Taylor Swift looked stunning in a bikini while enjoying the long Independence Day weekend with her famous friends, as seen in lively throwback photos she shared on Friday. The 33-year-old superstar, currently collaborating with Hayley Williams from Paramore and Fall Out Boy on the re-recorded version of “Speak Now,” posted snapshots on Instagram after a relaxing beach day with her pals.
In the photos, Taylor sported a red and white bikini top paired with denim cut-off shorts, playfully sticking out her tongue and flashing a peace sign. She appeared effortlessly natural with no makeup, wearing dark sunglasses and letting her blonde curls flow.
Joining Taylor were her close friends Selena Gomez, Alana Haim, Danielle Haim, Este Haim, Ashley Avignone, and Sydney Ness. Selena, 30, relaxed in an ecru sweater and denim shorts, leaning affectionately against Este Haim. Este, known for her role in the band Haim along with her sisters, showcased her athletic physique in a black one-piece swimsuit.
Haim will be accompanying Taylor on tour starting July 22 in Seattle, followed by performances in Santa Clara, CA, and five concerts at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, according to Billboard. Taylor’s stylist, Ashley Avignone, joined the festivities in a patriotic towel and a black triangle bikini top, while Sydney Ness exuded joy in a two-toned blue bikini top and high-waist denim shorts.
The group shared Polaroid-style photos of their time together, which included impromptu concerts and moments of relaxation. Taylor is also gearing up for the release of her re-recorded album “Speak Now,” amidst ongoing legal disputes over her original masters.
