Taylor Swift dominated Halloween (most popular costume, yard decorations) and Christmas (tour merch, cookie recipe, tree farm song). Now it appears Swift followers nationwide are ready to celebrate the new year in style. A Washington, D.C. restaurant invites fans to wear Eras Tour-inspired costumes to a Swift-themed New Year’s brunch with endless mimosas and bellinis. A San Francisco nightclub is hosting a “Taylor Swift NYE Extravaganza” with dance music all night to salute her career. Swift-inspired clothes are “highly encouraged.”
The Newport Beach sports bar has an open bar, “all you can drink” and Swift music all night. Swift has plans, but what? Will boyfriend Travis Kelce join her in Kansas City? In NYC with her celebrity entourage? The superstar has had a hit-or-miss New Year’s Eve, like most people. She survived TV’s most embarrassing New Year’s Eve dressed as a large brown bear by embracing the comedy.
Fans anticipate to see her at the Chiefs game on Sunday, New Year’s Eve, since she took her family—mother, father, and brother dressed as Santa—to that awful game on Christmas Day. For fun, she might don a costume? Swift, known for arranging fantastic parties, hosted a “epic” New Year’s celebration at her NYC home on December 31, 2018. The singer finally posted images of her celebrity-packed Fourth of July parties at her Rhode Island estate after two years.
Instagram’s coordinated #content showcased the parties. When the party was canceled in 2017 and 2018, we figured the hostess with the most had ceased entertaining, Vogue stated on Jan. 1, 2019. “But lucky for us, that all changed on New Year’s Eve, when Swift hosted a dress-up party to ring in 2019 and post new photos of her friends.” Swift dressed as a Little Mermaid with a red wig and a lobster purse for the event.
Mary Poppins, Audrey, Ariel, Ms. Frizzle, Cinderella, Gwen, Mr. Toad, Avril, Nancy Drew, Posh Spice, Rizzo, Frida Kahlo, Steve Irwin, Dorothy, she wrote on Instagram. We dressed up like our childhood idols for the new year. Sending you love and hoping for 2019.
Swift’s BFF Blake Lively came dressed as Dorothy from Kansas. Squad member Gigi Hadid dressed as Mary Poppins. Ryan Reynolds, Lively’s husband, wore a suit and tie as…himself?
In 2021, two years after the pandemic began, Swift donned a fuzzy brown bear costume with large, terrifying teeth to say goodbye to 2020. “Bye 2020, it’s been weird,” she said to her Instagram followers on Dec. 31, 2020. Nearly 4 million “liked” the whimsical goodbye.
New Year’s Eve can be bittersweet. We can guess which it was for Swift on New Year’s Eve 2008. Her performance was on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest.” The Jonas Brothers performed that night, and Swift and Joe Jonas had just broken up, making it famous. Something about his breaking up with her in a 27-second call. E! News labeled it “the most awkward New Year’s Eve TV moment of all time.”
That night, Swift sang “Forever & Always” from her “Fearless” album, inspired by the breakup. with 2017, Swift embraced the holiday’s hope with “New Year’s Day,” the final single on her sixth studio album, “Reputation.” This Glamour review called it “the most lyrically poignant song on the record.”
“The majority of Reputation features Swift lamenting about love, drinking, and settling scores over large, bombastic beats — but not ‘New Year’s Day,’” Christopher Rosa wrote. She talks about the aftermath of a wild New Year’s Eve — bottles on the floor, girls walking with their heels off — and how she’s lucky to have someone to help her the next day. “It’s not about partying and fun anymore; it’s about beginning the next chapter of her life with a clean slate.” Floor glitter remains after the celebration. Girls lowering their shoes in the lobby Polaroids and candle wax on wooden We met the night before Fans know “New Year’s Day” is another sadness song.
Swift says she was inspired by a memorable moment with her last long-term lover, British actor Joe Alwyn, before Kelce. “We had a big New Year’s Eve party in London this year, and I was thinking about how everyone speaks about who you kiss at midnight. The romantic idea is, ‘Who are you gonna kiss at midnight, like ring in the new year.’ “I think that is very romantic,” she told fans at an iHeartRadio “Reputation” release party. I guess who deals with you on New Year’s Day is much more romantic. Who will clean the house and give you Advil? I suppose that implies permanence. I wrote ‘New Year’s Day’ while thinking about that. It was the final “surprise song” of her Eras Tour U.S. leg this year. At that point, she and Kelce began surreptitiously hanging out.
