The incident happened while crews were setting up a fireworks display.
Emergency services rushed to New Seabury Country Club in Mashpee, Massachusetts.
The golf club in Cape Cod is a short distance from where Taylor Swift once lived.
First responders attended the scene shortly after 4.30 pm local time on Wednesday.
The person airlifted was taken to Rhode Island Hospital with another who was injured was treated at Falmouth Hospital.
Two more were treated at the scene.
The firework event was one of many across the nation set up to celebrate 4th of July.
Eyewitnesses described the incident as “scary.”
Brian Jadul took footage of the moment the fireworks exploded.
He said, “It seemed like the entire battery of fireworks went off almost at once.
“So, massive explosion. Firework workers started sprinting from the scene and I’m not sure how badly they got injured.”
The golf club’s general manager Jim Clay released a statement on the incident.
It read, “Due to this incident we unfortunately have to cancel the Fireworks portion of tonight’s Event while the situation is handled.
“The BBQ and Kid’s Activities are still on.
“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and are focused on the injured person and the safety of everyone involved.”
Fireworks company Pyrotecnico said, “Our crew was assembling the annual fireworks display when a fireworks shell ignited.
“This ignited the cases that were on the ground.
“The State Fire Marshal’s office, who had just inspected the crew, are currently investigating the incident.”
Swift brought her house in nearby Hyannis Port, Massachusetts in 2012 for $5 million.
She was briefly in a relationship with Conor Kennedy at the time.
The musician sold it the following summer, and it’s currently on the market again for $14.5 million.
