Channel Taylor Swift’s “Showgirl” Era for Under $150 with These Glam Dorm Room Decor Finds

I couldn’t live without a trinket dish on my nightstand. I rely on it every night to hold my jewelry and hair ties. You could also leave one by your room entrance or on your desk for important items. This orange, sparkly dish is technically for soap, but it’s a perfect size for trinkets and such a beautiful addition to your room, and brings in all the TS12 showgirl vibes.

One of the easiest places to add some themed decor in your room is on your bed with fun pillows. This knot accent pillow is so fun and comfortable to lay on, and the teal color matches the TS12 color scheme perfectly. Plus, it totally looks like a cozy addition a globe-trotting superstar would keep in her greenroom.

Would it be a Taylor Swift room without her iconic hand-heart pose? On the podcast episode announcing The Life of a Showgirl, Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, mentioned the new album is much more upbeat than Swift’s last. She responded by saying, “life is more upbeat,” likely because she wrote these songs while falling in love with Travis. The heart hands in this era’s hue just feel right to commemorate the iconic couple’s love (and, let’s face it, how much you’ll probably love this new album).

If there’s anything consistent across Swift’s eras, it’s a hint of glitter. I love the fact that she is embracing glitter and retro Hollywood in this new era — it wouldn’t feel like her without “making the whole place shimmer,” and this wall art will do exactly that!

A bright coffee table book is such a fun decorative piece, but this “book” doubles as hidden storage. It’s a great place to hold your valuables, while adding a hint of TS12 orange. The album title, The Life of a Showgirl, is a nod to Swift’s life as a performer while traveling the world on the Eras Tour. Although she didn’t tour in Capri, a showgirl is closely associated with the “dolce vita,” as the book says.

This black-and-white newspaper wall art with a “Blank Space” headline gives such showgirl vibes. It’s such a fun piece of decor, and you can tape it up on its own or hang it in a shiny frame. Swift worked on this new album with Max Martin and Shellback, which happen to be the same producers she worked with on 1989. It only feels right to honor that classic album with a showgirl twist!

If you want to see your name in bright lights, these marquee-inspired initials are so fun. If your name is short, it would be so cool to spell out your full name on your desk or a floating shelf. These letters totally fit the glamorous aesthetic.

Of the few images we’ve seen so far, it’s clear Swift has incorporated feathers in this album’s photos to add to the showgirl aesthetic. On the cover of the “It’s Rapturous” edition of The Life of a Showgirl, Swift is posing draped in feathers. This perfect pampas decor find is a practical piece, while still subtly referencing the TS12 vibe.
