Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift celebrated her 24th birthday Friday with a garden-themed party in Melbourne, Australia.

The ‘Red’ celeb has been on the Oceania leg of her tour for the past two week, with concert dates in Auckland, New Zealand, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. Her final gig of this leg is slated for Saturday, Dec. 14 at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne.

On December 4, Taylor performed to a capacity crowd of over 40,900 fans at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, becoming the first female artist in history to sell out the stadium since it opened in 1988.

Following a six week break, Swift will hit London and Berlin for six early-February 2014 tour dates.

Yesterday the ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ singer partied with a group numbering 30+ acquaintances — presumably members of her traveling entourage of dancers and tour staffers. She captioned the photo “The best birthday I’ve ever had.”

The Nashville entertainer gathered six of her close pals, including her new BFF Lorde, for an intimate garden photo op. She wrote, “My 24th birthday was a Melbourne garden party. Thank you for all the birthday wishes!!”

No party is complete without sparklers, as evidenced by this image captured by someone in the Swift camp:

She also took a moment to smell the roses:
