Easter EggsIn true Taylor Swift fashion, there are so many easter eggs for fans sprinkled throughout the video, including a reference to the iconic Cher quote “Mom, I am a rich man,” to changing the word “glad” to “GLAAD,” and highlighting the letters “EA” letters in reference to the Equality Act. Any of these would also make great Halloween costume ideas! You’ll get points for creativity!
- Mom, I am a rich man: The quote comes courtesy of a 1996 Cher interview with Jane Pauley. You can write the phrase on a t-shirt, and then get some fake Monopoly money to stuff your pockets. It’s a mood!Equality Act: For the costume, you can wear a white t-shirt and long johns with the words of the Act written with sharpie all over.Snake turning into butterflies: True Swift fans know that she is ditching her snake imagery for a new butterfly persona for the new album.Spilling the tea: In the video, Queer Eye’s Tan France is seen sipping piping hot tea from a kettle, just like Swift did in her “Look What You Made Me Do” video. Buy a floral tea kettle and matching tea cup and you’ll have the perfect Halloween accessory!Drag pop queens: Stars from RuPaul’s Drag Race are seen dressing up as pop queens like Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Adele and more, in a pageant where everyone gets the crown. Great group costume!
