Taylor Swift skipped her usual “Taymerica” fireworks bash in Rhode Island this year and instead slipped off to the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana — for a bill that would make even her squad gasp. Membership here isn’t cheap, and that isn’t even the only requirement to be able to enjoy the grounds like Swift and Kelce did for their Fourth of July celebrations.

Back in 2018, just getting in required a $400,000 initiation fee plus $40,000 in annual dues — and you still have to own one of the resort’s multimillion‑dollar homes to qualify, per The Daily Mail. Add it up, and newcomers are easily dropping more than half a million dollars before they even set foot on a paddleboard or tee off on the private 18‑hole golf course.

Located in the heart of the northern Rocky Mountains, the secluded members‑only club spans 15,200 acres and ensures ultimate privacy — a feature that’s helped attract A‑listers like Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, Tom Brady, Ben Affleck, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, to name a few.

Once inside the Yellowstone Club’s 15,200‑acre playground, privacy comes with a price tag. Members enjoy everything from archery and water sports to fine‑dining at 16 on‑site restaurants, including Ming Tsai’s East‑West kitchen at BaBa. Swift and Kelce reportedly savored that discretion, trading flashing cameras for lobster tacos in total seclusion, per Page Six.

Her tradition of having a Fourth of July bash at her Rhode Island home has been put on pause for the past couple of years. Since buying her Watch Hill estate in 2013, Swift’s 11,000  square-foot colonial on five oceanfront acres has been the backdrop for her star‑studded Fourth of July parties, with guests like Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid and Selena Gomez in red, white and blue. Renovations earlier this year (a $1.7 million addition of a new bedroom, bathrooms and kitchen update) hinted at bigger plans for hosting the Chiefs tight end’s family someday. Yet this summer, she left her “Holiday House” dark in favor of Montana’s mountainside refuge.

And let’s be real, spoiling Swift is nothing new for Kelce. In May, he reportedly dropped $80,00 on a new summer designer wardrobe for Swift. And while that kind of outlay might sound over the top, it’s pocket change compared with the roughly $8 million he’s spent since they went public on private jets, a Kansas City mansion and endless luxe surprises — and that estimate is from March 2024, so it’s only gone up since then.

So if you were wondering where Swift disappeared to this Fourth of July, she wasn’t dodging tradition — just upgrading it. Fireworks, popsicles and coastal group pics gave way to private chefs, alpine air and a resort where even the golf course is gated.
