Famed singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has made headlines once again, this time for inspiring not one, but two Halloween displays. The creations, located in New York and Ohio, have taken the internet by storm with their shared theme of all things T-Swift.
The New York display, located in the typically hipster-ridden neighborhood of Williamsburg, features a life-size cardboard cutout of Swift dressed in a sparkly pink tutu, surrounded by various props such as glittery microphones and her infamous cat, Olivia. The creator of the display, a self-proclaimed ‘Swiftie’, spoke to reporters about their vision for the exhibit.
“I just wanted to capture the essence of Taylor’s fun and whimsical personality,” they said, while donning a “Reputation Tour” t-shirt. “I think I really nailed it with the tutu!”
Meanwhile, over in Ohio, a family has created their own take on the Taylor Swift Halloween display. The exhibit features various cutouts of Swift, interspersed with pumpkins, all while the signer’s hit songs blare from a nearby speaker. When asked why they chose Swift as their theme, the family had a rather practical explanation.
“She’s just so darn popular!” they exclaimed, while sipping on pumpkin spice lattes. “Our neighbors are going to love it!”
Of course, fans and critics alike have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the Taylor Swift-themed displays. While some have praised the creativity and ingenuity of both exhibits, others have been quick to point out the absurdity of dedicating an entire Halloween display to one person.
“This is just another example of how obsessed our society is with celebrity culture,” one Twitter user wrote. “I mean, who in their right mind would spend hours crafting a cardboard cutout of Taylor Swift for Halloween?”
Despite the mixed reactions, it’s clear that both the New York and Ohio displays have captured the attention of the masses. From fans of the singer to those just looking for a good Instagram post, it seems that everyone has something to say about these Halloween tributes.
One thing is for sure, though: Taylor Swift herself has yet to comment on the displays. Who knows, maybe she’ll be so impressed by the tribute that she’ll invite the creators to one of her infamous post-concert parties.
In the meantime, one thing is certain: if you chose to dress up as Taylor Swift for Halloween this year, you’re bound to be the talk of the town. From tutus to cat ears, it seems that T-Swift is the Halloween costume of choice for 2019. Just don’t forget to snap a picture and share it on social media, or else it didn’t really happen.
