If you have a Swiftie in your house then chances are your elf or elves are swifties too and given the excitement around The Eras Tour this year, it's highly likely the elves might want to be at a Taylor Swift concert, or in one of her music videos at some point during December. I've put together a heap of Taylor Swift inspired elf ideas that are sure to get your little swifties excited.
Whether your elves want to shake it off, speak now, or have a lot going on right now, there's plenty of ways you can incorporate Taylor Swift's iconic lyrics, fashion, videos and the eras tour into your elf antics, no matter what era they're currently in.
TAYLOR SWIFT THE ERAS TOUR ELF IDEAS
Set up your very own Eras Tour show at home with the elves and they can have fun jamming out to one, or all ten of the eras Which one is your favourite?
The Eras Tour Tickets
The first hurdle your elves need to face before they can even get to an eras tour concert, is being able to actually get tickets. We all know how nerve wracking and frustrating ticket release days are. Lucky your elves can get their own special tickets here without spending hours waiting in an online queue.
The Eras Tour Merch Stand

Of course every destination on the tour will also have a merchandise stand where dedicated swifties can get their hands on coveted Taylor merch. The elves can visit the merch stand too and buy their own mini Taylor merch.
Take a closer look at elf Joy's amazing merch stand here which includes mini cds, posters, tiny friendship bracelets and hoodies.

The elves can set up their own Eras concert at home with an elf eras poster {see the end of this post for the poster} and a miniature grand piano.
Taylor Performing

Gail went a step further and recreated the actual tour complete with a Taylor doll that she hand painted the Versace bodysuit on {worn by Swift during the Lover era of the tour}. If you have a look at Gail's post here you'll see in the other photos that the Barbie's and elves attending the concert are also dressed in outfits inspired by different albums including Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore and Midnights.
Red Era
If your elves are in their red era and feeling 22, chances are they'll have a lot going on right now. You can get an elf a lot going on right now shirt here and a mini fedora hat here.
Reputation Era

I love Ari's are you ready for it set up with her own DIY version of Taylor's one legged sequins snake outfit from the concert performance, which she made using black felt and mini red rhinestone strips. She also included a 1 day countdown background because it's only 1 day until Taylor's birthday and the release of The Eras Tour film on streaming.
Lover Era

Elf Joy recreated the lover performance complete with a model coloured lover house backdrop. She's also wearing a customised bejewelled Barbie outfit and boots to represent the Versace bodysuit and Christian Louboutin boots Taylor wears during the concert.
If you want your elf to have posable hands as shown above, you can get special posable elf gloves here. Also make sure you follow Joy on Instagram as she's done a new Taylor Swift set up every day during December.
Eras Tour Swiftmas Tree
I love this Eras Tour themed swiftmas tree that uses bottle caps to represent friendship bracelet beads that spell out eras tour. The elves also have their own mini friendship bracelets on while sitting with The Ears Tour merch.
HOW TO RECREATE TAYLOR SWIFT SONGS & MUSIC VIDEOS WITH YOUR ELF
You can also have fun setting up scenes from Taylor Swift's music videos using miniature props and raiding the Barbie clothes if needed.
Look What You Made Me Do

Recreate the iconic bath scene from Taylor's song Look what you made me do with a miniature plastic doll bath, some rhinestone gems, kids fake rings and necklaces to make it look like the elf is singing the song while bathing in jewels.
Lavender Haze
Set up a lavender room to recreate Lavender Haze. Put your elf in a bath with purple water {aka the purple washer and streamers} just like when Taylor swims in lavender water in the video. If you want to recreate Taylor's outfit from the concert performance you can get an Elves' behavin badly fluffy purple elf jacket.
Bejewelled

Recreate the scene in the bejewelled music video where Taylor walks out covered in jewels by covering your elf with sequins or rhinestones. Add a sign with the lyrics I can still make the whole place shimmer.
Out of the Woods
A really easy way to set up an out of the woods elf idea is to pop the elf in the Christmas tree {the woods} with a sign of the lyrics Are we out of the woods yet? Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet, good!
Christmas Tree Farm
Probably the most well suited Taylor Swift song to recreate with the elves is Christmas tree farm, for obvious reasons. The elves can set up their own Christmas tree farm with miniature Christmas trees or Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes.
ELF TAYLOR & TRAVIS
Taylor's boyfriends are always a hot topic in the press, especially since many of them are featured in her hit songs post breakup. Her current beau is Travis Kelce and although he doesn't officially appear in her song lyrics yet, she did change the lyrics of Karma to karma is the guy on the chiefs, coming straight home to me during a live performance.
