Scary Swift! Taylor Swiftthemed Skeleton House 'Terror Swift: The scEras Tour'
Oct 03, 2024
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — For 20 years, the owner of the mansion on the corner of St. Charles Avenue and State Street in Uptown has been decorating for Halloween with skeletons in their front yard, but this year it is a new "Era." Their bone yard is now transformed into the Taylor Swift themed, "Terror Swift: The scEras Tour."
"13 different Taylors, and a football player that you might recognize," Louellen Berger, owner of "The Skeleton House NOLA" said.
These Taylor versions of the pop star are popping up in Berger's bone yard with the help of her 11 grandchildren.

"We put all of our minds together and came up with all the ideas. My younger grandkids even did all the friendship bracelets, so it was a family affair," she said.
All of these skeletons are "Taylor made."
"My earlier career was in fashion, so I really like doing this. A lot of the outfits are former outfits of our children or grandchildren, and several of them are even gymnastics outfits," Berger said.
Berger designed each Swift skeleton differently.
"I hope you notice the eyelashes and piercing blue eyes. The hair styles are different on each one. I wanted her fingernails to match the color scheme of her dresses," she said.
A lot of hard work went into putting on this "show."

"It really took one full day per skeleton, because I really wanted to honor her. She's an icon," Berger said.

In addition to all the new Taylor Swift skeletons, this year, there's also a new one of Snoop Doggy Dogg.
Berger isn't expecting Swift to stop by and see the skeletons when she's in town for her "Eras" tour in late October, but she would be excited.
"I doubt she will come by, but I think I'd faint and be speechless if she did. I'm sure she won't come by, but if her fans do, I'll be fine with that," she said.
