Miranda Soukup’s “Life of a Showghoul” Halloween display — a spooky spin on Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl — has gone viral with 2.5M TikTok views, featuring skeleton Taylor, Travis “Killce” proposing, and exes’ graves for Harry, Joe Jonas, and more. Jason Kelce gave it his “stamp of the week” on New Heights, sparking a Hoboken “war” of copycats. From DIY feathers to bone bracelets, it’s Swiftie community at its best. Recreate the vibe for under $135 with sequins, jerseys, and tombstones.
A Taylor Swift superfan’s Halloween setup has Swifties losing it: Miranda Soukup’s “Life of a Showghoul” display in Minneapolis reimagines The Life of a Showgirl with skeletons, exes’ tombstones, and a Travis “Killce” proposal to a bone-ified Taylor.
With Jason Kelce shouting it out on New Heights, it’s the ultimate Eras Tour-meets-spooky season slay. From DIY friendship bracelets to a Scooter Braun jail cell, here’s the full breakdown — plus how to recreate the vibe for your porch under $100.
Miranda’s front yard is a Swiftie haunted house:
Skeleton Taylor: Blonde wig, showgirl feathers, mic in hand — front and center on a bone-lit stage.
Travis “Killce” Proposal: Bony Travis (in Chiefs jersey) on one knee to Taylor, complete with “New Frights” podcast booth (nod to New Heights).
Exes’ Graves: Tombstones for Harry Styles, Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, Matty Healy, Joe Alwyn, John Mayer — even a Conor Kennedy plot. (Missing? Calvin Harris and Taylor Lautner — “Forgot they existed,” fans joked.)
Feud Cells: Scooter Braun in orange jumpsuit behind bars; Kanye West grave.
Album Covers: Spooky skeletons on Folklore, Midnights, etc.
Miranda told People: “I heard ‘Showghoul’ and brainstormed for six weeks.” With help from friend Michael (album puns) and sister Ali (hot-gluing feathers), it was up by Oct 1 — just in time for the Oct 3 album drop.
On New Heights, Jason dubbed it his “stamp of the week”, begging for a beard on his “Jason Killce” skeleton. Miranda delivered — now it’s got 2.5M TikTok views (@kathifinni1). Fans: “Hoboken needs this!” (One NJ home recreated it, sparking a “friendly war.”)
Miranda’s faves:
Blue dress: Sister’s Eras Tour relic.
Friendship bracelet: Pool noodles + bling.
Takeaways: Bone bookmarks of spooky covers.
She’s planning a Halloween photobooth for trick-or-treaters — “Joyous Swiftie energy,” she says.
