What Would Taylor Swift Drink in Each Album Era?

From fairytale princess to full-blown femme fatale and indie folk queen, Taylor Swift’s eras are as iconic as her lyrics. And while we can’t exactly slide into her DMs and ask her drink of choice (unless you’re Joe Alwyn…wait, were Joe Alwyn), we can have some fun imagining what she'd sip in each of her distinctive album phases.

So Swifties, grab your metaphorical glasses – we're pairing drinks with each Taylor Swift era based on vibes, aesthetics, and pure drama.

Taylor Swift (Debut) – Sweet Tea Vodka Lemonade

Era Vibe: Country girl next door with curly hair, cowboy boots, and dreams bigger than Nashville.
Drink Match: Sweet Tea Vodka Lemonade
Why: It's youthful, southern, and a little flirty – just like teenage Taylor in 2006. This drink feels like a front porch hangout after school, writing songs about Tim McGraw and high school heartbreaks.

Fearless – Champagne with Strawberries

Era Vibe: Princess gowns, fairytales, and first love butterflies.
Drink Match: Champagne with fresh strawberries
Why: The “Fearless” era is peak fairytale romance. Champagne screams celebration and sparkle, while the strawberries add a dash of innocent sweetness, perfect for “Love Story” and enchanted ballroom daydreams.

Speak Now – Lavender Gin Fizz

Era Vibe: Self-written drama, unapologetic confessions, and a side of magical purple.
Drink Match: Lavender Gin Fizz
Why: Elegant yet bold. Floral but packs a punch. The Lavender Gin Fizz is for someone who crashes weddings and writes 6-minute ballads calling people out – respectfully, of course.

Red – Spiked Mulled Wine

Era Vibe: Emotional chaos, autumn leaves, scarves, and Jake Gyllenhaal slander.
Drink Match: Spiked Mulled Wine
Why: Warm, bittersweet, and perfect for crying on the floor in a knit sweater. Just like “All Too Well,” this drink simmers with complexity and nostalgia. Bonus points if served in a mason jar.

What Would Taylor Swift Drink in Each Album Era?

1989 – Cosmopolitan

Era Vibe: High heels on New York sidewalks, crop tops, polaroids, and a touch of electro-pop sparkle.
Drink Match: Cosmopolitan
Why: Glamorous, flirty, and a little bit retro. Taylor’s transition to pop deserves a drink that says “I’m out with my girl gang and we’re thriving.” Just don’t invite Katy Perry.

Reputation – Whiskey Neat

Era Vibe: Dark lipstick, snakes, secrecy, and vengeance.
Drink Match: Whiskey Neat
Why: No ice. No mixers. Just pure fire. The Reputation Taylor doesn’t have time for frills – she’s sipping something strong while plotting revenge in her black bodysuit. Cheers, snake emoji.

What Would Taylor Swift Drink in Each Album Era?

Lover – Frosé

Era Vibe: Pastel hearts, butterflies, and unapologetic romance.
Drink Match: Frosé (Frozen Rosé)
Why: Whimsical, Instagrammable, and sugary-sweet – just like the “Lover” era. Whether she’s singing in a technicolor dream house or declaring her heart’s devotion, this is peak sunshine-in-a-glass energy.

Folklore – Hot Toddy

Era Vibe: Cardigans, cabin-core, lowercase song titles, and cottage witch energy.
Drink Match: Hot Toddy
Why: Earthy, introspective, and best enjoyed wrapped in a blanket while journaling. Folklore is Taylor's acoustic soul cleanse – and the Hot Toddy is warm, woody, and a little melancholic.

Evermore – Red Wine (Specifically Pinot Noir)

Era Vibe: Woods in winter, lost love, literary references, and introspection 2.0.
Drink Match: A deep glass of Pinot Noir
Why: Evermore is Folklore’s moodier sister. There’s pain, there’s poetry, and there’s Pinot. It’s the drink of choice for emotionally unavailable authors and exiles alike.

Midnights – Espresso Martini

Era Vibe: 3AM anxiety, disco balls, vulnerability, and plotting in glitter eyeliner.
Drink Match: Espresso Martini
Why: It's sexy, it's caffeinated, it’s chaotic – a perfect match for Midnights. Ideal for pondering existential dread and heartbreak while looking really good under club lighting.

The Tortured Poets Department – Absinthe Spritz

Era Vibe: Cynical wordsmithing, haunted typewriters, literary nihilism, and romantic post-mortems.
Drink Match: Absinthe Spritz
Why: Dramatic, poetic, and just a bit dangerous. The absinthe brings the edge, the spritz lightens the gloom, and together they make something you’ll overthink for weeks. Perfect for a Swiftian spiral.

Eras, Emotions & Elixirs: A Swift Recap

Whether you're a “Fearless” champagne sipper or a “Reputation”-era whiskey straight-up type, there’s a Taylor Swift drink for everyone. Her eras are more than just aesthetics – they're moods, moments, and milestones. So next time you're listening to your favorite Taylor album, why not raise a glass in style?

And remember: Drink responsibly...but dramatize your exes recklessly.
