Taylor Swift was back in Rhode Island over the weekend, hosting a birthday party at her Westerly mansion for actress Blake Lively.
Photos published by TMZ and The Daily Mail showed Swift was joined by boyfriend Travis Kelce, his brother Jason, and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the birthday bash on Saturday, which came during a month-long break in Swift’s Eras tour.
Also attending Lively’s 37th birthday party were her husband Ryan Reynolds, Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, and actor Bradley Cooper. The party was a family affair, with Mahomes’ daughter Sterling, 3, and Cooper’s daughter Lea, 7, also on hand.
Lively and Reynolds have been the first couple of the summer box office over the last month: Reynolds’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” crossed the $1.2 billion mark over the weekend, while Lively’s “It Ends With Us,” a romantic drama set in Boston, has earned more than $240 million worldwide since its August 9 release.

Swift has been generous with her Rhode Island home in the past. In 2023, she let Cooper and girlfriend Gigi Hadid stay there to “get to know each other,” per Page Six.
Hadid, Lively, and Reynolds all attended Swift’s 2016 Fourth of July bash at the mansion as well.
Swift even sang about the mansion, located in Westerly’s swank Watch Hill neighborhood, on her 2020 album “Folklore.”
Swift’s song “The Last Great American Dynasty” tells the tale of the mansion’s former inhabitant Rebekah Harkness, a wealthy widow who threw loud parties and rolled with a “squad” of high society types known as the “b**** pack.”
