Country superstar Taylor Swift may have turned 22 back on December 13th, but a heavy touring schedule kept the blonde beauty from celebrating her big day surrounded by family and friends – What’s a girl to do?

Throw herself a belated birthday bash – that’s what!

Surrounded by pals from the bands Paramore, Hot Celle Rae and Parachute, Swift rang in her 22nd year in style at her home in Nashville, TN.

According to a source who attended the par-tay,

Taylor had a great time and was very happy… She was bouncing around from person to person and laughing about all the cat lady jokes!

Oh right, I forgot to mention those…  Apparently, Taylor’s friends have been giving her a hard time about how obsessed she is with her new feline companion “Meredith” and have taken to jokingly calling her a “cat lady”.  Hilarious.

Happy (belated) birthday Tay-Tay!
