Taylor Swift Proposal Ideas to Help You Enter Your Next Era

Taylor Swift has seen plenty of love and heartbreak, and the superstar mixes that with emotional honesty and lyrical mastery to produce award-winning song writing. If you or your partner are proud to count yourselves as Swifties and are ready for your next step, then these Taylor Swift proposal ideas are for you.

As you find your ideal Taylor Swift proposal song and plan your big moment, consider what themes from Miss Americana's life and legacy, such as her favorite number 13, you can weave into your proposal story. Polaroid snapshots or friendship bracelets hinting about what is to come might be a good place to start as you peruse this list of Swift-inspired proposal ideas. For a little assistance pulling these off, check out The Knot Vendor Marketplace to hire a proposal planner. You can find them under the wedding planners section then filter by "getting engaged." Once you have a planner, make sure to line up your photographer and videographer as well.

1. Taylor Swift Concert

There are dozens of videos that show people pulling off a Taylor Swift Eras Tour proposal, but if you missed it this time around, we are sure she will tour again. The first step to making a Taylor Swift concert proposal happen is securing tickets to the event.

After you've done that, decide if you want to propose on the way to the concert with the music as a celebration or if you'd rather pop the question during a favorite romantic song, such as "Love Story" or "Lover." Just know, your time may be short in between or during songs to actually hear each other or say anything special. With this, though, you might get lucky enough to have an acknowledgment from Blondie herself if you're close enough to the stage where she can see the excitement go down.

2. Using Paper Rings

There's no denying that Lover's "Paper Rings" tells the story of someone willing to tie the knot, and that's why we think using a paper ring to propose would be absolutely adorable. So, ask your love if they would marry you with paper rings and then make them together. Have a sign nearby with lyrics from the song, such as "You're the one I want" or "I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings."

Level up this Taylor Swift proposal idea by taking a metalsmithing class together to create gorgeous rings that look like paper (we're thinking white gold with a hammer finish) but will actually last a lifetime.

3. Surrounded by Felines at a Cat Cafe

If your person is a Swiftie, there's a pretty big chance they love cats as much as the superstar herself. If so, consider a date to a cat cafe as the setup for your proposal moment. Often, the cats at these establishments are up for adoption, so perhaps picking out a cat together can be the first step of the engagement process. If you're feeling extra creative, call the shop ahead of time and see if you can donate money in exchange for naming a cat or even have one of the cats bring the engagement ring to your love on its collar. Don't forget to post on social media about this unique proposal and use some of our favorite Taylor Swift captions when you do.

4. Midnights Proposal With a Lavender Haze

If you and your partner tend to keep hours similar to Swift's, embrace the magic of midnight with a date out of the "Lavender Haze" music video. We're thinking retro decor, lavender plants and a signature drink to highlight the occasion. Perhaps follow up the proposal with a beach stroll ending in a 3 a.m. candlelit snuggle on a blanket with some fake snow and candles. Mixing in other romantic ways to propose and various elements from the sultry Midnights album is essential to making a creative yet chill Taylor Swift wedding proposal.

5. Handwritten Signs From "You Belong With Me"

There's nothing quite like the high school romance pictured in Swift's 2009 "You Belong With Me" music video. Recreate this and stand outside your love's window with the classic "You OK?" sign. Bonus points if you plant a pad and paper for them to reply. Next, flip up an "I Love You" sign just like Taylor did, but hopefully, your almost-fiance will actually read it. Then, ask them to come outside and drop to one knee while you belt out the chorus. If this seems a bit involved, you can jump straight to the "I Love You" sign and music at a spot that is meaningful to you both.

6. On a Christmas Tree Farm

December is a popular time to get engaged, as the holiday spirit has most people in good moods and family and friends are near. If this sounds like your season to get engaged, make your Taylor Swift marriage proposal on a Christmas tree farm. Take elements from the song's lyrics and video, making sure there is mistletoe and twinkling lights. Use phrases from the song to level up the proposal, such as letting them know they are your wish coming true.

7. "Lover"-esque Video Montage

Taylor Swift's music video masterpiece "Lover" gives you a lot to pick from with this iconic song. While you could certainly throw a New Year's party like the one in the video, we think a video montage projected onto a white sheet like the one in the house's attic while you snuggle up is a solid choice for a Taylor Swift fan who might be wanting a more private, cozy proposal. You can incorporate a gift by buying your Swiftie a Taylor-inspired bright yellow ensemble just like the video.

"Lover" is one of our favorite Taylor Swift proposal songs as it has an abundance of lines to use in the big moment, from "Can I go where you go?" to "I've loved you three summers but I want them all." Whatever you choose, this song is hands down one of the best choices for working into Taylor Swift proposals.

8. Kansas City Watch Party Proposal

If Taylor's love story with Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce has inspired a love for football in your relationship, a Chiefs watch party might be just the right place to get engaged. You can keep it on theme without raising any suspicions by getting some custom cookies made and going all out with Taylor-and-Travis decor. Whenever you decide to ask, present your love with a jersey in Chief's colors with your last name on it. This is a great way to involve friends and family in the proposal and allows for a more relaxed time to celebrate with those you love as compared to a proposal at a Taylor Swift concert.

9. Surrounded by Pictures Hanging From Strings

If you have your proposal spot already picked out but are wondering how to make it just right for your Swiftie, grab some string and photos of you all as a couple to recreate the scene from Taylor's "Mine" music video. While you can certainly pull this off in the woods like in the video, it would still be well received in a park gazebo, at your house or another location special to the two of you. Working with an engagement planner would help pull this off, and this Taylor Swift-inspired proposal is certainly worth hiring an engagement photographer to capture too.

10. Walk Through Your Eras as a Couple

If you and your sweetheart have been through some different life stages together, use that history to create your own Eras tour leading up to a proposal. With labels like "High School," "College Sweethearts" or the name of a city you lived in together, create a video to highlight each era or decorate different rooms in your house that you walk through together to match the stages. Make an Eras poster using photos from your time together with all the different color filters just like the real thing. To incorporate this into a meal, theme different parts of a multi-course dinner with each of your eras. Not only will this be a romantic walk down memory lane before looking towards the future together, but you can snap some Polaroids as you ask your partner to enter the engagement era with you.

11. Taylor Swift Karaoke Proposal

Karaoke is an incredibly fun way to get a group of friends together, and a Taylor Swift-inspired night is one way to surprise your partner with a proposal party to remember. While you can spend plenty of time singing through Tay's top hits, make sure to save something like "Lover" or "Call It What You Want" to bust out when it's time to declare your love. If you choose the latter song, gift your fiance with a necklace with your initials to go with the new ring. This is also an easy way to use "Love Story" during a Taylor Swift proposal.
