In case you haven’t already figured it out, Taylor Swift is a lot cooler than you. In fact, this year she seems to have instituted her own new holiday: Instapendence Day.

Yes, each 4th of July all Americans come together in celebrating their right to document every moment of their existence on social media. Despite her penchant for British compatriots, Taylor’s no exception — her holiday just looks a lot better than ours. (Seriously, does she live in a magazine spread?)

We hope you had as happy and fashionable a Fourth of July as Taylor did! Here’s to all the past and future Instapendence Days.
