Taylor Swift is everywhere these days, so why not let The Tortured Poets Department singer inspire your menu? Whether you’re rewatching the Eras concert tour movie, hosting a birthday party or bachelorette party for your favorite Swiftie, or want to rebrand a Chiefs (or Super Bowl) watch party, you might as well lean into things with a full lineup of appetizers, drinks and desserts featuring Taylor Swift-themed food puns.
I started chronicling every Swift-related food I could think of after writing a story about hosting a Taylor Swift-inspired Super Bowl party for PureWow. And since I’m a sucker for a good theme party, I keep expanding this list with new dishes. (Taylor may churn out songs; I churn out…party snacks. Seriously. I got so into snack stadiums that I helped design six-foot-long ones, including one featured on Good Morning America. It’s a bit of a problem.)
From lol-worthy to borderline cringe, here’s every ridiculous Taylor Swift-themed app, side, dessert, main and drink idea my friends and I could come up with (featuring ideas for every era, including The Tortured Poets Department). If there’s one I missed, DM me, and I’ll add it!
