Taylor Swift Fans, Enter Your Own Era With These Genius DIY Costume Ideas (2024)

When Taylor Swift first embarked on her Eras tour, the songstress revived her most iconic looks onstage, with Swifties everywhere following suit. That included the sparkly dresses reminiscent of Fearless to the edgy black jumpsuits with snake accessories belonging to Reputation.

The tour reminded everyone that there's no shortage of looks to emulate. So, while there are plenty of great costumes for women to try this year, if you're a Swiftie, it's prime time to channel your inner Taylor with a homemade Halloween costume paying homage to the singer. Replicate anything from her tour looks, like the Versace bodysuit, to album aesthetics, such as cottagecore Folklore and Evermore.

First things first, think about which of Taylor's eras speaks to you most. Then, look to one of these best Taylor Swift Halloween costume ideas that you can easily DIY. If you really want to go all out, grab some friends for a group costume that shows off more than one moment from Taylor's iconic career, or try a Taylor and Travis Kelce-inspired couples' costume.

Couple up and cosplay as Taylor and her beau, Travis Kelce, who have been making headlines ever since their first IRL sighting together. Copy Taylor's biker-inspired Coachella outfit, including her viral pleated skirt.

Complete the pairing by decking your companion out with Travis's much more casual look that includes Converse sneakers, striped pants and an iconic Happy Gilmore hat.

On this night, Taylor broke the record for the most Album of the Year wins. She accepted her award wearing a watch choker that nodded to the winning album, Midnights, while her black-and-white ensemble alluded to her latest release, The Tortured Poets Department, which she surprisingly announced onstage.

We don't know about you, but the "22" music video outfit is one of Taylor's penultimate looks, and it takes just a handful of items to emulate. This shirt on Amazon has you covered, or get a plain white tee and add stick-on letters yourself. A black fedora and a pair of heart-shaped glasses top it off to make it instantly recognizable.

Put some pep into your costume by tapping the cheerleading sequence of Taylor's "Shake It Off" music video. It only takes a few simple pieces, including this uniform set that already has "TS" initials printed on it. A pair of white sneakers finish off the look.

If you mean all business for Halloween, tug on a power suit and channel Taylor's performance 'fit for "The Man." All it takes is a glitter-y blazer dress and sparkly boots to match. Opt for a silver or a black ensemble, as the singer switches between either on tour.

Midnights marks Taylor's tenth studio album and manifested themes of ethereal purples, including this fluffy statement coat from Free People. While the original shaggy coat is sold out, shop a similar version on Amazon. Make the whole place shimmer by adorning a pink and purple sequined dress underneath.

Taylor's self-titled debut album is one of the two remaining from her discography she has yet to re-record. And once she does, there will no doubt be a resurgence of cowboy-themed looks. Step into these embroidered boots that nod to the singer's early cover art, and pair it with this frilly dress, a signature outfit combo from her "Teardrops on My Guitar" days.

Swifties think this AMA red carpet dress is "Mirrorball" coded. To achieve the futuristic vibe, style a metallic rhinestoned dress with equally shiny accessories.

Close out Halloween festivities with the look Taylor wore during the finale of the Eras tour. Tap midnight blue hues and incorporate tons of beaded details like a matching rhinestone garter. Pull the bejeweled look together with a pink tinsel coat.

Fearless Taylor Swift Halloween Costume

We don't know how it gets better than this ... Nothing screams classic Taylor more than her Fearless era. Curl your hair to match her signature spirals and paint a lucky "13" onto your hand, then grab this Amazon dress that matches the energy to a T. A pair of cowboy boots pulls it together easily.

Ahead of Speak Now (Taylor's Version), there's no better time to honor the tour's most iconic look. Nearly identical to the wedding-crashing ensemble, this halter dress in royal purple is uncanny. A red lip, a ponytail and a guitar tie it all together.

If you want to create your own costume, go the route of the songstress's canon looks. Write out "Junior Jewels" in fabric markers as a callback to the music video's camp tee, and tote a notebook for extra measure.

Consider this your Evermore starter pack: Think braids, flannels and peacoats galore. As the "sister album" to Folklore, a distinct woodsy element fits the brand. The “Willow” music video's witchy capes and storybook aesthetic conjure up more inspiration, too.

Falling into the Lover dreamscape, the era married hues of pastel pinks and blues. Though Taylor never got to tour the 2019 album, a myriad of bold music video looks made up for it. She wears a faux fur fuchsia coat with vintage accessories in the “You Need to Calm Down” music video.

Give Folklore with images of beige and brown, stripes and plaid, smock-style dresses and of course, cardigans. It's especially fitting for Halloween with its autumn-inspired cottage-core theme. The original cardigan is no longer available on her merch site, but this Amazon version comes pretty close.

The Red re-recordings swiftly detour into nostalgia fueled by a never-before-heard 10-minute version of "All Too Well." A trench coat and tweed hat tap the autumnal spirit captured in the album cover. It wouldn't be complete without a certain red accessory ...

Slither into the Reputation era with a costume that channels Taylor's edgiest ensembles. All-black clothing is the common thread with undertones of snake motifs. You can replicate the aesthetic with minimal effort thanks to an oversized black hoodie and reptilian accessories.

Honored as "Artist of the Decade" at the 2019 AMAs, Taylor made a powerful statement that hinted at her plan to re-record her song catalog. Easily pay homage to the moment by wearing a simple button-down and stamping the titles of her first six albums with lettered stencils and fabric paint.

It's the era of hits like "Style" and "Shake It Off" when Taylor hit her full-fledged pop stride with several guest performers in tow. During her 1989 tour, she wore a series of multi-colored sequin jackets over a sparkly black bustier, plus metallic skater skirts indicative of the times.
