A Peek Inside Taylor Swift's Insanely Pretty Birthday Party (with New BFF Lorde!)

Is a future collaboration too much to ask?

Taylor Swift, who is practically professionally adorable (see: karaokeing with Prince William, designing polka-dot sneakers, matching her outfit to her red holiday Starbucks cup), celebrated her 24th birthday in the swiftiest—a synonym for cutest, in case you didn't know—way possible. She threw a super fancy, balloon-festooned garden party in Melbourne with all of her best pals, including, much to everyone's delight, Lorde. Because why wouldn't the two coolest girls in showbiz who sing catchy pop jams and have enviable hair be BFFs?

Taylor and Lorde were first spotted together at Shake Shack in NYC last month, where they presumably talked about boys (aaaaand taking over the world one teen anthem at a time) over chocolate milkshakes. And now they're such besties that Lorde flew all the way to Australia just for the birthday bash. Because that's what friends are for.

And really, when Taylor Swift invites you to her birthday party, you go. See what we mean?

There were sparklers.

And flowers (because: garden party).

And lots and lots of balloons.

And pretty girls in pretty dresses.

So yeah, best birthday ever. Or at least until next year rolls around.
