You Need to Calm Down Halloween Costume (How To)
If you’re a Swiftie, you know the Lover Era was iconic (although I’m still bummed the pandemic had to cancel Lover Fest). You Need to Calm Down was an epic music video and I was all for the Taylor sass, which inspired me to be her for Halloween of 2020.
Did many people get to see this costume on actual Halloween? No. However, it has gone pretty viral on Pinterest which means it was worth dressing up! I thought I should finally write a blog with the DIY tips in case a Swiftie is in dire need of this info!
If you would also like to be Taylor for Halloween, here is what I did to recreate this character:
- Bejeweled sunglasses
- Pearl heart earrings
- Big fur pink neon coat
- Light pink bikini
- Light pink high-waisted skirt (unless you want to be bold and wear the high-waisted bikini)
- Martini glass
- Figure out the hair thing (which was difficult since I have fine, thin hair)
I did not keep links to where I got all the items. I want to say I spent less than $120 on all the items via various sites (Amazon, Shein, Zaful).
Here are some items I found that might recreate this look:
- The Pink Neon Coat (in XL sizes)
- Martini glass (plastic)
- Gem Sunglasses
- Light pink bikini
- Light pink skirt
- Pearl Heart Earrings
I highly recommend listening to You Need to Calm Down while you shop to get you in the spirit!

Us Swifties have one thing in common, our intelligence in acknowledging that Taylor is the Greatest Artist of our generation. Taylor has inspired me to write for myself and to spread the truth about nutrition information. As a dietitian/author/Swiftie, I am so excited about the book I just released called The Code of a Healthy Mind. If you’d like to read more about me and my nutrition philosophy, click here.
