Look, the Fourth of July is the best holiday — not only does it involve barbecue and fireworks, but it also falls on a Saturday this year. I think that's more than enough reason to go all out celebrating the birth of the United States. Celebrities are celebrating the Fourth of July in style, posting pics and well-wishes on social media. I mean, this holiday is so big that Taylor Swift started her July Fourth celebration early with a party attended by her ever-growing squad and new beau, Calvin Harris, giving me a serious case of jealous. (I love Harris and swan floats, OK?)
Swift captioned a photo of her and Harris as "Friendly relations between Scotland and America" (Harris is Scottish, FYI), and other stars are showing their patriotism just like the "Bad Blood" singer. American flags, pool parties, and fireworks — you name it, the celebs are on it! Luckily, this Independence Day is a looong weekend for us all, giving everyone some much needed rest and more time for day drinking, grilling some food, lying on the beach, and — if you live in an area that allows it — setting off some of your own fireworks.
Check out how some of your favorite celebs are kicking off the Fourth of July this year.
