The New Orleans Queen of Halloween is back, and this year, her Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce skeletons are saying, "I do."
Louellen Berger, the New Orleans homeowner behind the famed "Skeleton House" on St. Charles Avenue, has once again outdone herself with a Swift-inspired Halloween display. Last year's viral "Terror Swift: The scEras Tour" honored the superstar's record-breaking concert tour coming to the Caesar's Superdome. The skeletal tribute drew thousands of visitors to the Berger family's yard. This October, Berger revived her boney models for an encore and added a nod to Swift's engagement.
"Frankly, we were in Ireland when we heard the proposal heard around the world," Berger said. "I wasn't even going to put out all the Taylors again this year. But when she announced her new album was coming in October, I said, 'Bless you, sweet child. I'm putting all of y'all out again.'"

The resulting tableau, dubbed "Thank You for the scEras Tour," features 11 skeletons decked out from "Fearless" to "Tortured Poets." Next to the banner of ghouls is a tongue-in-cheek centerpiece winking to her 12th era: "The Afterlife of a Showgirl." Berger printed out the album cover, which depicts Swift in a bathtub, and put a skeleton mask on top.
