ONLY two years ago Taylor Swift was celebrating July 4th with a huge bash that saw Tom Hiddleston appear in an 'I heart TS' tank top.
But now it seems the American pop star prefers a quieter affair, as she was spotted enjoying a romantic getaway with boyfriend Joe Alwyn at a luxury resort in Turks and Caicos.
Taylor, 28, wore a patriotic red, white and blue striped bikini as she and 27-year-old Joe hit the beach for a day of snorkelling in the sunshine.
The couple spent Independence Day wading through the crystal clear waters, and at one point even got out their flippers for spotting the tropical fish.
British actor Joe showed off his toned figure in a pair of blue and white striped swimming trunks that complimented his blonde bombshell girlfriend's look.
Cosying up in the water, they took time to float and swim side by side - the perfect relaxing break for Taylor, who is taking a break from her Reputation tour.
The Shake It Off singer hugged her handsome boyfriend from behind, and was seen planting delicate kisses on his shoulder.
They made sure not to leave on another's side at the luxury resort, which is not unusual for the couple, who have kept their relationship private since meeting in 2017.
It makes a change from Taylor's celebration of July 4th two years ago, where she celebrated with friends including Cara Delevnigne, Blake Lively, Ed Sheeran and Ryan Reynolds.
Tom Hiddleston and T-Swift made their relationship public on Instagram during the celebrations, where the pop princess had all her friends to stay at her glamorous home on Rhode Island.
The wild party included patriotic swimwear, fireworks, inflatables and English actor Tom Hiddleston wearing a cringe-worthy 'I heart TS' vest top.
And instead of shying away from the limelight, Swifty and her crew took over Instagram with pictures of their adventures, with social media quick to pick up on Tom's fashion faux pas.
It wasn't a one off event either, with the Blank Space singer throwing the 4th July bash every year. Perhaps now she prefers things a little more Delicate...
