🎤 Taylor Swift Theme Variations

1. Eras Tour Party

Each section of the party represents a different Taylor era — Lover (pink), Folklore (cottagecore), Reputation (black/snake), Midnights (purple/stars). The ultimate Swiftie experience. Ages 7–12.

2. Lover Era

All pink, pastels, hearts, and butterflies. Sweet and dreamy. Perfect for younger Swifties ages 5–8.

3. Midnights / Lavender Haze

Dark purple, navy, silver stars, and celestial vibes. Sophisticated for tweens ages 9–12.

4. Concert Party

Turn your space into a mini concert venue — stage, microphone, dance floor, and light show. All ages.
