Not at the yogurt shop like in 'Invisible Strings', Taylor Swift's favorite candy is not a typical American treat. Instead, a charming British delight called Squashies. These raspberry and cream gummies are more than just candy to the 'Red' singer, but “legit candy,” as she joyfully declared in a 2019 interview while on the press tour for Cats. She praised their soft, chewy texture and fruity blend, noting how they stood apart from everyday sweets. The infatuation even became a behind-the-scenes memory when Dame Judi Dench surprised her with packs of Squashies during filming, a thoughtful gesture that clearly hit a sweet note.

Finding Squashies is like hunting for a rare vinyl in the candy world. These gems originate from the British brand Swizzels and have a marshmallow-like texture paired with a gummy chewiness that fans rave about. In the United States, you can often find them under the Smarties name, available online or at trendy discount stores like Five Below. For snacking like Taylor Swift, keeping an eye on these spots might be the best bet to snag the superstar’s top sweet pick.
