Taylor Swift, Time’s Person of the Year for 2023, is everywhere — including consumer goods packaging.
Swift’s appearance, together with her music, are key elements in her personal brand. Thus, her image and lyrics factor prominently in the package graphics for Swift’s own merch and for a select group of Taylor Swift-inspired products.
“Taylor has built a clear and defined visual brand over her career that she brings to life across her album artwork, merchandise product design, and overall aesthetic,” says Patrick Llewellyn, CEO of 99designs by Vista.
“There is also a tangible effort to maintain premium, high-quality packaging across [Swift’s] catalog,” he adds. “It elevates her products into coveted, almost collector’s item pieces for Swifties to treasure.”
Start the slideshow to see how the artist’s packaging team and others with Swift-related products, such as perfume and soap, infuse the essence of the artist into their package designs.
