My obsession with the persona of Taylor Swift may border on parasocial, but my obsession with making Taylor Swift Charcuterie Boards is not. I absolutely love to make themed cheese boards, desserts, and cocktails all based on her lyrics, albums, and Swiftie Easter Eggs.
If you’re having a Taylor Swift Party or a football party or even a movie night, this easy charcuterie board idea is going to bring smiles to the faces of everyone – celebrate the tour, the docuseries or all things Taylor Swift by making this delicious – and easy – appetizer.
