The musician could be counted on to invite her friends for a yearly celebration of the red, white, and blue: featuring classic symbols of the American holiday like white wicker chairs, fireworks, matching stars-and-stripes pajamas, and, of course, those covetable pool floats she always had out, often taking the shape of pegasi, swans, and flamingos. Funboy, dubbed “Swift’s favorite float company,” soon became the backdrop to Hollywood’s summertime fun — appearing in the perfectly styled shots of everyone from Katy Perry and Shay M...
