Invitation: I decided to have a bit of fun with my invitation by incorporating an image I found of Swift photoshopped onto Kelce's body. I used this and an image of Brock Purdy to show the rivalry. I switched out the KC in the middle of the Chief's arrowhead with a TS for Taylor Swift. Then I added a few of Swift's song titles into my text.
Decorations: Both teams have red in their uniforms, and Taylor's album was called "Red," so that color became a big focus of the party. I purchased a red shimmery backdrop from Amazon to put up behind my table. I added white butcher paper behind it to cover the photo collage of my family. I also purchased the football field tablecloth from Amazon.
For a centerpiece, I purchased 3 pieces of red glitter cardstock from Michaels to use like a table runner. On this, I had a gold vase filled with red artificial flowers and gold tissue paper. I designed images to put on skewers inside the vase and to use as photos props for pictures.
Also in the centerpiece was a football with some red heart shaped glasses to represent Taylor Swift. I found these in the dollar bin at Target. I borrowed the mini 49er helmet and the black 49er hat from my neighbor. The wooden heart is a Valentine's decoration, but I added it to give more of a Taylor Swift vibe to the centerpiece.
The red plastic plates and smaller gold paper plates I purchased at Dollar Tree. I then printed out logos for the 49ers and the Swifties and alternated the teams around the table.
The gold napkins I also purchased at Dollar Tree. I made mini Swiftie friendship bracelets to wrap around the napkins. These also served as place cards, and I put letter beads with the guest's initials on the bracelet. If I were to host this party again, I would probably keep the napkin less folded and include the guest's entire name, but for my small group, the initials were fine.

For my beverage table, I lucked out by having close friends that have great memorabilia they let me borrow for the night. One friend went to a Taylor Swift concert, and let me borrow the boxes (on the mantle) and the giant envelopes (on the table) which show Taylor's Eras Tour. I borrowed a 49er jersey from other friend.
Another friend let me borrow his football from the 2020 Super Bowl that is signed by all the players!
I had fun creating and designing my wine labels with a Taylor Swift vibe, but words that promoted a 49er win! Used Taylor Swift's song "Blank Space" to represent zero points on the scoreboard for Kansas City.
For wine charms, I printed out small logos and images I found online. Things like an Eras Tour poster with Kelse instead of Swift, a Chiefs jersey with Swift as the name on the back, red lips, etc.
Menu: This is a dinner, rather than snacks, so I needed to create a menu that was filling, but still fit with the theme. I decided to highlight various star players on both teams & of course Taylor Swift. We started with an appetizer of veggies and dip. I called this BROCK-oli with more than PURDY good dip after the 49ers quarterback, Brock Purdy.
For the main dish, I had burgers with all the fixings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon, and avocado. I named these burgers after Taylor Swift's song "Back to December" calling them Back to Decem-BURGERS. Also brought Travis Kelce from the Chief's in with the TRAVIS-ty of toppings.
You've gotta have fries with cheeseburgers, right? Named these after the 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey calling them McCaf-fries.
Deebo Samuel is another amazing player for the 49ers. We had boneless honey buffalo wings I renamed DEEBO-ned Chicken Wings.
I couldn't decide between two ideas for dessert, so I decided to do mini versions of both. One was mini red velvet cupcakes with buttercream frosting & edible sugar. My friend who works at Small Cakes bakery (yummy stuff) made these for me, and I just added pennants I designed. These were named after Taylor Swift's song, "Red".
Activity/Game: I had fun coming up with this fill-in-the-blank game for the party. I looked up some of Taylor Swift's most popular songs, and tried to incorporate them into Super Bowl sentences. My favorite is, Mahomes will definitely say, "I Knew You Were Trouble" after playing against the 49er defense! As a 49er fan, these sentences were definitely bias to my team, but the guests got a kick out of it.
Favor: Aren't these cookies so cute? One of my neighbors offered to make Super Bowl/Taylor Swift themed cookies for me, and she did an amazing job! From footballs, to circles with SF, to castles with "Love Story" on them, they were perfect. Yummy too!
As guest's departed, I also gave them this Super Bowl Bingo sheet Swiftie Edition to play during the game this Sunday. I had fun making this and coming up with some of the things that were funny with the Taylor Swift obsession. This card is definitely more geared to both teams. I tried to be fair (for the most part). You may catch my one addition that isn't equally represented!
This was such a fun party, and one you can totally throw together for this weekend's game. GO NINERS!
