Cue a mashup of Love Story x Kabira. The most-awaited day on every Indian Swiftie’s calendar – Taylor Swift’s engagement to American football star Travis Kelce – deserves a big fat fairytale Indian wedding celebration. She is, after all, the biggest, most fabulous pop icon out there. The good folk at Saddi Galli are doing just that with a Taylor Swift engagement -themed fake sangeet in Mumbai this September, having already proven you can be enchanted at a wedding without a bride or groom present!
The Pheraas Tour — Taylor Swift Engagement Party
Called The Pheraas Tour (100/10 for wordplay), this spoof sangeet on September 13 is Fearless in its reimagining of what Taylor Swift had a destination sagai in India. Of course, it’s a sangeet – the ultimate Indian engagement party. Expect shaadi dhol and Bollywood wedding anthems such as Gallan Goodiyan, London Thumakda and more mixed in with every Taylor Swift chart-topper from Blank Space, You Belong With Me, Our Song and Long Live to shake it off to, thanks to DJ OnePlusOne Music.
Like any typical Indian wedding, the decor will exude opulence, glamour and be wholeheartedly extra. Just like the Eras Tour’s fairytale stages. Here’s what you should keep your eyes open for. Every corner of the venue (still undecided) takes inspiration from a Taylor era with a Bollywood twist, turning into the ultimate photobooths. Genda phool blossoms will reflect the Red album, neon and disco balls recreate 1989’s vibes, while Folklore’s rustic charm comes alive with candles and phoolon ki chadar.
The Taylor treatment extends to the food and drinks, too. You’ll sip on Lavender Haze Lassi, gobble down Teardrops on My Gulab Jamun, and nibble on scrumptious bites at the Karma Chaat Corner. Baraatis will get a free drink (beer/mocktail) with every ticket. And of course, like every fake sangeet party, the dress code is Indian wedding drip only. Unless you show up in a Swiftie costumes like purple ball gowns and glittery bodysuits.
Go on, get those tickets to the ultimate spook Taylor Swift engagement party and make your wildest dreams come true!
