Taylor Swift Tarot Cards Give Meaning to Your Beautiful Ghosts

Taylor Swift’s lyrics are an inspiration to many — including myself. Now, we can merge her poetic insights with the magical realm of tarot with The Taylor Tarot decks from creator Kaitlyn Gricar. Find meaning and clarity through lyrics like, “Today is never too late to be brand new” on the Judgement card, or a Strength card that urges, “In your wildest dreams.” The cards can help us understand both life and Taylor Swift on a deeper level.

If you’re anything like me, then you enjoy adding different tarot decks and oracle cards to your bidding collection. (I even created two oracle decks myself.) After years of collecting, I have close to 75 different tarot and oracle decks that I have found in my journeys. I pick the deck I want to use during my readings based on the mood I’m in and what my intuition is telling me. Truthfully, my choice is based on what I’m drawn to that day.

Every deck has different strengths and relevance. The images for each card are based on the interpretation that the author and artist are trying to convey, which is why finding a deck that you totally vibe with is extremely hard. After the intensity of the last few years, I’ve noticed that my clients and myself have wanted to use decks that are fun when reading cards with friends. That’s what inspired my search in the first place and led me to more adorable and entertaining decks — such as this one, a Taylor Swift tarot and oracle set perfect for the fan in your life.

As a Swiftie myself, I was intrigued by the The Taylor Tarot deck I found on Etsy when I was looking for unique decks as holiday gifts. In a twist of fate, I wound up receiving it as a gift before I could purchase the cards for myself. I’ve since been using the deck to articulate every aspect of my life — because if there’s anyone who can understand my desires, will, and soul, that person is Taylor Swift.

As a professional tarot reader, I am extremely impressed with the deck. What makes The Taylor Tarot different from the other decks currently on the market is that each card represents a different image of the iconic singer along with a quote or lyric from her music. The songs align with the meaning of each card. The Chariot, for example, is a card about movement and is represented by Taylor in a car driving away into the sunset with the quote “You were driving away in the getaway car,” a line from her fan-favorite reputation track.

Creator Kaitlyn Gricar is a music teacher by day and Swiftie 24/7, and she tells Teen Vogue that she wanted to create a pop culture deck that was both fun and easy to read. “I started reading and collecting tarot cards at the same time that I got into Taylor Swift’s music and matched up the lyrics to the cards that made sense to each card,” she says. Gricar not only made a black and white tarot deck by hand, but also a companion oracle deck in color. The feedback she’s received has been overwhelmingly positive — both her tarot deck and oracle deck are continuously sold out. Since she makes the art for cards and prints them herself, it’s hard to keep up with the demand from the public. “It’s been a good journey to see people find joy in my art.”

When I used the cards to predict my future, they gave me a clear answer. I asked about the future of a friendship of 10 years that I have wanted to leave since I’ve evolved past it and pulled the Death card: “I’m sorry…but the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now.” After being read for filth by the tarot, I realized that I had to move on. And, the lyrics from “Look What You Made Me Do” did cut deep, but they also gave me a truthful and concrete answer. There is nothing like Taylor Swift’s lyrical poetry to make a person realize how their emotions can lead them to their destiny.
