Taylor Swift had a party for 89 of her super fans, during which she baked them cookies. While other pop stars are battling rumors that they want all their fans to die, Swift decided to invite fans over to her house to meet her cats and listen to her new album with her.

The 'Swifties' were invited via Swift's management to go to an exclusive event on September 20, according to one post on a Swift fan blog. The fans say they had no idea where they were headed, just that they should meet in a secret spot where they would be taken to a second location.

Even though this sounds like the plot of a terrible horror film, the fans really were put on a bus and taken to Taylor Swift's house. They apparently already knew what her house looked like, so you can imagine their excitement upon pulling up to it.

In the backyard, the blogger says that Swift had a huge spread set up containing pizza and sushi. Then, her fans were led into her living room, where she emerged and told them she had carefully selected who she wanted to invite to a listening party where she would play the entirety of her new album, 1989.

"Everyone in the room went insane and almost everyone was crying," the fan wrote. "Her team brought out boxes of tissues and everyone took some."

Mid-album, she brought out some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies she had baked for her fans. Taylor even let her fans pet her cats, Olivia and Meredith, and introduced them to her parents. The night concluded with a living room dance party and Polaroid photos with her, holding her various music awards.

Well done, Swift.
