With the actual birthday a few weeks away, the holiday plans and move presented a conundrum, so Manno chose to celebrate early, all-out, to make the occasion truly unforgettable. The other purpose behind the party was to bid adieu to Molly’s Nashville friends. A dreamy setup with Taylor Swift decor, comfy tents, and, speculatatively, surely the happiest party of pre-teens on the planet made its appearance on Instagram.

Manno sent out an enormous thank you to @firefly_nashville for creating the “pure MAGIC” Taylor Swift set-up that made Molly’s birthday come true. The planners reciprocated the joy in the comment, “Oh my gosh they’re all adorable! So thrilled to be a part of the JOY!”

Adult-wish lists were formed in the comments. Some wished to have the same party for themselves. One pleads, “Okay, but I also want this for my 37th birthday this year.” Another added, “I’m turning 43, can I have this birthday party please?” Even the planners from Firefly Nashville joined on the fun with heart-eyed emojis.

Fans expressed sadness over Molly leaving her clique of friends due to moving. An interesting comment appeared: “Is she OK leaving this cute little group of friends,” spawning a mini-debate in the replies around growing up in childhood. Another one assured: “She’ll be fine. I moved many times when I was growing up. Made me resilient and also taught me how to grow where I was planted.”

The longtime watchers got nostalgic: “I remember when you posting sweet Molly belting Havana when she was just a toddler. She’s going so fast.” Some praised Manno for her parenting: “You are an amazing mom!!! What a memorable night!!” and “It’s just so beautiful you’re such talented and amazing mom!”

The party just sat filled with feelings shared from young mamas to empty nesters, instantly striking a chord with parents and Swifties alike. Even the cynic aka “Save something for when she turns 10 lol” couldn’t help but acknowledge the moment’s magic.

According to Manno’s comments, the party went uncharacteristically late, which included a pool session at an ungodly hour. This was not just another celebrity kid birthday party. It was an everlasting memory that would stay alive in everyone present. Judging by the gush of reactions flooding in, Molly shall not be the only one reminiscing fondly for many years.
