Pop star Taylor Swift looks to be having anything but a "Cruel Summer" as she soaks up every available opportunity to spend time with her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce ahead of football season.
But even before Swift, 35, and Kelce, 35, began dating, the songstress had made a reputation for herself for being the season's hostess with the mostest—particularly when it comes to the Fourth of July.
Beginning in 2013, the same year that she purchased her Watch Hill dwelling for $17.75 million, Swift has gathered some of her nearest and dearest at the property to mark the patriotic holiday in true celebrity style.

Swift—who was recently seen enjoying a lunch date with Kelce near his Ohio hometown—has not yet revealed whether she's planning to host a July Fourth event for 2025; however, she may well have a good reason to want to showcase her Rhode Island dwelling to her closest pals.
The residence—which is located in the exclusive enclave of Watch Hill in Westerly and is known locally as "Holiday House"—currently sprawls across 11,000 square feet and features seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
However, it was revealed at the start of the year, that Swift was carrying out some extensive renovations to the property that will see it outfitted with an additional bedroom.
