I tried the Taylor Swift-inspired $6 'Lavender Haze' drink from Starbucks' secret menu it was too sweet and overpowering, so this Swiftie won't be ordering it again

Ahead of the music video's release, Swift took to Twitter to credit "Lavender Haze" with helping her "conceptualize the world and mood of Midnights." In her tweet, she described the video as a "sultry sleepless '70s fever dream."

In the video, Swift is joined by costar and love interest Laith Ashley, a trans model and actor, according to Them. The dream-like video is filled with cool purple- and blue-hued visuals.

After the video was released, the cool tones and song's doting lyrics inspired some fans to give the song its own Starbucks drink.

I customized my order to have coconut milk instead of soy milk, and some users suggested removing the water from the recipe, so I did.

Because I ordered a grande, a size smaller than the recipe called for, I only asked for three pumps of vanilla — which still ended up being plenty sweet.

The drink's pink and purple color was the most fun part of the experience for me. As far as taste goes, the "Lavender Haze" drink had a candy-like flavor. I was disappointed that the drink didn't remind me of the lavender lattes I've had in the past. Instead of floral notes, this tea is heavily dessert-inspired.

I did, however, enjoy the creamy texture that the coconut milk added. In the future, I might opt for the "Lavender Haze" beverage without the added vanilla syrup.

The dessert-like quality of the Starbucks secret menu item was nice in the beginning, but was far too sweet to finish.

I do, however, like this take on a milk-based tea more than the popular "Pink Drink" that rose to fame in 2016. The "Pink Drink" is a strawberry acai refresher with coconut milk instead of water.

The "Lavender Haze" drink has a more subtle flavor than the popular "Pink Drink," which Delish notes is reminiscent of a pink Starburst.

Even if I'm not in a hurry to drink another "Lavender Haze" tea from Starbucks, I can appreciate the similarity between the sweet, creamy drink and Swift's sugary single.

It's worth noting that Swift hasn't officially signed off on this purple beverage, but I think the singer would appreciate the berry notes and fun hue. The vanilla syrup adds a cupcake-like flavor to the drink, and the similarities to comfort food also reminded me of the song's warmth.
