For the present time, oddly Gore is the one celebrating

I believe the answer is:

partygoer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one celebrating' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'for the present time oddly gore is the' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'time' could be 't' and 't' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'gore' is 'goer' which is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for partygoer that I've seen before include "One raving perhaps" , "One who celebrates" .)
