(CNN) Fireworks, family and food: When it comes to holidays, stars really are just like us -- but with more money.

Thanks to the wonders of social media and the paparazzi, we all got to virtually share in some stars' celebration of America's birthday.

True to Taylor Swift style, the singer partied with her squad, who donned red, white and blue outfits for the occasion and posed for a snap in front of some fireworks. It doesn't get much more American than that.

Happy 4th from us ❤️

Actress Kate Hudson went sexy, posing on a bike in a patriotic swimsuit with the caption "From my airbrushed a** to yours... Happy fourth!"

Likewise, comedic actress Amy Schumer posed in a bikini while saluting in between two American flags. Her very humble caption reads, "An American treasure."
