As we celebrated New Year's Eve 2018, a happy and festive Taylor Swift threw the party of the year.
The singer was also celebrating the release of her Netflix special, the Reputation concert film. As she gathered her closest friends, Swift made sure they all dressed up as their childhood heroes.
The A- List soiree included Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Hadid dressed up as Mary Poppins, Lively went as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, and Swift herself went as Ariel from The Little Mermaid.
“Mary Poppins, Audrey, Ariel, Ms. Frizzle, Cinderella, Gwen, Mr. Toad, Avril, Nancy Drew, Posh Spice, Rizzo, Frida Kahlo, Steve Irwin, Dorothy," Swift wrote in a caption of a group photo on Instagram.
"This new year we decided to dress up as our childhood heroes. Sending you all love and hope going into 2019?”
Swift shared her Netflix documentary with the party, as Hadid shared snippets of it on social media. The concert film received critical acclaim and takes place on the last night of her first stadium tour.
2017 had been a difficult time for the "Look What You Made Me Do" singer.

She had recently made up with her enemy Kanye West - after he infamously told her she didn't deserve her award at the 2009 VMAs.
However the lead single from Kanye West's seventh studio album The Life of Pablo, features the controversial lyrics "For all my Southside ni**as that know me best/ I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ I made that b**ch famous."
The singer's reps issued a message stating she "cautioned" the rapper "about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message" and had never approved being referred to as a "b**ch."
But West's wife Kim Kardashian took to Twitter with a different story, coincidentally on National Snake Day.
Kardashian also urged her Twitter followers to check out her Snapchat story, where she'd posted a video recording of West on the phone with Swift. The video appeared to show Swift verbally signing off to West's mention of her in the song.
She even said his description of wanting to have sex with her was a "compliment."
Kardashian's video did not, however, include Swift hearing or approving the line "I made that b**ch famous."
Nevertheless, trolls flooded Swift's comment section with snake emojis.
On her 2018 tour, Swift reclaimed the snake comparison. The singer used snakes as imagery and even had fake snakes wrapped around her mic stand.
