PREDICTION: LEGO TAYLOR SWIFT WILL BECOME A FUTURE LEGO IDEAS SET
LEGO Ideas has announced its second LEGO Review for 2023, with 49 product ideas eligible to become a future LEGO Ideas set after reaching 10,000 votes.
Looking at the 49 product ideas, there is one clear and resounding theme: Taylor Swift-inspired with five entries in this round alone.
While there are a lot of great entries this round (we think SleepyCow's WORKING LEGO BICYCLE and Daytona's TROJAN HORSE have a good chance of making the cut), we predict that LEGO will greenlight a Taylor Swift set through LEGO Ideas.
A small-scale recreation of the iconic 'Lover House' from Taylor Swift's Lover Music Video released in 2019. The Lover House is loved by fans for its color-coded rooms that represent the color themes of Taylor Swift's albums. Following the release of her 10th studio album and in the midst of re-recording her old albums, Taylor Swift announced a tour themed around her 10 different "eras" for her 10 studio albums.
After this, the Lover House had returned to Taylor's promotion, three years after it appeared in the Lover music video, to promote merchandise for all ten of her albums, allowing fans to get merchandise for their favorite Taylor Swift albums, further cementing its reputation . Lover House's significance beyond the music video as a symbol for her collection of albums and eras.
With a total of 1653 pieces, the set is designed to be small to keep piece counts and costs low while retaining as much detail of each room in the set as possible. Each room is designed so that the house can be built modularly, with each room being a separate smaller structure that can easily be assembled into the entire house or displayed separately. This also allows builders to build together with friends or family, each choosing their favorite rooms to build. I wanted to allow for a fun and easy build process and a cheap cost to make the set for as many people as possible, for Taylor Swift fans who may have never built a set before or who can't afford a large set.
The set also includes a Taylor Swift minifigure wearing a pink outfit, as she does in many parts of the Lover Music Video. This set is a celebration of Taylor Swift's ten albums and the achievements she has made throughout her career.
