Are you a die-hard Taylor Swift fan who dreams of attending her electrifying concerts and experiencing the VIP treatment? Well, why not bring the concert vibe right to your home? In this blog, we’ll guide you through creating a Taylor Swift-themed party, complete with DIY VIP backstage passes, rhinestone microphones, and guitar-shaped chocolate lollipops. And to top it all off- some activities of bracelet making, a photo booth, cupcake decorating, and even a mini stage for your little superstar to shine on! Get ready to shake it off and have a fabulous time with your friends as you celebrate the music and style of this iconic pop star!
DIY VIP Backstage Passes:
Every true Swiftie knows the excitement of getting a VIP backstage pass. Create your own personalized VIP passes (I used Canva and printed these in wallet size at our local Walgreens) and lanyards. Include each guest’s name for an extra touch of exclusivity. These passes will make your guests feel like true VIPs throughout the party!
Bracelet Making:
To kick off the festivities, set up a bracelet-making station where the young partygoers can unleash their creativity and design their own Taylor Swift-inspired bracelets. Provide an array of colorful beads, strings, and charms, ensuring there’s a wide variety to choose from. The kids can have a blast creating unique accessories to take home as a delightful party favor.
Photo Booth Fun:
No birthday party is complete without a photo booth! Set up a Taylor Swift-themed backdrop featuring album covers, concert posters, and lyrics to some of her popular songs. Provide props like microphones, feather boas, and cardboard cutouts of Taylor Swift herself. Encourage the children to strike their best poses and capture these precious moments to cherish forever.
Cupcake Decorating:
Taylor Swift is known for her love of baking, so why not incorporate that into the party? Set up a cupcake decorating station, complete with plain cupcakes, frosting, and an assortment of colorful sprinkles. Let the little bakers unleash their imagination as they decorate their cupcakes to resemble Taylor Swift’s vibrant outfits or iconic symbols like hearts, red lips and stars. It’s a sweet treat that doubles as a creative activity!
The Mini Stage:
Transform a designated area into a mini stage, where the birthday girl or boy can showcase their talents, just like Taylor Swift. Decorate the backdrop with glittering lights, a personalized banner, and a microphone stand. Encourage the young guests to take turns performing their favorite Taylor Swift songs or even an original composition. This activity will boost confidence, foster creativity, and create cherished memories for years to come.
Tie-Dye “Taylor’s Version” Rosette Cake:
Capture the essence of Taylor Swift’s whimsical style with a tie-dye “Taylor’s Version” rosette cake. Start by baking your favorite cake flavor in layers. Divide the cake batter into three equal portions and dye each portion with pink, purple, and blue food coloring. Layer the different colored batters in your cake pans to create a tie-dye effect. Once the cake has cooled, frost it with a smooth layer of buttercream icing.
To create the rosette design, fill a piping bag fitted with a closed star tip with a contrasting color of buttercream icing. Starting from the bottom of the cake, pipe small rosettes in a circular motion, working your way up to the top. Repeat this process with the other two colors, creating a beautiful ombre effect. Finish off with edible glitter or sprinkles for extra sparkle.
Round Mirror Sugar Cookies:
To add a touch of sparkle to your dessert table, create round sugar cookies to represent “the mirror ball”. Bake your favorite sugar cookie recipe and cut out circles using a round cookie cutter. Once the cookies have cooled, ice them with a shiny silver or edible glitter icing. These cookies will reflect the glitz and glamour of Taylor Swift’s performances and make for a delicious party favor.

Decorations:
I purchased these printables from Etsy and purchased the iridescent frames at Dollar Tree! I like ordering printables because once you have the Download you can print the sizes you want and as many as you want! This one is linked here ! I used the cupcake toppers as well for our cupcake decorating station.
Rhinestone Microphones:
For a touch of glamour, provide your guests with rhinestone microphones to channel their inner Taylor Swift. These can be easily crafted by attaching adhesive rhinestones to a plain microphone (I purchased both off of Amazon!) Let your guests unleash their inner superstar as they sing along to Taylor’s greatest hits!
The Birthday Girl:
To make sure the boys are included, we added some “Travis Kelce” themed Game On cups filled with some football goodies with red and yellow-themed candy!

Hi! What glue did you use to attach the rhinestones to the microphones? They are amazing!
It is called e6000 glue.. below is the link or it can be found at local craft stores ! You only need a very little dot to apply the rhinestones (and it comes out quick so be careful!) The one oz tube covers about 15 microphones (they were smaller).
Here is the Product link: https://amzn.to/3u0JPum
