Fearless Era Taylor Swift Costume

If you’re ready to feel “Fifteen” again, return to the Fearless era with this gold fringe number that will be as fun to wear as it is to see. Remind your secret crush that they belong with you or just have “The Best Day” all on your own. This costume is easy to put together and only requires a fringe dress and some cowboy boots.

22 Taylor Swift Costume

During the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift rocked an impressive array of outfits, but this callback to her “22” music video is highly recognizable and a cinch to pull together. Rock the Red era with this casual tee, shiny shorts, and iconic black hat. Be sure to notice the shirt detail, which has changed “Not a lot” to say “A lot.”

For the REAL Power Couple: Donna Kelce and Taylor Swift Costume

Okay, sure, if you want an easy couples costume, going as Taylor and her new beau Travis Kelce is an easy choice. Whether you love them for the Swifties, for the Chiefs, or for the memes, they’ve been the talk of the town for a bit now (and as a writer living in Kansas City, the only topic of conversation out here).

That being said, hear me out. For those without a boyfriend to be cutesy with (or who just want the more unexpected play) go for the ultimate friend costume by dressing up as Donna Kelce—mother of Travis Kelce—and Taylor Swift instead. Their time hanging out in the Kansas City Chiefs stadium was heavily documented from every angle, and there’s nothing much cuter than seeing a girlfriend hanging out with her boyfriend’s mom on a Sunday, is there?

If you’re a fan of Swift’s more recent works such as her Folklore album, this floor-length gown will have you feeling like you wandered out of a fairy tale.

Pair it with your favorite fall boots and complete the look with some pearl accessories similar to Swift’s “Cardigan” music video outfit.

Lover Era Taylor Swift Costume

For those who are post-breakup and need a reminder that “Soon You’ll Get Better”, something from Swift’s Lover era might be just the right call. This iridescent leotard look will have you ready to belt out Taylor’s most iconic songs. Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll even get to wander by your ex with the full “I Forgot That You Existed” attitude.

peak Now Taylor Swift Costume
