Reese Witherspoon isn’t turning 40 until Tuesday, but on Saturday, she held an early birthday celebration with all her closest celebrity friends. From the pictures and videos we’ve seen, it seems Witherspoon really knows how to throw a party! 

According to People, the star-studded guest list included Jennifer Aniston and her husband, Justin Theroux, Courteney Cox, Matthew McConaughey, Robert Downey Jr., Jason Bateman, and Keith Urban and his wife, Nicole Kidman. Kate Hudson also attended the party and judging from her Instagram collage, the shindig was a hit.


Taylor Swift was not only a guest, but she also took to the stage to sing her hit song “Shake It Off.”


Later in the night, Witherspoon got on stage herself and performed a cover of “Sweet Home Alabama” with the help of Urban. Her friend, Derek Blasberg, shared the sweet moment on Instagram.


Looks like it was an incredible night. Happy birthday, Reese! And next year, maybe invite us, okay?
