Ah, yes—another Fourth of July. Another weekend of barbecuing, zealous American patriotism, and alcohol-fueled firework accidents. And another year of pop star Taylor Swift revealing her latest BFF lineup in an American flag-laden Instagram post.

Swift’s infamous 2015 Swan Squad photo containing ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris gave a more comprehensive look at Swift’s massive entourage. However, she deleted the photo (and many others) after her breakup with the Scottish DJ, tagged famous folks and all.

Regardless, Swift’s squad track record is riddled with lineup changes. Even this cozy 2014 snap posted to Twitter reveals some former familiar faces, notably actors Emma Stone and Lena Dunham.
