It’s official: Taylor Swift is one of us—a baker with a healthy appreciation for a great food pun. During her debut on Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, she announced her 12th album (out Oct. 3rd, and providing us with a dozen new tracks to play around with). But, equally important, she revealed she’s into “granny sh*t,” with “a different baking obsession every six months.”

Right now, she’s in her sourdough era.

“The sourdough’s taken over my life in a huge way. I’m really talking about bread 60 percent of the time now,” she revealed, adding that as she packages them up, she can’t resist labeling each loaf with a little Swiftian wordplay, based on her own songs.

“It’s crazy how many puns you can make,” she admits, citing a few of her favorites, like “Are you bread-y for it?”

So consider that permission to go all out at your next birthday, shower, bachelorette or just-because party, leaning into the “Florida!!!” singer’s catalog and preparing a few appetizers, treats or drinks rebranded with a delightfully cheesy Taylor Swift-themed food pun.

I started chronicling every Swift-related food I could think of after writing a story last year about hosting a Taylor Swift-inspired Super Bowl party for PureWow. And since I’m a sucker for a themed soiree, I keep expanding this list with new dishes. (Taylor may churn out songs; I churn out…party snacks. Seriously. I got so into snack stadiums that I helped design six-foot-long ones, including one featured on Good Morning America. It’s a bit of a problem.)

From lol-worthy to borderline cringe, here’s every ridiculous Swift-themed app, side, dessert, main and drink idea my friends and I—and now, Swift herself—could come up with (featuring ideas for every era, including The Tortured Poets Department and The Life of a Showgirl). If there’s one I missed, DM me, and I’ll add it!
