How to Set Up a Taylor Swift Trunk-or-Treat
Taylor Swift Trunk-or-Treat Skeletons
The first thing I did was set the Swiftie scene outside of the car with two life-sized skeletons that I decorated to represent different versions of Taylor Swift. On the first, I used a blonde wig, a microphone, some red heart glasses, and red fringe to create a glamorous concert-Taylor look. By her feet, I added a little nod to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce – a Kansas City Chiefs balloon.
On the other side of the car, I added a waving Taylor skeleton, also wearing a blonde wig. This one was dressed in the iconic “Not a lot going on at the moment” t-shirt and black hat outfit from the “22” music video, along with pink heart sunglasses. I added some pink cowgirl boot balloons next to this skeleton as a nod to Taylor’s country roots.
Friendship Bracelet and Record Garlands
Next, I decorated the exterior of the car trunk with some garlands. First, I used balloons tied together in a row to create the book of friendship bracelet beads. I added black letters to the white balloon “beads” to spell out “Spooky Era”.
Then, across the top of the trunk, I strung up a garland of faux records (I replaced the labels they came with with Taylor Swift’s album labels!). This is also where I hung some fun butterfly lights.
Eras Pumpkin Display
At the back of the trunk, I hung a colorful fringe garland to create a wall between the trunk and the rest of the car, and to serve as a backdrop for the Taylor Swift trunk-or-treat setup. Then, I added a black sequin cloth to the floor of the trunk and set up a row of painted pumpkins on dessert stands at the back of the trunk. I decorated one pumpkin for each of Taylor’s Eras albums.
Taylor Swift Treats and Trinkets
In front of the row of Eras pumpkins, I set out all of the treats and trinkets to pass out to trick-or-treaters! I set them up in a variety of containers for interest, dimension, and organization, and tried to tie all of them to the Taylor Swift theme. In one dish, I included red lip whistles and friendship bracelets.
In a boot shaped container, I added a bunch of “Taylor picked Travis” guitar picks!
I also included a bunch of cute and colorful inflatable guitars!
Finally, I made sure to have plenty of candy. In this case, I used some glamorous ring pops, and some Pop Rocks to go with the pop star theme!
This Taylor Swift Trunk-or-Treat setup is the perfect way to combine Halloween fun with your Swiftie fandom for a celebration that’s full of style, charm, and just a little bit of spookiness!

PIN FOR LATER:
Could you perhaps let us know what size your pumpkins are, and the paint colors that you used for them? Thank you!
Hi Leslie they are 5″ pumpkins, there is a link to my LTK storefront at the top of my post where you can find the exact pumpkin.
The colors I used were – I used Craft Smart brand paints from Michaels. – grape jelly for speak now, dessert sky for TS1989, apple tart for Talyor swift, pewter grey for folklore, pink chiffon for lover, and for midnights I used a to blue base with a brilliant purple sponged over the top. Red was a cherry red and I’m sorry I can’t remember the name of the brown, chocolate or something similar I believe. thanks! Nat
