This holiday season, one Taylor Swift superfan has taken “Swift-mas” to the next level with a Christmas tree that’s truly Taylor-made. 

Manhattanite Molly Swindall has every single one of the 103 ornaments the pop icon has ever released, all proudly displayed on a single tree.

The Ultimate Swiftie Collection

Swindall began her journey to fill the “Blank Space” on her Christmas tree in 2020 and has since amassed every ornament Swift has released, even managing to snag 34 in a single year. “Some of them sell out in minutes,” she told The Post. “But I’ve purchased every ornament she’s ever released, even if it means buying multiples in one year.”

Molly Swindall decorated her tree

This year alone, Swindall added 18 new ornaments to her collection, ranging from $20 to $25 each, all strategically purchased through Swift’s official website. The Georgia native has even traded ornaments with other fans to ensure her collection remains complete. “It’s not really my tree; it’s the fandom’s tree,” she gushed.

Live Decorating for 20,000 Fans

The 7.5-foot spruce, too large to fit in Swindall’s Manhattan apartment, now stands tall in her childhood home. Decorating it has become an annual tradition she shares with her fellow Swifties. This year, 20,000 fans tuned in to watch her live TikTok session as she carefully unboxed and placed each ornament, ranging from mini guitars and tiny records to cowboy hats and disco balls.

“It’s the third year I’ve done it, and there are fans who’ve been there every year,” she said. Among her treasures, the first ornament Swift ever released—a ceramic replica of the singer—is her favorite. Swindall tracked it down at a UK-based Swiftie shop for $62.

A Lifetime of Taylor Memories

Swindall’s dedication to Swift goes beyond ornaments. She’s attended 54 of the singer’s concerts and even met her in 2007 when Swift was an opening act for Brad Paisley. “It was such a special moment. She was so kind, so sweet, and it made me a Swiftie for life,” she recalled.

This year, her ever-growing “Swift-mas” tree took up residence in her sister’s childhood bedroom, much to her sibling’s surprise. “She walked in and was like, ‘What the heck is in my room?’” Swindall said with a laugh.

With her collection complete—for now—Swindall’s tree is not just a testament to her love for Taylor Swift but a celebration of the bond between the star and her fans.
