Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

"Party" in this context is meant as a verb, meaning to have fun or enjoy oneself at a social gathering. Thus, the speaker says "are you ready to party" to ask if Grizz is ready to have fun. "Are you ready for the party" would have a different meaning, as it is intended to ask whether one is prepared for a social gathering. Ex: Are you ready to party? Let's have fun tonight! Ex: Are you ready for the party? We need to arrive by 7 PM.
