Taylor Swift-Themed Parties Are Taking Over Super Bowl 2024
For many Americans, the humorous, heartfelt commercials and Usher's highly anticipated halftime show won't be the sole focus of Super Bowl LVIII. For a legion of Taylor Swift fans, the excitement is twofold, as the TIME Person of the Year herself is set to grace their TV screens. In case you've paid zero attention to pop culture news over the past several months, the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end, Travis Kelce, is dating Swift; and the record-breaking, multi-award-winning star plans to be in attendance to cheer on her beau in the Chiefs vs. 49ers matchup on Sunday, February 11.
In living rooms across the nation, Swifties are already gearing up for their Super Bowl parties, which promise to be a blend of football fandom and adoration of the singer-songwriter's discography. As expected, these faithful followers are getting pretty creative with the atmospherics. For example, some are crafting giant friendship bracelet banners to pay homage to the colorful, nostalgia-inducing souvenir of the economy-boosting Eras Tour.

No Big Game shindig is complete without a massive spread of comfort food. So, of course, a football- and music-themed menu is bound to steal the spotlight. Starting with the cocktails, a host would be remiss not to serve two of Swift's favorites. The French Blonde, made with elderflower liqueur and gin, symbolizes the charm, elegance, and sophistication she effortlessly exudes. Don't forget the vodka Diet Cokes — a simple, satisfying libation Swift admitted to loving in her "73 Questions" interview with Vogue. By the way, if guests are feeling up to the task, we even curated a Taylor Swift Super Bowl drinking game.
As far as the munchies are concerned, assemble a feast of chicken tenders with "seemingly ranch," cupcakes adorned with miniature footballs, helmets, and disco balls, and some of Swift's go-to grub. Lest we forget a batch of her famous pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, a nod to her fondness for autumn, and a platter of homemade cinnamon rolls, the legendary breakfast-meets-dessert she once baked for Kelce.
As the clock ticks down to the kickoff, Super Bowl LVIII promises to be a celebration not just of football, but of the camaraderie and infectious spirit that Swift embodies. From shimmering décor to decadent treats, a Taylor Swift-centric Super Bowl party is a tribute to the magic that happens when sports and music collide on a grand stage.
