She dressed as a winged unicorn, or as she called it in [an Instagram post](http://instagram.com/p/u0NiOLjvCC/ "undefined"), a “pegacorn.” For those who don’t know, pegacorn is a portmanteau of “pegasus” and “unicorn.” Tay-Tay’s been super busy this week, so props to her for still finding the time to dress up and celebrate the holiday. We can only assume she also found time to bake some Halloween-themed goodies for her besties. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3551743/taylor-swift-halloween-costume-pegacorn/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3551743/taylor-swift-halloween-costume-pegacorn/"},"headline":"Today Was a Fairytale for Taylor Swift, Who Dressed as a Winged Unicorn for Halloween","datePublished":"2014-10-31T20:17:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:15.615Z","description":"Or as she calls it, a pegacorn","url":"https://time.com/3551743/taylor-swift-halloween-costume-pegacorn/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Taylor Swift","celebrity","1989 topic","halloween"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt82f3ea2da662d875/698763c4cd1bbaa31f6f2f1c/458167178.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt82f3ea2da662d875/698763c4cd1bbaa31f6f2f1c/458167178.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Taylor Swift Visits \"The Elvis Duran Z100 Morning Show\"","caption":"Taylor Swift Visits \"The Elvis Duran Z100 Morning Show\"","creditText":"Kevin Mazur— Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3551743/taylor-swift-halloween-costume-pegacorn/","name":"Today Was a Fairytale for Taylor Swift, Who Dressed as a Winged Unicorn for Halloween"}}]}] ```
