Swifties and Starbucks feel like an oddly natural pairing, especially when the drink order itself is part of the appeal.
When I first noticed the Starbucks connection around Taylor’s drink, I wanted to check the order for myself. The Lavender Haze fan drink was the other one that caught my attention, mostly because the name sounded more dramatic than the recipe.
Here, you’ll find what Taylor’s Latte is and how the Lavender Haze is usually ordered.
Key takeaways
What is the ‘Taylor’s Latte’ at Starbucks?
Released in November of 2021, Taylor’s Latte was part of a collaboration between Taylor Swift and Starbucks to commemorate the re-release of the ‘Red’ album and its songs.
It also coincides with Starbucks’ red cup season, which gives it a more festive feel.
This delicious drink can be ordered at all times (not just during the red season) and in all Starbucks locations – though it’s more widely known in the United States.
Taylor’s Latte is basically a grande caramel nonfat latte, which is the drink most people mean when they talk about her go-to order.
Ingredients
The ingredients are simple, but I was surprised by how much the milk choice changes the drink.
In a grande size, it’s essentially a latte made with four pumps of caramel syrup and nonfat milk.
If you’d like, you can also customize the drink by making it with a lighter roast ( Starbucks blonde espresso ) or more or less caramel.
Nutritional information
For a grande size, the drink has a total of 190 calories with 0 grams of fat, 37 grams of carbs, and 12 grams of protein.
How to order Taylor Swift’s Latte Starbucks Drink
To order it in store, I’d just ask for a ‘Taylor’s Latte’ and spell out the details if needed.
That usually gets you to the right drink quickly, especially if the barista is already familiar with the name.
On the Starbucks app, I usually have to build the customizations myself, since the nickname alone may not be enough.
Once that’s set, add it to your order and you have the caramel nonfat latte version people mean when they talk about Taylor’s drink.
If you order it in November, close to the festive season, you can also sip on this delicious drink in one of the Starbucks festive red cups – don’t forget to also make it the ultimate Red season by listening to her album while you do so.
What is the ‘Lavender Haze’ drink?
Inspired by Taylor Swift’s song, fans created a Lavender Haze drink, and the lavender color is part of the appeal.
To order this drink, you’ll simply be asking for an iced passion tea with a splash of soy milk – or any other plant-based milk of choice (I chose oat milk!). You’ll then ask for an additional six pumps of vanilla syrup for the Venti size.
The first thing I noticed was the color. The combo gives the drink a lavender tint that makes it feel a little more playful than a regular latte.
Taste-wise, it’s fairly sweet and leans dessert-like, which is probably why it stood out to me so quickly.
If that sweetness feels like too much, the recipe can be adjusted by changing the syrup or cup size.
Even without the vanilla syrup, the drink can still keep that lavender look, depending on how it’s made.

Conclusion - Try her fave drink today!
So that’s the basic picture: Taylor’s Latte is the simpler order, while Lavender Haze is the fan-made one people look up for the color and sweetness.
In practice, the main limit is usually whether your local store can make the custom order.
I still like pairing a coffee post like this with one of Taylor Swift’s songs. It makes the whole order feel a little more on-theme.
