Taylor Swift Celebrates "Best Birthday" With Pals (Like Lorde!)—See the Pics! - E! Online

We don't know about you, but Taylor Swift ^[1] 's feelin' 22 24 (yeah, it doesn't have the same ring to it, but it's true!).

The famous pop singer celebrated her birthday today, and recently took to Instagram to share some beautiful photos from her special day. T.Swift wrote, "My 24th birthday was a Melbourne garden party. Thank you for all the birthday wishes!!"

Although many of the bright-eyed, smiley faces in the photos of today's party seemed unfamiliar, there was one recognizable star that attended the party—singer Lorde ^[2] !

LOOK: Happy birthday, Taylor! Here's why we love you... ^[3]

The "Royals" crooner posed alongside Taylor for a number of photos, further proving that these two are new besties.

Swift went on to snap some shots of the "pretty" flower decorations on the table, some "red balloons," and group photos with her nearest and dearest. "The best birthday I've ever had," she wrote.

Taylor and her new BFF Lorde started the birthday celebrations a little early this year ^[4] . The Red singer, who's currently Down Under while on tour, enjoyed an early birthday dinner ^[5] in Melbourne last night with the New Zealand songbird.

Swift, who was dressed in a red dress with matching red purse and lipstick, was spotted dining with Lorde and a group of friends. The duo was all smiles while laughing and chatting at local eatery Hibatchi Japanese Grill just hours before Swift's actual birthday (Dec. 13).

Glad you enjoyed your big day, Tay!
