MICHAEL Rubin is shaking things up by moving his iconic Hamptons July 4th party to July 1 this year, avoiding a clash with Taylor Swift’s rumored Independence Day weekend wedding.

The Fanatics boss, known for hosting a star-studded bash featuring the likes of Drake, Beyoncé, and Kim Kardashian, clearly doesn’t want to compete with what’s set to be the event of the summer.

Swift’s nuptials to Travis Kelce are expected to draw a glittering guest list of their own, likely overlapping with Rubin’s usual A-listers.

Rubin’s July 4th parties have become legendary, covered by Vogue and the New York Times, making the date change a notable move in the social calendar.

Taylor Swift herself is no stranger to July 4 celebrations, having hosted her own starry bashes at her Rhode Island home with guests like Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid.

While details of Swift’s wedding remain under wraps, it’s confirmed to be in New York, adding to the buzz around the holiday weekend.

It’s unclear if Rubin’s switch is a courteous nod to the bride or a strategic decision to keep his party’s spotlight intact.

Representatives for Rubin have yet to comment on the change.

With the social season heating up, all eyes will be on both Rubin’s rescheduled bash and Swift’s star-studded wedding to see who steals the show.
