My search for Taylor Swift gifts was a fun one. It goes without saying: we all have a Swiftie in our lives. They’re the ones who spot all the Easter eggs (still no Reputation – Taylor’s Version) and are never without their friendship bracelets. Have you caught them watching NFL yet? Yep, I thought so. But what do you buy your besties who are Taylor-obsessed? Read on for some inspo and all the Taylor Swift gifts they’ll actually want.
Can we collectively agree we’re all in our Taylor Swift era? I reignited my Swiftie status last year when Speak Now – Taylor’s Version was released, and I was immediately fifteen years old crying on my bedroom floor again.
Until then, I would absolutely sing along whenever Shake it Off came on – and scream ‘the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now, oh why?’ – at every oppurttunity. Iconic. But Swiftie? I probably couldn’t claim to be.
I don’t know if it’s just the Speak Now re-release or having this year’s Tortured Poet’s Department album on repeat. Or maybe it’s the Eras Tour effect and my FYP being filled with rhinestone outfits and friendship bracelet decoding? Whatever it is, it’s Taylor’s year, and I am so here for it. So when GLAMOUR called on me as the Swifitie to pull together the best Taylor Swift gifts best believe I was pulling on my cowboy boots.

You could go down the route of helping your Swiftie friends replicate Tay’s looks. Taylor’s often been spotted in one of GLAMOUR’s go-to brands for chic and sustainable dressing – Reformation. Taylor wore the Radlee Knit Dress out in New York last autumn, and elevated the cosy look with knee-high boots and layered jewellery. Unsurprisingly, it became pretty hard to add any of the colourways to your basket, and this season, it’s been in and out of stock. I’d recommend joining the waitlist to make your bestie’s day.
For another failsafe fashion gift? Look to Taylor’s Kansas City Chiefs merch ‘fits. I can’t get enough of the pictures of her jumping up and down in the box supporting boyfriend Travis Kelce out on the field. And she always looks good doing it, natch. Any Swiftie would want to support Travis, *ahem* Taylor, and River Island are stocking a Chiefs-inspired sweatshirt. Tay would be proud.

If you’re not looking for a fashion gift for your fellow Swifite, there are plenty of other fun gift ideas to shop that they’ll love. From their favourite album on vinyl to the scented candle Taylor loves, whether they’re an interiors-lover or wouldn’t be seen out without ten pieces of jewellery, there’s something every fan will adore. Short of snagging them an eras tour ticket or a meet and greet, obvs. We can dream.
