Taylor Swift was famous before the Eras Tour, but let’s be real – it launched her into super-super-stardom. And the outfits? Truly iconic. Move aside, Barbie. These Taylor Swift costume ideas take Halloween to the next level.
Whether you’re looking to wear the pink and blue Lover bodysuit, the fedora-ed “22” outfit, or the gold fringe mini dress to represent Fearless, these costume ideas practically spell out “Swiftie.” Which is a good thing, because autocorrect keeps thinking we mean “Swiffer.” When we said she swept the VMAs, that’s not quite what we meant.
So revel in these glorious Taylor Swift costume ideas from all ten eras, and solidify your status as her number two fan. After us, obviously. Hey, finders keepers.
15 Taylor Swift Costume Ideas
1. “ME!” Music Video Outfit
The 70s-style pink mini dress with a heart-shaped section of sequins on the front from the “ME!” music video isn’t the most obvious pick for a Taylor Swift costume, but fans will get the reference.
You can even rewear it for Valentine’s Day. Even if your valentine is just YOU! Taylor said so.

2. 1989 World Tour Circle Skirt Outfit
Probably the most recognizable Swift ‘fit from the 1989 World Tour back in 2015 is the circle skirt, crop top, metallic jacket combo.
Since 1989 is coming back in style with the Taylor’s Version re-record on October 27, this might be the perfect ‘fit for Halloweekend.

3. 2022 VMAs Bodysuit
Swift’s insane bedazzled silver dress that she wore to the VMAs in 2022 is recognizable among super fans, but you can be pretty confident no one else will be wearing this at the Halloween party. It’s also possible some people won’t know what you are, but no one can deny you look fabulous.
If they do, just shake if off. Okay, we’re done now.

4. “Picture to Burn” Taylor Swift Costume
In your debut era? This creative costume represents one of Swift’s first songs, “Picture to Burn” from her first album. Instead of using Polaroids of her exes, you could use your own if you’re feeling spicy.
Be warned that clothes are generally flammable. Just sayin’.

5. Champagne Problems
“Champagne Problems” is one of the tracks on Swift’s album evermore, and you can dress up as a bottle of champagne to get the point across.
We can’t think of many problems that aren’t solvable with copious amounts of champagne, though. Unless your problem is a massive hangover.

6. Midnights Bodysuit
The newest addition to the T. Swift lexicon (not including re-releases), Midnights, got several bejeweled navy blue bodysuits during the Eras Tour, plus various sparkly jackets to throw on top.
Any one of these combos would make for an epic costume, but we’re partial to the pink jacket. Why choose between dressing up as your favorite pop icon or your favorite doll? It’s Barbie. You’re on your own, Cabbage Patch Kid.

7. “22” Music Video Outfit
In the music video for “22” off the album Red, Swift rocked a white t-shirt emblazoned with the words “Not A Lot Going On At The Moment” in black text.
It was a lie, obviously. You don’t win three Album of the Year Grammys without having a busy schedule. But at least it’s relatable for us plebeians.

8. Lover Bodysuit
The bodysuit that graces the cover of the upcoming Eras Tour movie is an instantly recognizable Taylor Swift costume idea. If you haven’t seen it yet, please tell us what you do with all the time you don’t waste on TikTok.

9. Reputation One-Legged Bodysuit
Halloween has a reputation for being pretty unpredictable weather-wise, no matter where you live. This outfit (from the reputation era, no less) is the perfect solution. It’s like sticking one foot out of the covers in bed to regulate your body temperature.
Just choose the side of your body you care less about to be the one exposed to the elements. You know, just in case.

10. Taylor Swift’s 2021 Oscar de la Renta Grammys Outfit
Of all of Swift’s red carpet appearances, it’s safe to say this is one that made a big splash. Perhaps even the biggest splash. We do hope she at least watered the flowers.
Lots of Etsy shops and small businesses have designed their own spin on the look, so it’s easy enough to recreate yourself.
Get this look:
11. Speak Now Purple Dress and Ponytail
One of the most memorable outfits from Taylor’s Speak Now World Tour way back in 2011 and 2012 was this high pony, soft purple dress moment.
And when in doubt, write some song lyrics on your arm to really sell it. Probably not one of the ones with curse words if you’re planning on trick-or-treating.

12. “Bejeweled” Music Video Outfit
Best believe you’re not only still bejeweled, but also positively covered in hot glue after hand-placing all these rhinestones on this Halloween ‘fit inspired by the “Bejeweled” music video.
By the way, we’re staying in tonight. There’s a new season of Great British Baking Show, let us live.
Get this look:
13. Wonderstruck Perfume Bottle
Only true Swifties will recognize this clever nod to Swift’s brief stint as a perfumier. We can practically smell the fruity and sweet burst of nostalgia from here.
It might be because we have a twelve-year-old bottle of it on our makeup vanity. Does perfume expire?
Get this look:
14. Fearless Gold Fringe Outfit
You have to be fearless to wear this shimmering gold bodysuit in 40-degree weather. Or at least you have to be a risk taker. Did we just name TS11?
Get this look:
15. Folklore’s “Cardigan” Music Video Outfit
Sometimes, Taylor Swift’s own merch is enough of a costume, especially when she wore it herself in her “Cardigan” music video. This is the perfect Halloween costume because it’s super cozy.
Anything that doubles as something we’d wear on the couch for a movie night and something that could pass at a party is a win. Don’t forget to bring candy, and you won’t even be able to tell the difference.

When she's not typing away on her laptop, you can find Laura working on her MBA at Boston College, listening to Taylor Swift, or sweating it out at an OrangeTheory class. Follow her on Instagram @LauraKristine21 and LinkedIn.
