Swifties got another glimpse into Taylor Swift's star-studded birthday celebrations on Sunday, thanks to her longtime friend Blake Lively.
Blake shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos from Taylor's 34th birthday last week, along with a gushing message about the pop icon.
In the new photos, Taylor hung out with her A-list teammates, hugged Blake and blew out the candles for her cake.
'Somehow she's even better in real life. Happy birthday to the one and only,” Blake, 36, captioned the post.
The post also included several party photos that Taylor shared after her birthday bash last week.

The new snaps include a few more moments that were previously invisible to fans, including a group photo of Blake, Taylor, Gigi Hadid and Keleigh Sperry.
The photos also captured the moment Taylor was presented with her cake as she hugged Blake.
Taylor shared photos from her birthday party last week, with photos showing her with Blake, Gigi, Sabrina Carpenter and more. However, there was no sign of her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
She was presented with a frosted, layered cake by Zoe Kravitz and enjoyed a tasty cocktail with Jack Antonoff.
She showed off her cheeky side as she stuck her tongue out at the camera and held her nearly empty drink.
“I can't believe this year… actually… happened?” Thank you for all your beautiful birthday wishes yesterday,” she captioned the post.
The photos showed the crowd cheering Taylor on as Zoë presented her with her birthday cake.
The partygoers gathered for a group photo where Taylor was seen putting an arm around Blake and another friend as Zoe held up the cake.

She also shared a photo of herself striking a silly pose with Sabrina.
The post comes after Taylor was spotted in style on her birthday as she headed out on the town with friends Blake, Gigi and more on Wednesday night.
The singer – who received a beautiful bouquet of flowers on her special day – looked ultra sexy in a glitzy $2,335 black Clio Peppiat mini dress, which showed off her legs.
The flirty gown featured a beautiful nighttime design with a large silver moon with sequins on the front and sparkling star and cloud appliqués.
She rested a glamorous black fur coat in the crook of her arms.

Swift stepped out of a black SUV with her security team and held Lively as they entered the swanky Freemans restaurant before heading to The Box nightclub.
Missing from the event was her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who a source told DailyMail.com is “very excited” to celebrate with her. PEOPLE confirmed he will be in Kansas City for mandatory training.
Earlier Wednesday, a bouquet of 20 pink peonies was delivered to Swift's lavish Manhattan penthouse and brought inside by her security guard.
The flowers were believed to be from her boyfriend Travis Kelce, whom she started dating this summer.
An insider told DailyMail.com exclusively last week that Swift is “really excited” for her NFL star boyfriend to meet her friends and celebrate with her.

The source also said the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is “nervous” because he wants to spoil her and make it “the best day ever” for the superstar.
Many more flower deliveries arrived throughout the day, and a party truck was also seen picking up the remains of a fun evening at her apartment.
She enjoyed a PDA-filled pre-birthday party with Travis and his mother Donna in Kansas City, Missouri before jetting off to New York on Tuesday.
They were also joined by Travis' teammate, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and his wife Brittany.
Since Travis is currently back in Kansas City for mandatory training, he was absent Tuesday night when Taylor kicked off her birthday celebration at Manhattan's Zero Bond with BFF Selena Gomez, 31, and actor Miles Teller, 36.

However, insiders revealed that he is reportedly keen to continue celebrating her special day throughout the holiday, and even into 2024, with plans to join her on tour.
“Travis will be with her and he's very nervous because he wants this to be her best birthday ever,” a source told DailyMail.com of her birthday.
“It's not about gifts for him, even if he gets gifts for her, but he wants to give her an experience that will probably be more than just today,” she added.
“He wants to take charge at Christmas and New Year and make it all about her,” the source continued.

'He wants to be with her as often as possible and after the season he wants to go on tour with her.
“They're going to take their romance all over the world,” the insider said of the long-distance couples' vacation plans. “He's really excited to make her feel like a princess.”
A separate source detailed Taylor's plans for the evening, saying that Taylor is excited to introduce her new man to those closest to her.
“Taylor is celebrating her annual birthday party with close friends and is excited for Travis to meet them all,” they said.
“She's in love and this is the best current life can offer her right now.”
