Ghosts of her past romances are making an appearance in Hoboken.
A residence on Garden Street showcasing Halloween decorations inspired by Taylor Swift—complete with tombstones bearing the names of her notable ex-boyfriends—has gained immense popularity, amassing 2.5 million views on TikTok.
However, while the quirky setup highlights Swift’s former flames such as Harry Styles, Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Matty Healy, and Joe Alwyn, it neglects some prominent figures from her dating history—drawing criticism from fans who feel strongly about it.
One comment lamented, “Justice for Tom Hiddleston,” referencing the British actor who shared a brief romance with Swift in summer 2016.
Another fan quipped, “No Calvin [Harris]? I guess he’s been forgotten,” referring to the Scottish DJ who dated Swift from March 2015 to June 2016.
Another user expressed relief with the comment, “Thank you for not including Taylor Lautner,” the “Twilight” actor whom Swift dated briefly in 2009, coining the term “Taylor Squared.”
“Didn’t she have a fling with a Kennedy? We could add him too,” one person remarked, referencing her short-lived romance with Conor Kennedy, son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which has recently reignited discussions given their significant age difference at the time.
Tim Dwyer, the creative mind behind the spooky decorations, explained to The Post that the exclusions were based on practical reasons.
“We had so many names to consider that we wanted to avoid spending $1,000 on custom gravestones,” shared Dwyer, who decorated the residence for an anonymous couple in New Jersey.
A skeleton representing Swift alongside her new fiancé Travis Kelce, donned in a Chiefs jersey and kneeling, is prominently displayed right by the front door.
Adding to the spookiness, a skeleton of Scooter Braun is caged, playing on their infamous feud over the rights to Swift’s early albums, with Braun currently rumored to be linked with Sydney Sweeney.
Dwyer mentioned that the homeowners reached out immediately after settling into their uptown Hoboken residence, which is renowned for its elaborate Halloween decorations.
“They said, ‘You have to come up with something that will go viral… and his wife is a Swiftie,’” he recalled.
The creative endeavor indeed went viral, even appearing on the Instagram account Hoboken Weekend, where many commenters were captivated by the virtual graveyard of Swift’s past lovers.
“Bro, T Swift has to have the highest body count in music history,” one user mused. “Look at those names on her hit list.”
