Viral Halloween Display: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Skeletons Turn Heads in Zionsville
A Halloween display featuring life-sized skeletons of popstar Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has taken the town of Zionsville, and even the internet, by storm. The striking display, created by Zionsville resident Michal Owens, quickly gained attention after she shared a TikTok video of the spooky spectacle. To her surprise, the video went viral, racking up an impressive 363,600 views and 119,000 likes.
According to Owens, her family has a deep love for Halloween, but they prefer to keep it fun and clever rather than scary and gory. This year, they decided to pay tribute to popular culture icons, and the idea of creating the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce skeletons came to fruition. The display stands at a towering height of 12 feet and exhibits Swift’s recognizable blue dress along with Kelce’s Chiefs jersey. It has become a popular spot for locals and passersby to snap pictures, bringing joy to children and adults alike.
We have a big yard, so when we bought our house, we decided to do a skeleton display every year rather than decorate the whole house, Owens revealed. In the past, they have demonstrated their creativity with different themes, such as a milk crate challenge and a family of skeletons taking selfies. They aim to bring smiles and fun to the community, especially the children who pass by on school buses.
The TikTok video’s unexpected popularity surprised Owens, who admitted her lack of familiarity with the platform. I am old, and I don’t know how to use TikTok, she humorously admitted. Nevertheless, the success of the video allowed her family’s Halloween creation to gain widespread attention. Owens welcomes visitors to take pictures with the skeletons, but she emphasizes the importance of safety and requests that people park in their driveway to do so.
Zionsville’s Halloween display has captured the hearts and interest of people both locally and beyond. By incorporating popular figures like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Michal Owens has created an eye-catching and celebratory attraction that adds to the festive spirit of the season. With its viral success, this creative and fun-filled display is sure to inspire others to embrace their own unique Halloween traditions.
