In 2016, celebrities and fans alike would’ve done just about anything to get an invite to Taylor Swift’s iconic 4th of July party, also referred to as “Taymerica.” From fun in the sun at Taylor’s sprawling Rhode Island mansion to matching bathing suits with her girl gang, it looked like the party of the decade. Now, Swifties are finding out that Taylor actually broke into song during her party too, belting out Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” and the jealousy is only getting greener.

Taylor Swift’s 4th of July Performance

A never-before-seen video was just leaked of what it was like behind all those glamorous photos (you know the ones—the red-white-and-blue matching bathing suits, Tom Hiddleston’s I Heart TS shirt). It’s unknown who leaked the video (but we’re looking at you, Blake Lively), but nonetheless, fans were treated to a rendition of “I Will Always Love You” from the pop star herself.

In a room surrounded by friends with dimmed lighting and 4th of July decor strewn about, Taylor unexpectedly stepped up to the microphone and belted out the most difficult part of the song with ease as her friends sang along with her.
