This fun treat will definitely be every guests’ fave. These nachos are so sweet that they will clearly remind everyone of Maroon 5’s catchy song. The cookies are a fun twist on classic nachos and are extremely easy to make.

Obviously to represent Kelly Clarkson’s killer song, heart-shaped macarons are the way to go. Definitely a more complicated recipe, which is only fitting for the elaborate song. If these cookies turn out well, they’ll look professional.

Thinking Out Loud: Guacamole

What could possibly resemble Ed Sheeran’s chart-topper that was nominated three times? A simple guac recipe. After all, they do have the same color schemes since the album cover is bright green. This song and this guac are both refreshing and relaxing.

Though these look plain and simple, just as the title of Taylor’s song seems, they taste amazing. This dessert even looks like a “blank space.” You really can never go wrong with combining chocolate and peanut butter, and with only 5 ingredients, they are super easy to make. What could be better? These bars will easily be as much of a hit as Blank Space was.

Yup, you read that right. This is 100% a thing. People will not be able to keep their hands off of this insane dessert. By the time everyone is done devouring these, they’ll be so cold they literally won’t be able to feel their face.

Because this is what true love tastes like. Pizza is always a fave so put a twist on the classic by making these homemade Hot Pockets. Not only do these require absolutely no cooking skills to make, but they are crazy easy for everyone to eat.

Bad Blood was nominated for both “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” and “Best Music Video.” To honor the song quite literally, red brownies will do the trick. Instead of just a plain red velvet cake, change it up by making these red velvet cheesecake brownies. Taylor and her Bad Blood squad would definitely approve.

Just as ex’s and oh’s are something that are so normal and used in everyday life, these cheese straws are a different take on a classic snack. Basically just Cheez-Its for grown-ups.
