If Taylor Swift’s Instagram has taught us anything, it’s that the girl knows how to host a party. She’s stolen the show on the Fourth of July in past years thanks to her red-white-and-blue blowouts and hosted what looks like a bomb AMAs afterparty back in October—but now, it seems, she’s upped her party game to throwing truly great New Year’s Eve celebrations, too.

She and her squad offered fans a glimpse via Instagram at the creative way she rang in the New Year: Swift had friends like Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid come over dressed as their childhood superheroes. Lively went for her best Dorothy Gale gingham; Hadid gave us Mary Poppins realness; and Swift showed off an under-the-sea Little Mermaid getup, complete with a bright red wig and a shiny green tail. The party also featured Ms. Frizzle (remember the Magic School Bus series?), Frida Kahlo, Audrey Hepburn, and Cinderella.

“Mary Poppins, Audrey, Ariel, Ms. Frizzle, Cinderella, Gwen, Mr. Toad, Avril, Nancy Drew, Posh Spice, Rizzo, Frida Kahlo, Steve Irwin, Dorothy.. This new year we decided to dress up as our childhood heroes. Sending you all love and hope going into 2019,” Taylor wrote on Instagram. She posted several shots from the bash, including one of the guests in their getups and one of her sharing a drink with Ryan Reynolds.

Stylist Mimi Cuttrell also posted a picture of Hadid in her excellent Mary Poppins costume.

Swift closed out 2018 by dropping a concert special from her Reputation tour on Netflix. She released a trailer for the film earlier this month, writing on social media, “You made this tour so insanely fun for all of us on stage, and I’m really excited that we will have this memento of the memories we all made together this year.”

And it seems like a casual screening of the doc was in the party plans last night, too: Gigi Hadid posted an Instagram Story showing a brief, slightly blurry moment from the Netflix special.

All of this came after Taylor had a headline-making 2018: She spoke up politically and got active in Tennessee for the first time since critics began urging her not to stay silent in the wake of Donald Trump’s election. But she seemed to be kissing a long year goodbye with this party—and has hinted that she has plenty in store, including new music, in 2019.
