Taylor Swift Halloween Costume Idea Tops 2026 Picks

0:03 Hello! The scary music's back. You know what that means? It's five good news Halloween stories. Yes, the tradition is back. Let's take a look at the best Halloween costumes for 2026, says Variety, in no particular order. Maybe you'd like to go as Nikki from Obsession. What do I have to do, John? Well, you'll need some red and black zebra halters, black bottoms and plenty of gold jewelry. Plus, you got to put some fake blood on your face. I don't know about that one. What if you went? as the Super Bowl bushes from Bad Bunny's halftime show. Remember there was, like, fake grass, and we found out there were humans in it?

0:48 This is an actual costume you can get. That's amazing. How about Athena or Odysseus from the Odyssey? I guess the Athena costume, you just get yourself a robe of sorts, not too hard. The Odysseus part, I don't know, maybe you get a great beard. Not really feeling that one, telling you that variety. A little easier, and I think more fun, go as Madison Square Garden's celebrity row at a Knicks game. What you do is you wear a Knicks shirt like Taylor Swift did. She's there with one of her friends, has one that says Stevie Knicks. Knicks spelled like the basketball game. You know, that's kind of fun. You could get that and get two other friends to wear stuff like that. Some people are going as the doctors from the pit. Now, I don't know how I would know you're the doctor from the pit, but I guess you could go as a doctor. Variety tells us, grab some medical scrubs, an ID badge, and a stethoscope.

1:40 Then spend the evening looking exhausted. All right, maybe that would work. Some people want you to go as Dolly Parton. Some people host podcasts and say, too soon. But get big blonde hair, big lashes, rhinestones, and enough fringe. Also might want to carry a microphone. Might be a little too soon. I think the best idea there is the Taylor Swift one. Are you in Chicago? Well, Chicago Cat Tours is hosting a special Halloween event today. Saturday, October 10th, cat tours are neighborhood walk events where participants stroll along a route greeting local cats. This is fun. So for this next one, they will feature cats decked out in Halloween costumes. Plus, there's a neighborhood block party following the walk.

2:22 Dozens of local cats have already signed up, including Professor Meatloaf and Mr. Flufflepants. If you want to be part of this, you have to register by Wednesday, September 30th. So get on this thing. Dairy Queen is adding a Halloween menu because why not? Hey, I'll go. I'm always looking for an excuse to get a Blizzard. The new Halloween Blizzard combines Dairy Queen's soft serve with Oreo cookie pieces and some sort of flavor to make it purple. They're using some sort of purple yam that has been long time used in Filipino desserts. It has a naturally sweet flavor. It apparently tastes a little nutty and a little vanilla. It's called the Enchanted Oreo Blizzard. They also have the Bubble Brew DQ Sparkler, a drink made with blood orange and lemonade flavors, sparkling water, and cold foam.

3:08 DQ says the drink changes when it's stirred, creating more bubbles and more foam. Then, and this is a stretch, Ghost Pepper Sauce, bringing some spice to the four-piece chicken strip basket. I mean, yes, there's a thing called ghost peppers, but, you know, ghosts, a bit of a stretch there, Dairy Queen, but I'll go. Hey, remember Chia Pets? Things where you would grow plants? I don't know how you explain a Chia Pet. So it would be like a thing that resembled a head, and instead of hair growing out of the head, plants would grow out of the head. Remember that? Well, there's a new version for Halloween. This is, after all, five Good News Halloween stories. This one is a Chia Pet based on Halloween's Michael Myers. The Halloween 2. So it's not from Halloween. It's from Halloween 2. The Halloween 2 Michael Myers Chia Pet includes a unique pottery planter.

3:55 That's what I was fumbling for before. A convenient plastic drip tray. I'm glad it's convenient. And chia seed packets for three plantings. Owners can expect full growth in one to two weeks and almost no time at all. Your Halloween 2 Michael Myers Chia Pet will achieve maximum growth and enjoy a luscious green coat. Each Chia Pet Contains a simple six-step care instruction on how to grow your own miniature embodiment of evil. That's what's in the copy there. I didn't expect the second half of that sentence to go that way because I've grown a Chia Pet. It's not hard. Just throw the seeds on and water the thing. But I didn't know about creating my own miniature embodiment of evil. Now, this article points out there are no Star Trek Chia Pets. However, fun fact, Michael Myers' mask, this is true, is based on William Shatner. So you could just pretend it's a Captain Kirk Chia Pet and, you know, don't ask any questions. Now, you might be wondering, John, why is it a Halloween 2 Chia Pet and not just a Halloween Chia Pet? Well, the original John Carpenter Halloween from 1978 is a separate license from Halloween 2, which was released by Universal Pictures. You will now notice as you head forward in your life that most Michael Myers merchandise says Halloween 2 on the box and not Halloween.

5:07 And do you like horror? Do you like a good scare? Do you like Crocs? Can I interest you in Crocs Horror Clogs? That's right. Crocs has released two new classic clogs just ahead of Halloween. It's the Saw Billy Clog and the Halloween Michael Myers Clog. Now, interesting. Is this a Halloween Michael Myers Clog or a Halloween 2 Michael Myers Clog? The copy says Halloween. We're told the Michael Myers Classic Clog is inspired by the Halloween movie franchise. Ask the lawyers. I'm not getting into that. Also, if you prefer your Saw movies, you can get the Crocs Billy Classic Clog, created with the Jigsaw Killer and his haunting puppet Billy in mind. This shoe has a puzzling design and includes the memorable reverse bear trap as the heel strap. And those are your five good news Halloween stories.

5:54 Have a great day.
