A "Swiftie" in Wisconsin is making a splash in her neighborhood and on TikTok after dressing 10 Halloween skeletons in threads to mimic Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
Katelyn McLaughlin, a Sun Prairie resident, said she was inspired to create her display after attending one of Swift's concerts in June with a friend. She gathered plastic skeletons and got to work on crafting the costumes made popular by Swift.
"I couldn’t stop thinking about how good of an idea it was, and I started obsessing watching the videos from the show to figure out which outfits were in the cases," McLaughlin, 36, told Fox News Digital, explaining that she placed the skeletons in frames to recreate one of the sets from the concert.

"Working on all of the [clothing] pieces that were going to be on these skeletons was a creative outlet for me in addition to being in love with Taylor Swift. It was a lot of fun."

McLaughlin said she purchased two skeletons, used some she had stored away and borrowed the others from friends. Some clothes were from her own closet; she handcrafted the rest of the costumes herself, she said. (Katelyn McLaughlin)
