The only guide you’ll need on hosting the most epic Taylor Swift themed party by the party planning experts.
Alright, fellow Swifties, gather 'round because you're about to dive into the ultimate Taylor Swift-themed party extravaganza. With an illustrious career spanning over a decade, Taylor Swift has become a cultural phenomenon, it’s no wonder so many people want to host parties themed after the blonde icon herself. Whether it be music release parties, birthday parties, or anything in-between.
In the era of Taylor's re-recordings, where each chord strikes a chord of nostalgia, hosting a party has never been more fitting. Especially with the Tortured Poets just around the corner and Reputation to follow
#1 Taylor Swift Party Invitations
No party is complete without a ticket! By now we’ve all experienced the pain, or triumph of trying to get an Era’s tour ticket (we’re looking at you Ticketmaster)!
Creating invitations that set the tone is crucial. Incorporate Taylor Swift lyrics or album cover designs. Really get creative because these invitations make fantastic keepsakes. For the true Swiftie touch, add a personal note encouraging guests to dress in their best Taylor-inspired attire. This not only builds excitement but ensures everyone arrives ready to rock the Swift look.
Luckily it’s easy for your friends to secure a ticket to your party with these ticket invites from Smartblend.
Once downloaded just add the date, time and location of your Era’s party to the file and then you can either email/message or print these out for your friends.
Going for the physical option?
You’ll need some good card make sure your printer can use card first though.
Not only are these tickets a lovely addition to your home party, but they make the perfect keepsake for your guests. You could even go the extra mile and laminate them so they’ll last forever.
And if you are lucky enough to be going to the Eras tour, and your purchasing tickets for someone's birthday or Christmas. These tickets make the perfect addition to announce that they're going to see Taylor live.
Instead of just saying "I got you Taylor Swift Tickets" make a spectacle of it, print these of and put in the ACTUAL location, seats, section, and row and wrap it up for them.
Which reminds me, if it’s gifts you’re needing, then check out this list of the best Taylor Swift gifts chosen by fans.
#2 Taylor Swift Friendship Bracelet Making Station
What’s an Era’s tour without friendship bracelets? Why not get crafty before the party and make a bracelet for everyone on your guestlist, even better, why not get all your friends round for a bracelet making pre-party?
Along with the tickets, these also make the perfect party keepsake for any Taylor Swift lover. (or as I’m now calling them - Swiftie Souvenirs) It also doubles up as a great party activity to keep everyone entertained. And this goes for both adults and children. For children have them gather round a table listening to Taylor Swift keeping quiet making bracelets whilst the adults enjoy a moment of peace. And for grown-up parties, pop open some wine and have a wine and craft party.
Everything you need to get started
#3 What to Wear for a Taylor Swift Party
When it comes to what to wear for a Taylor Swift party, the best idea is to pick an era and dress as that era. That could be in the style of the era or a direct costume recreation.
Which here on Weeno, we have guides for every single one of those eras.
It’s a serious amount of fashion inspiration. Check them all out here;
Each one of those sections will give you recreations of iconic looks, as well the style of the era and how to recreate certain looks. All in a cost effective way. None of this “Taylor Swift wears a custom Versace body suits so here’s how you can contact Versace to ask to custom make YOU something similar” or “this plain white T-shirt Tay Tay wears will set you back $5,000. So buy it, but it now”.
No no no, each one is based of cheaper and easy to pick up replicas which are inspired by Taylors looks.
Case in point, the above is just one example of the overall style of a Taylor Swift era, the latest Tortured Poets Department era.
Whereas this one is a recreation of the actually outfits, just in a cheaper way. Case in point, the Midnights album photoshoot outfits.
Do check your favorite era out because each one is a mega thread of an article for you.
#4 Taylor Swift Party Games and Activities
No Taylor Swift party (or any party for that matter) is complete without games and activities. As the party planning professionals, let me tell you, this is where most people are let down by any party.
All this effort goes in to decorations, food and drink and the “what are we actually going to do” element gets forgotten. Which just ends up with a lot of people stood around bored.
So let the Swiftie games begin!

#5 Taylor Swift Party Music
When it comes to the music, you’re options really are Taylor Swift Spotify or Taylor Swift YouTube. I really like the idea of doing the Eras tour setlist in order which any Taylor Swift fan will pick up on immediately.
