Friday the 13th strikes fear in the hearts of some, but this Friday, October 13, is a day of celebration for Taylor Swift fans (like yours truly). Why? Because that's when Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film arrives in theaters worldwide. (And I just thought you should know, Taylor just announced early access screenings of the film will start to play tonight, October 12!)

Thanks to Swifties, ticket sales for the film have already broken historic records as fans once again start planning their perfect Era Tour outfits and make friendship bracelets so they can relive the magic of the concert on the big screen.

Although you might be clear on what you'll wear, have you thought about what you'll eat? The nearly three-hour concert film, which will no doubt involve a lot of dancing, will require provisions. Lucky for you, I have been thinking a lot about this and have lots of Swiftie-themed snack suggestions.

The Best Snacks to Bring to Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Concert Film

I've gathered 10 snack recipes guaranteed to satisfy every era of Taylor Swift fan. We've got a lavender (haze) almond olive oil cake and a pretty pink fudge that screams "Cruel Summer" as loudly as you can scream that song's epic bridge. Swifties who love classic movie theater snacks can turn to red with Cheetos-crusted chicken fingers and popcorn balls loaded with candy. And forever and always, we can make a batch of Taylor's quintessential fall bake: the chai sugar cookies.

With the lyrics seared in your brain, your outfit on, stacks of friendship bracelets basically cutting off the circulation in your arms and an arsenal of tasty snacks, you're ready to have the time of your life at the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film!

<p>Ragan Wallake</p><p>“Lavender Haze,” but make it a cake. This understated dessert offers just a hint of floral essence from the lavender, and the almonds give it a rich nuttiness. While you don’t necessarily taste the olive oil, it helps the cake stay moist and tender, rounds out the flavor and adds a certain sparkle to this treat.</p><p><strong>Get the recipe:</strong><strong> <a href="https://parade.com/recipes/lavender-almond-olive-oil-cake" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Lavender Almond Olive Oil Cake;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Lavender Almond Olive Oil Cake</a></strong></p>

<p>Teresa Blackburn</p><p>It goes without saying the <em>Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour</em> concert film will not be a seated affair. The crowds of Swifties in movie theaters everywhere will go wild, singing, dancing, crying and swapping friendship bracelets.

<p>Mark Boughton Photography</p><p>A layer cake? To sneak into the movies?! With a dessert that looks this cute and takes little effort (thanks to boxed cake mix), baby just say yes! This version was created for Easter, but you can easily customize each of the four layers to match the color of your favorite Taylor Swift era. I'd personally choose red (for <em>Red</em>), yellow (for <em>Fearless</em>), purple (for <em>Speak Now</em>), and black (for <em>Reputation</em>). </p><p><strong>Get the recipe: </strong><a href="https://parade.com/863670/parade/this-adorable-easter-cake-is-deceptively-easy/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Easter Cake;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link "><strong>Easter Cake</strong></a></p>
