“Yuletide” is another word for Christmas, adding a more archaic and festive touch, while “suggestions” is a similar term to “ideas”.
There’s an ongoing debate about whether the Christmas season or Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour deserves the title of the most magical time of the year. However, one thing remains undisputed: when it comes to decorating for the holidays, we’re turning to our beloved Taylor Swift eras for inspiration.
Ever since Taylor Swift kicked off her Eras Tour earlier this year, the looks from her iconic stadium shows have been making waves in the fashion and style world. Swifties embraced home decor inspired by their idol, using paint colors to subtly pay homage to their favorite eras. Now that Christmas is here, we’re taking this trend a step further by creating holiday decor themes that perfectly capture the essence of each of her albums. Whether you want to go for a charming, youthful farmhouse look inspired by Fearless, or deck your halls in a pastel pink color palette while listening to Lover tracks, there’s an era – inspired decor idea for every Swiftie.
So, as we play Christmas Tree Farm, let’s explore the ultimate holiday decorating ideas for each of Taylor Swift’s eras.
Debut: Playful Country Vibe
Draw inspiration from Taylor’s first album and create a holiday decor scheme that blends country charm with a youthful, energetic spirit. The twangy, vibrant sound of this record lends itself beautifully to a decorating style that balances rustic elements with modern touches. A blue and green Christmas color palette, reminiscent of the album cover, gives a festive feel that’s refreshingly different from traditional holiday hues.

Fearless: Young and Confident Farmhouse
The Fearless era shares the youthful exuberance of the debut album but adds a dash of confidence and pop flair. Given that Fearless is the most – awarded album in country music history, it’s only fitting to fully embrace this decorating style. Combine a slightly rustic country aesthetic with contemporary, lively elements to craft a holiday look that mirrors the fresh, self – assured spirit of songs like Love Story and The Best Day.
This season, immerse yourself in the modern farmhouse aesthetic by taking cues from the neutral tones on the album cover. Incorporate natural textures with pinecones and unfinished wood, and pair them with bright accents and glistening gold ornaments for a cozy yet stylish look.

Speak Now: Dramatic Tones and Sparkling Purples
If the country farmhouse style isn’t for you, opt for a holiday decor inspired by the Speak Now era. This album showcases a more sophisticated and elevated sound, seamlessly blending Taylor’s country roots with a strong pop influence. The Speak Now era is a mix of angst – filled songs like Back to December, Better Than Revenge, and Last Kiss, along with the hopeful and upbeat vibes of hits such as Enchanted and Mine.
To capture the diverse emotions of this era, choose a color scheme of deep purples, pinks, and metallic shades. Get inspired by Haunted and paint a dark accent wall, which serves as the perfect backdrop for shimmering pink and silver ornaments, evoking the dazzling stadium lights during Taylor’s performance of Long Live. A flocked Christmas tree adds a nod to the era’s country influence, while mercury glass decorations and glittery accents bring out the fun, pop – inspired side.

Red: Bold Monochromatic Design
A rich crimson color scheme is an obvious choice for the Red era, but when decorating, think beyond just the color. Consider the overall aesthetic of the album, which had a nod to the 1950s with vintage – inspired black, white, and red accents. Taylor’s signature red lipstick, which became iconic during this era, serves as inspiration for a holiday decor scheme that’s as intense and unforgettable as the ten – minute version of All Too Well.

A rich, deep red or burgundy color palette perfectly encapsulates the melancholic and classic essence of songs like “I Almost Do” and “The Last Time.” Meanwhile, an all – encompassing decorating approach mirrors the intense emotions of the Red album. Don’t limit yourself to typical red baubles and Christmas bows. Instead, create a breathtaking holiday mantel display with a collection of monochromatic packages. Enhance the festive atmosphere with vibrant poinsettias and deep crimson pillar candles.
1989: Coastal Blues
When it comes to the 1989 era, you have two distinct directions to choose from. You can draw inspiration from the original album cover and continue the purple – tinged, pop – inspired color scheme reminiscent of the Speak Now era. Or, you can embrace the “coastal grandmother” aesthetic of the recent Taylor’s Version release. Given that 1989 is the most – awarded pop album in history, no matter which look you go for, commit fully to it.
I personally prefer the laid – back, beachy vibe of the latest album cover, so this holiday season, I’ll be embracing the trend of blue Christmas decor. Plan to incorporate various shades of blue, such as navy bows, royal blue ornaments, and pastel accents, along with natural elements like a flocked tree and dried flower sprays. Add plenty of sandy – colored decorative pieces, including gold ribbons, white yarn decorations, and natural wood tones.

Reputation: Black and Green
The Reputation era showcases Taylor’s bold and fearless side, with powerful tracks like “Are You Ready For It” and “Look What You Made Me Do.” A black and gold color scheme is an obvious choice for this era, but don’t hesitate to add some green accents for a more traditional touch – and as a nod to the snake imagery prominent in the tour visuals.
If you’re truly committed to this decor theme, opt for an all – black Christmas tree. Otherwise, adorn a traditional tree with black, gold, and green ornaments.

Lover: Pastel Palette
Lover stands in stark contrast to Reputation, exuding a light and cheerful mood. Let the album cover inspire your holiday decorating by embracing a pastel color combination. Bubblegum pink and sky blue are key colors in the Lover aesthetic, making it the perfect opportunity to blend your Christmas decor with the trendy Barbiecore style.
Choose a white Christmas tree as a blank canvas to showcase pink ornaments, tinsel, and bows. Incorporate other pastel hues through items like a tree skirt, wrapping paper, or a tree topper. If you don’t want to buy all new ornaments, take inspiration from “Paper Rings” and make classic paper chain garlands from colorful cardstock.

Folklore: Rustic Whimsy
If pastel colors aren’t to your taste, turn to the Folklore era. Swap out the glitz and glamour for simple, natural materials such as bottlebrush trees, evergreen branches, and paper decorations. The understated indie sound of the Folklore album provided comfort during the uncertainties of the pandemic, making a cozy cottagecore aesthetic an ideal fit for the winter months when many of us are staying indoors.
Taylor herself described this album as “fantasy, marvel, and whimsy,” so don’t overemphasize the rustic look. Start with an evergreen base and add ornaments and accents in unconventional colors. (Stockings inspired by “Cardigan” are a must – have!) For an even more playful take on this era, make paper snowflakes and decorations to hang around the house.

Evermore: Woodland Forest
This follow – up album has a similar feel to Folklore, but Evermore fully embraces the forest fairy aesthetic. While Folklore has a touch of playful whimsy, Evermore is all about creating a fantastical forest atmosphere. Build a woodsy winter wonderland using plenty of neutral plaid (a nod to the iconic plaid coat and braid on the album cover), moss, greenery, and lively elements.
Mushroom – inspired holiday decor is one of the hottest trends this season, and we can’t help but think the Eras Tour deserves some credit. Decorate trees and garlands with forest – themed ornaments, and adorn the rest of your home with natural elements, luxurious velvet, and gold accents.

Midnights: Retro Glam
Deck your halls in a lavender haze to celebrate the Midnights era. Taylor’s latest album represents another significant shift, featuring pop music with a more edgy sound than before. The aesthetic of this era combines 1970s style with a bedazzled Space Age look – so the decorating possibilities are endless.
Select a moody color scheme of deep blues and purples, and add plenty of sparkle for a truly “Bejeweled” look. Vintage decorations pay homage to the retro – inspired feel of the accompanying music videos, while dark jewel tones, velvet, and shimmering ornaments reflect the