The setlist is no secret, each night at the eras tour is around 3 hours 15 mins long with a whopping 44 songs split into 10 eras.
Where to find the songs
Where can I find the Taylor Swift Era’s setlist? I’m glad asked, personally, I like this on Spotify. I won’t lie, I listen to it A LOT; when I’m working, when I’m cleaning, when I’m showering (some of best performances), heck I may as well just say, when I’m awake.
YouTube
I’ve also managed to find the Taylor Swift Eras tour setlist on YouTube, so you can just click play on the below and you’re good to go.
#6 Karaoke
How about performing these yourself with your very own Karaoke Era?
I get it, for some people karaoke may not sound like your cup of tea but, come on kids, singing is FUN!
I mean it though, not too long ago I went to a Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) release night party here in Manchester (yes, it was as amazing as it sounds), they had 3 rooms and the karaoke room had the best vibes by far – what could be better than an entire room of people who all love the same artist signing or, in my case screeching, along with each other?
Sure, not all of us can sing well, me included, but when you’re surrounded by your friends at an at home Era’s tour party, who cares? I know I don’t!
Here’s a fab karaoke machine if you don’t already have one
The reason I love this karaoke machine is that it’s the perfect in-between. It’s not so cheap and low budget that you’ll question why the hell you wasted your money in the first place.
But it’s not so high end that you feel like you need to become a professional singer just to make it worth the value.
It’s right in the middle. A powerful piece of kit but still very much something that you’ll only whip out a couple of times a year.
You can of course YouTube your favourite Taylor song and add Karaoke to the end and sing so loud you wont need a karaoke machine.
#7 Taylor Swift Dance Class
There’s no rules here, you groove the way you want to groove! However, A good idea here is to recreate some of Taylor Swifts iconic dances.
Got a spare chair? Why not give it your best Vigilante Shit moves!
Got it in you to recreate the Delicate dance? Go for it!
Why not make up your own dance routine?
#8 Taylor Swift Food and Drink
Food
Food wise, I would get all your favourite savoury snacks, I’ll be getting crisps, pretzels, cheese and onion rolls (yep, I’m a classic vegetarian).
Just check out some of the recipes on Smartblend if you’re in need of inspiration.
For those sweet treats, I’ll be putting my oven, and baking skills, to the test by whipping up some cupcakes. I’m going to keep the buttercream/frosting simple and then I’m planning on going WILD with edible glitter, I’ll be using the Monégasque one which you can find on Amazon USA here or Amazon UK here.
As for decorating your Taylor Swift food and drink, go for the affordable print at home cake and cocktail toppers from this Taylor Swift party decoration bundle.
Drink
If you’re hosting an adult Taylor Swift party, then it’s cocktail you want. Smartblend has a bunch of Taylor Swift cocktails for you to recreate.
My favorites being;
As for kid parties or non-alcoholics, go for the Speak Now lemonade.
#9 Taylor Swift Party Decorations
Elevate your venue with Swiftie-approved decorations. Pastel colors, glitter, and posters featuring Taylor's greatest hits should take center stage. Consider creating table centerpieces adorned with album covers and song lyrics. The goal? Immerse your guests in a Taylor Swift wonderland from the moment they step through the door.
As mentioned, the Taylor Swift Era bundle from Smartblend has printable decorations for anyone on a budget.
Other than that, here are my favorite picks for Taylor Swift party decorations;
Purple Balloons
Birthday Banner
Party Backdrop
Party Props
#10 Capture the Moment
Finally, my top tip for making your Taylor Swift themed party a memorable one is just to take photos. That way you CAN’T forget it. Polaroids are my favorite. Between the Polaroid, the personalised invitation, the party games and friendship bracelets, you have quite the Taylor Swift party goody bag.
If you don’t have a Polaroid camera and don’t want to spend that much money, I recommend an Instax which you can pick up here on amazon USA or here on amazon UK. Just don’t forget to pick up extra film.
Final Note
If this is for a birthday, make sure you get the right gift. There is a lot of Taylor Swift junk online, stick with one of these 33 options chosen by Swifties and you’ll be fine.
