House’s Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce-Inspired Halloween Display Goes Viral
One house has summoned the spirits of Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce for a Halloween display that many online are holding up as the year’s best so far.
Kelsey Lundquist told Newsweek: “I was driving home from picking my son up from school and took a different way home than usual and came across the house.”
That was when she discovered a skeleton in a blond wig standing up in front of another one decked out in Kelce’s Kansas No. 87 jersey. The sports star skeleton is kneeling down in front of the Swift one, with his arms reaching out.
On either side sit four fake gravestones bearing the words: “RIP Harry,” “RIP John,” “RIP Jake” and “RIP Joe”—thought to be references to four of Swift’s former partners: Harry Styles, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal and Joe Alwyn.
Lundquist posted a video of the display to TikTok under the handle @kelseylundquist14, alongside a caption branding it the “best decorated house in the Neighborhood.” At the time of writing, the video has been watched over 12.4 million times in a week.
“I thought it was so cute and clever! Especially with Taylor and Travis being such the IT couple right now, I couldn’t pass up taking a video and sharing it,” Lundquist said. “I did not, however, think it would blow up the way it has! It’s so much fun, and I love how much love the video has gotten!”
Total Halloween spending in the U.S. is expected to exceed last year’s record of $10.6 billion. The National Retail Federation’s (NRF) annual survey conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics said that Americans are projected to shell out a record $12.2 billion celebrating the spooky season this year.
A record number of people are also projected to participate in Halloween-related activities. The NRF survey found that 73 percent of people were planning to get involved in trick-or-treating and other related activities. That represents a rise in the 69 percent reported in 2022.
This particular display appears to have caught the imagination of many on TikTok, whether Swifties or otherwise, with viewers flocking to comment on what is on display in the clip.
One user declared it the “best Halloween house ever,” with another agreeing it “wins Halloween.”
“We need to make a drop in visit to this neighborhood,” a third posted, while a fourth went one step further, rebranding Halloween “Taylorween” in light of the display.
Elsewhere, one viewer commented that it was “insane how this is not the first travis/taylor skeleton decor i’ve seen on tiktok.”
Kelce and Swift have rarely been out of the spotlight since their budding romance was confirmed. Since then, Swift has hit the headlines after forming a unique bond with Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany. Meanwhile, Kelce is rumored to have purchased a $6 million mansion, so the couple can have a little more privacy.
With fans happily building entire Halloween displays around the couple’s relationship, it would appear they are going to remain in the headlines for a little while longer.
