Swifties and friends of Swifties, this one’s for you! If you’re planning a hen party and wanting to celebrate your bestie and her Lover by telling their Love Story, well, long story short, there are so many Gorgeous Taylor Swift hen party ideas for you.
The Music
This one is pretty obvious, because with a Taylor Swift hen party, you’ve got your playlist sorted! Decide ahead of time if you want to take a journey from one era to the next or if you want to pop all your favourite Taylor Swift hits on shuffle. There’s really no wrong answer!
Choose Your Era
Taylor Swift’s many eras means that you can either select an era to focus on, or you could ask guests to come dressed up in their era of choice!
If you are not a Swiftie yourself, then take a look at this breakdown of each era:
Taylor Swift – Country Chic: This is the era that started it all! Dress-up ideas include cowboy boots, sundresses and those signature blond curls.
Fearless – Sequins: Sparkly dresses, ball gowns and winged eye-liner would look perfect! Don’t forget the hand hearts and Taylor’s lucky number 13 drawn on your hand.
Speak Now – Ethereal Fairytale: Look out for magical and theatrical aspects like lighted trees and (a home-safe version of) pyrotechnics. Sparkly dresses are still in but the curls are looser now.
Red – Vintage: Enter the signature red lipstick and black fedoras! If you embrace the Red style, you’ll be opting for something edgier. High-waisted shorts, stripy shirts and vintage dresses.
1989 – Style: With Taylor’s first full-scale pop album, we saw the famous short bob and a change in fashion! Crop tops, skater skirts and form-fitting clothes.
Reputation – Edgy: The old Taylor is dead, so in your decor and attire, say goodbye to the good girl! Embrace the image of the snake and all the darker, edgier aspects like darker red lipstick, oversize sweatshirts and thigh-high boots.
Lover – Bright and Colourful: We’re going for cheerful with these pastel colours, butterflies and rainbows. Be inspired by the 70s aesthetic, sparkles, lots of fringe and pink hair!
Folklore – Woodsy: Perfect for an Autumn-themed hen party. Embrace the forest aesthetic for decor and don’t forget to don your own cardigan and boho floral vibes.
Evermore – Cottage Core: Some consider this to be part of the Folklore era, a continuation of Taylor’s indie folk vibe. Say hello to a cozy celebration, with all the makings of Autumn.
Midnights – Futuristic: Hosting the hen party at midnight might be a bit on the nose, but this album was inspired by 13 sleepless nights… so why not? Bonus: this is the album which inspired the friendship bracelets trend (more on this below).
The Tortured Poets Department – Dreamy: If you’re into fake face tattoos and something a little more villain-like, then this is the era for you! Embrace this dreamy side to this era with a soft white satin bow.
Make Friendship Bracelets
If you’ve been on the internet for even a second, you’ll recognise the friendship bracelets craze! But where the heck did this trend come from? Sure, some of us 90s kids were pros at making friendship bracelets growing up, but it was Taylor Swift who brought them back!
There’s a line in You’re On Your Own, Kid from her album Midnights, which says “So, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.”
And this is where the craze originated! After the album came out in October 2022, fans suggested they make friendship bracelets and swap them with each other at the Eras Tour. A genius idea which has led to many new friendships being made!
So grab your beads and make Taylor Swift friendship bracelets together with your girls!
