December 13 was Taylor Swift’s 34th birthday, and the international superstar gathered with friends in New York City for an epic celebration. Boyfriend Travis Kelce wasn’t able to attend due to scheduling conflicts with practice for the Kansas City Chiefs, but it was a star-studded affair nonetheless.
Blake Lively, Miles Teller, Selena Gomez, Sabrina Carpenter, Gigi Hadid and Zoe Kravitz were all among those at the party.

The paparazzi were obviously also in attendance, and the group pulled a new trick out of their collective hats to get a candid photo of the pop queen: singing. The quorum of photographers busted out a rendition of “Happy Birthday,” catching Swift off-guard.
