If there’s one artist who knows how to turn every moment into an event, it’s Taylor Swift—so why not channel that energy into an amazing Taylor Swift themed bachelorette party? Whether the bride-to-be is a lifelong Swiftie or just loves a good excuse to belt "Love Story" at the top of her lungs, a themed bachelorette starring Taylor is basically guaranteed to be iconic. The best part? There’s so, so much inspiration to pull from. Each era has its own vibe, from glitter and cowboy boots to moody cardigans and black sequins, so you can pick and choose which activities the bride will like best.
Now, a Taylor Swift-themed party doesn’t have to be about recreating last year’s concert. It can be about bringing all the best parts of her universe into one stellar weekend with your closest pals. From lyric-inspired decor and cocktails named after her songs to friendship bracelet swaps and karaoke, you've got plenty of room to be creative with it. However you spin it, you’ll end up with a fab Taylor Swift-inspired celebration that all the gals will appreciate. That being said, here are some Taylor Swift bachelorette party ideas to get the ball rolling so you can start planning, stat.
1. Call for an Eras dress code

Forget matching bachelorette T-shirts—this is way more fun. Have each of your bach party guests show up as a different Taylor era: someone in Fearless sequins and curls, another in Red’s iconic scarf, someone rocking Reputation snakes and leather and maybe even a Folklore cottagecore queen in a flowy dress. Not only does it give everyone the chance to get creative (and post some killer outfit photos), but it makes the whole night feel like you’ve created your own Eras Tour lineup.
2. Set up a friendship bracelet station

IYKYK (and if you're here, you probably do). Set up a table with some Taylor-worthy beads, charms and letter kits so everyone can make their own friendship bracelets. The fun part is customizing them, whether it’s with lyrics, inside jokes about the bride or just silly words you’ll laugh about later.
Once the bracelets are made, swap 'em with each other. It’s interactive, doubles as a party favor and by the end of the night, everyone has a wrist full of fun reminders of the Taylor Swift bachelorette party shenanigans.
3. Have a Taylor Swift karaoke night

This one’s all about singing your hearts out, and you don't have to be amazing vocalists to do so. Hire a karaoke DJ or hook up a machine at home, dim the lights and crank the tunes—because let's be real, there’s something oh-so magical about screaming "Love Story" with your besties.
If someone’s feeling brave, queue up "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" and let the group belt it into oblivion. It’s dramatic, hilarious and will pretty much guarantee a 10/10 time.
4. Create a cocktail menu by era

Bachelorette party drinks are way more fun when they’re themed. Put together a menu inspired by Taylor Swift songs and albums: a “Lavender Haze” martini with lavender-infused gin, a “Champagne Problems” spritz or a spicy “Bad Blood” marg with a chili rim.
You could even match drinks to eras—Red gets a strawberry daiquiri, 1989 gets a neon blue curacao drink, Folklore is a cozy mulled wine, etc. Print out a menu so everyone can pick their “era” when they order, or let the bride spin a wheel to decide what round everyone has to drink together. If you're not exactly a mixologist, you can always hire a bartender to give you a hand.
5. Organize a Taylor Swift trivia game

What's better than a little friendly competition to spice up the Taylor Swift themed bachelorette party? That's right—turn the night into a battle of Swiftie knowledge. Create categories like “Finish the Lyric,” “Name That Outfit,” “Guess the Ex,” or “Easter Egg Hunt.”
You can even throw in random fun facts about Taylor’s cats (shoutout to Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button), Grammy wins or upcoming wedding deets. Split the group into teams and hand out silly prizes like heart sunglasses, mini champagne bottles and temporary tattoos. Y'all are sure to have a blast with this one.
6. Create a photo memory wall

Channeling 1989 energy, set up instant cameras and let everyone snap pics throughout the night. Instead of leaving them in a pile, hang string with clothespins or create a poster board where guests can pin their photos as the evening goes on. By the end of the weekend, you’ll have a wall full of cute snaps the bride-to-be will cherish for the rest of her life. Psst: Don't forget to stock up on plenty of Instax film!
7. Throw a "Reputation" dance party

If there was ever an album made for a bachelorette dance floor, it’s Reputation. Turn down the lights, set up a disco ball and hand out neon glow sticks, as y'all blast the album front to back. Add in some edgy decor, black cups or even glow-in-the-dark face paint. It'll instantly feel like a club night, even if you’re just in someone’s living room.
8. Hang lyric-themed decorations

Skip generic “bride tribe” banners and go all-in on Taylor lyrics. If you have a Cricut or printer, you can do a ton yourself. Print out her most iconic lines and scatter them across banners, napkins or make some decals you can stick onto your bachelorette shirts and cocktail glasses. It'll keep everything on theme and will make for some seriously cute photo ops.
9. Hire live music (Taylor themed)

Book an acoustic guitarist or hire a Taylor Swift impersonator to join the Taylor Swift themed bachelorette festivities. It'll take things up a notch or two, especially if you plan on keeping the majority of the planning DIY. Plus, you can't have Taylor Swift bachelorette party ideas without a live performance your swiftie bride will love.
10. Set up a Taylor-inspired photo booth

Set up a backdrop with sparkly fabric, pastel streamers or DIY Eras Tour stage look. Stock up on props, like red scarves, glittery guitars, cat ears and heart-shaped sunglasses. The bach party gals can rotate in and out, posing for group shots or recreating iconic album covers. By the end of the night, you’ve got an entire roll of hilarious, Instagram-worthy pictures. If you don't want to do it all yourself, consider renting a photo booth instead!
11. Put together a red lipstick bar

Taylor’s signature red lip is iconic, so set up a lipstick station where everyone can pick their perfect shade before heading out. Include bold reds, softer tones and some glitter, too, obvi. Provide mirrors, makeup wipes and little name cards for each lipstick so everyone remembers their favorite. It’s a fun, interactive glam moment, plus it'll take the getting ready moment together to the next level.
