Joe Alwyn), the parties at High Watch ceased—that is, until she revived them in 2023, the same year she embarked on her earth-shattering Eras Tour. (She skipped this year due to the fact that she was taking the tour all over the globe.
Now, it seems Swift is ready to get the party rolling again, as she just hosted another festivity at the New England mansion, where she reunited with her NFL beau, Travis Kelce, while hosting a few of her other A-list friends. Below, see everything we know about the star-studded gathering.
As Swift wrapped up the European leg of her Eras Tour, she had to spend a few weeks away from Kelce, whom she was last spotted with in mid-July, when he attended one of her shows in Germany. However, the two finally had their reunion this past weekend, as captured in a series of photos from TMZ.

In the photos, Swift and Kelce were seen catching some fresh air on one of the balconies at High Watch. Swift wore a white spaghetti-strap top underneath a patterned button-up, while Kelce kept it casual in a white muscle tank.

According to reports, the pair were joined by members of Kelce’s family, including his brother Jason and Jason’s wife, Kylie.
Other celebrity friends joined in on the occasion.
This wasn’t solely a family affair, though. In addition to members of the Kelce family, the pair were joined by friends like Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and Mahomes’s wife, Brittany. Swift’s close friends Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were also spotted at the residence, as was Bradley Cooper (which would lead us to believe his girlfriend and longtime Swift pal Gigi Hadid was likely in attendance too).
It served partly as a celebration of Blake Lively’s birthday.
Speaking of Lively, the It Ends With Us star turned 37 on Sunday, which means the Rhode Island get-together likely served as a birthday celebration, too.

In photos shared by Deuxmoi, Lively was seen sharing a kiss with her hubby outside of the Rhode Island abode, where the Gossip Girl star rocked an orange bikini top and floral shorts, while Reynolds sported a salmon short-sleeved shirt and a navy baseball cap.

There were multiple generations in the mix.
While Swift’s Fourth of July parties may be more geared toward adults, her latest gathering saw many of the guests bringing their kids—including Kylie and Jason, the Mahomeses, Cooper, and Reynolds and Lively. When you’ve got over 10,000 square feet of interior space, a pool, sprawling balconies, and more, why not let the kids run around and enjoy the fun too?
