Welcome to the “ScarEras Tour.”
Katelyn McLaughlin of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, is going viral on TikTok for her Taylor Swift-inspired Halloween lawn decor that has Swifties forgetting all about their “Cruel Summer.”
McLaughlin, 36, told Fox News Digital that she was inclined to assemble the show-stopping skeleton spectacle after attending Swift’s “Eras Tour” in June.
At the show, several of Swift’s dancers wore memorable outfits made famous by the “Shake It Off” singer — inside large glass boxes.
This sent McLaughlin on a mission to gather plastic skeletons and create similar costumes.
“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 told Fox, adding that her kids, husband, and a friend helped bring her vision to life, err, death.
“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.”
The set-up — complete with lights that blink to the beat of Swift’s greatest hits — is a massive hit on TikTok, with 1.3 million views this month.
“Where am I traveling to see this masterpiece????” one Swiftie asked.
“John Mayer’s house,” another joked, referencing one of Swift’s infamous exes.
“Urrrrmmm can I borrow the skeletons ‘Reputation’ outfit,” another wondered.
The daring display is also appreciated by McLaughlin’s neighbors.
“I have met so many people. I have made friendship bracelets and handed them to people who stop by,” McLaughlin said of trading bracelets, which is customary among Swifties.
While she understands that Travis Kelce’s new boo is “super busy,” she hopes that Swift, 33, will be “Enchanted” by her viral work.
“I always joke that if she responded, I would lay down and pass away,” McLaughlin laughed.
