Other photos include a shot of homemade apple pie in honor of the national holiday and another showing Swift, 24, enjoying a giant slip-n'-slide.
One guest who was noticeably absent is Swift's best friend Selena Gomez, who has reportedly kept her distance since reconnecting with Justin Bieber.
In April Gomez, 21, and Bieber, 20, split after a reported fight at Coachella, however, within weeks they reconciled and insiders claim Swift does not approve.
"Taylor and Selena are still friends even though she went back to Justin but Taylor has set some boundaries which include no talking about Justin," a source previously told HollywoodLife.com. "Taylor really cares about Sel but she doesn't want to be an enabler when it comes to Justin."
Earlier this year the "Come & Get It" singer had a stint in rehab for stress and at the time fans speculated whether the ongoing drama with Bieber was to blame.
In the past Gomez, who has dated Bieber on and off since 2011, has often turned to Swift for emotional support during her relationship woes. A source claims that this time around Swift wants no part in the drama.
"Taylor has spent countless hours giving her support and advice but that's it. She will always be there for Sel but isn't giving any more advice on the matter," the source said. "If Selena has any issues, Taylor suggested that she speak with a therapist because she doesn't want to get in the middle of it."
Gomez shared her own fourth of July celebration photo on Instagram. In the shot the former Disney star is seen pictured alongside friends.
