Taylor Swift will need to have a marvelous time ruining everything next year. 

After all, the "Fortnight" singer is all booked up this Fourth of July and won't be able throw her legendary Independence Day party at her Rhode Island mansion

As for why she won't be out of the woods for the glamorous affair? Taylor will be performing Eras Tour shows in Amsterdam on July 4, 5 and 6. 

The last time the Grammy winner threw the extravagant holiday party was one year ago, when there were a few notable differences in her life. The biggest one? She was single—a fact that became a theme of the festivities, which were attended by besties Selena Gomez and HAIM sisters Alana Haim, Danielle Haim and Esté Haim

"Happy belated Independence Day," Taylor wrote on her Instagram at the time, "from your local neighborhood independent girlies. See you tonight Kansas Cityyy."

Of course, the 34-year-old's relationship status wouldn't remain the same for much longer. The day after she shared the post, boyfriend Travis Kelce attended her concert with a friendship bracelet and a dream, kicking off the couple's epic love story.

Taylor first started throwing her memorable Fourth of July ragers in 2013, when she bought her historic Rhode Island home for $17.75 million.

In 2014, she and pals Lena Dunham, Ingrid Michaelson and Jessica Szohr rocked matching sun hats and set off fireworks. Two years later, then-boyfriend Tom Hiddleston made headlines by celebrating in an "I Heart T.S." shirt alongside Taylor's longtime friends Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

"The truth is, it was the Fourth of July and a public holiday and we were playing a game and I slipped and hurt my back," Tom said of the now-infamous shirt in a 2017 interview with GQ. "And I wanted to protect the graze from the sun and said, 'Does anyone have a t-shirt?' And one of her friends said, 'I've got this' And we all laughed about it."

He added, "It was a joke."

Disappointed there won't be a party this year? Read on to relive Taylor's best Fourth of July looks over the years...

Red, White and Awesome

The 4th of July is the perfect excuse to wear your bikini as an actual top just like Taylor Swift did back in 2013. PS: We love the added red with her sunnies!

Sunset Stripes

When the sun went down the "Delicate" singer threw on a red, white and blue striped longer-sleeved shirt to keep warm, but since it was summer she opted for her iconic high-waisted shorts to get a little bit more sun.

High-Waisted Honey

The 28-year-old singer loves a retro-style suit and we need to go out and buy one ASAP.

Chambray Cutie

Chambray goes with everything and is an easy go-to piece when you're in need of a quick change at any party.

Team USA

Do you know what's better than solid red, white and blue clothing options? Pairing a striped shirt with a solid bottom like T.Swift did here. It's a sophisticated take on the Americana theme.

All American

If you want to go all-in this holiday try sporting an American flag bikini...under an American flag onesie. Talk about being patriotic!

Cherry Bomb

Who says you have to wear stripes on the 4th of July? Red and white cherries or flowers are just as festive and super cute as you can see here.

Onesies for Everyone

After a long day in the sun we definitely vote for changing into a casual look to take in the fireworks. Onesies are the perfect solution because they are cozy and fun for any occasion.

Stripe Stunner

In 2016, Swift donned matching striped bathing suits with Cara Delevingne and Gigi Hadid and we're still obsessed with all of their suit choices.

Navy Nights

If you're not a big onesie fan you can go for Swift's other night look from her 2016 bash. She wore a navy, long-sleeved blouse and white shorts to keep in theme with America's traditional colors. It was super cute.

Bikini Babes

When in doubt this 4th of July just wear your most comfortable bathing suit. Trust us, no one wants to have an uncomfortable suit on when you want to be running around on the beach with your besties.

Beach Romp(ers)

This white and light blue romper that Swift wore a few years ago is at the top of our must-buy list. Rompers are so cute and functional and this one in particular is festive without being in your face.

America or Bust

In case you didn't already know, Swift loves America hence her "America" two-piece suit. This is one of the only times you can literally rock your American spirit, so why not go big?
