Taylor Swift is in Rhode Island this weekend (and she brought some famous friends with her)
WESTERLY – Rhode Island's most famous part-time resident spent time this weekend at her Watch Hill home, along with her football star boyfriend, at least according to People magazine and TMZ.
Both outlets report that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce – along with pals Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper – were in Rhode Island this week, as the singer takes a break from her Eras tour, which resumes in October, and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end prepares for his season opener Sept. 5 against the Ravens.
Swift bought “Holiday House,” her Watch Hill mansion, back in 2013, and even wrote a song about the divorcee who once lived there, Rebekah Harkness, in her song "Great American Dynasty” on the "Folklore" album. She's been known to throw some epic July 4th holiday bashes at the home, hosting guests like Selena Gomez, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and more. As well, she reportedly loaned her home to pal Gigi Hadid and her rumored beau, Bradley Cooper. So it makes sense that the megastar would seek some R&R in Watch Hill.
Swift has been spotted out with Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kelce's teammate, Patrick Mahomes, on several occasions. The couple even joined Kelce at Swift's Amsterdam concert this summer.
Swift and Kelce, who have been a couple for just over a year, haven't been able to spend much time together this month, as he's been busy with preseason training and she has been traveling through Europe with her Eras tour.
Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds spotted kissing outside Swift's house
Longtime Swift BFF Blake Lively was also in town, according to People magazine. Deuxmoi, the celeb sighting and gossip site, posted photos of Lively, who celebrated her birthday on Sunday, kissing hubby Ryan Reynolds outside Holiday House. Reynolds recently revealed that Swift is a godmother to his children.
Lively was among the friends and family who celebrated the Chiefs' Super Bowl win along with Swift.
She, too, could use some down time, amid the drama swirling around her new movie, "It Ends With Us," with critics claiming she has not properly addressed the domestic violence plot line and instead promoted it as a rom-com.
Bradley Cooper spotted in Watch Hill, along with his daughter
Actor Bradley Cooper, who has been linked to Swift's friend, Gigi Hadid, was in town, according to the Daily Mail. His 7-year-old daughter joined the party, as did at least one of the Mahomes' children.
Cooper and Hadid are no strangers to Rhode Island. Swift reportedly loaned her Watch Hill home to the couple last fall, so they could enjoy some alone time. Hadid has also been spotted at Swift's famous Fourth of July parties.
They picked a great weekend for a trip to the Ocean State, with lots of sun and temps in the lower 80s.
Newlywed Olivia Culpo in Rhode Island, too
Olivia Culpo, fresh off her June wedding to San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey, is also in the Ocean State this weekend, according to her Instagram posts.
Culpo, who wed in a star-studded celebration at the Ocean House in Westerly, is a Rhode Island native, a part-time restaurateur, model and former Miss Universe.
