Only after Taylor Swift gifted us with a ton of pictures of herself celebrating the Fourth of July with Haim, Selena Gomez, and several other friends is it officially declared that the holiday is for the girls. Well, observer:

 

The singer posted the sequence of photos, which featured her relaxing on the grass with her friends, sipping wine, and generally living her best life. The singer is now on her Eras Tour AND dropping the rerelease of her Speak Now album (!!!). “Happy belated Independence Day from your local neighborhood independent girlies ,” was her caption for the photo. She said, “See you tonight, Kansas Cityyy,” referring to the city where she will be performing tonight. (If you believe that I’m not currently searching for a flight to get there by tonight, think again.)

Tay revealed her most recent rerelease on May 5th with an Instagram post that went viral and has received just around 11 million Likes to date:

“I am extremely proud and happy to announce that my rendition of Speak Now will be available on July 7—perfect for July 9th, iykyk . I wrote Speak Now entirely on my own when I was eighteen or twenty years old. The songs that emerged from this period of my life were characterized by their raw wistfulness, candid diaries, and merciless honesty. The singer stated in the statement that she loved the album “because it tells a tale of growing up, flailing, flying and crashing…and living to speak about it.” It also disclosed that the rerelease of the record includes six more tracks from the vault.

Time travel: yesterday, the day before the album was supposed to be released, many astute fans assumed that John Mayer’s Instagram Story had something to do with the record’s arrival after he shared a picture of lights from his most recent Colorado gig that included drones spelling out the words “please be kind.”
