Halloween is here at Live with Kelly and Mark.

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos held their annual dress-up event to celebrate the spooky holiday on Thursday on their morning talk show.

The “Halloween Only in the Building” special featured a variety of pop culture-related costumes.

Ripa, 54, and Consuelos, 53, began the episode dressed as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce respectively, with the latter couple attending the US Open last month.

Ripa donned Swift’s red and white plaid dress and paired it with black oval sunglasses and brown sandals.

Consuelos wore a Kelsey polo shirt, cardigan and beige shorts, along with a Gucci bucket hat. He completed the look with a false mustache.

Before the episode, Ripa and Consuelos teased their Taylor and Travis-inspired costume.

“Nobody is less emotional about Taylor than I am,” Ripa admitted to USA Today. “I’ve known Taylor Swift since she was a teenager and first appeared on our show many, many, many years ago. And she was on our show many times, and in every era of her life. She’s just as charming and divine and amazing and everything you thought she was all these years.”

She added: “I can’t convey the essence of it in a very short clip of her dancing at the US Open, but I did my best to at least not embarrass her for both of our sakes.”

In the next segment, Ripa and Consuelos transformed into Lady Deadpool and Deadpool while interviewing Joey Fatone, who dressed as Wolverine. The trio paid tribute to Deadpool and Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

Later, Ripa and Consuelos showed off their best musical talents, channeling Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars from their new song “Die with a Smile.” They wore matching blue and red outfits and attempted to perform a song together.

The couple then dressed up as the Joker and Harley Quinn from the Joker sequel, which flopped at the box office. They both wore full face makeup and red jackets, imitating DC characters Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix.

They stayed in their Joker 2 costumes while several spectators competed in a Halloween contest.

Ripa and Consuelos also dressed up as characters from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Inside Out 2 and Only Murders in the Building during the special.

Ripa compared her annual Halloween special to hosting Saturday Night Live.

“I hosted ‘SNL’ once in my life, and I always say that our Halloween show is the closest thing to hosting ‘SNL’ that you can get,” she told USA Today. “You go out, do the opening part of the live performance, and then go into the taped piece. You run backstage while this taped play plays and then there’s a commercial break. You have a taped segment and two minutes to change your hair, makeup, wardrobe, costume and everything else. You have a very short period of time to go back and do the next segment. That’s how the show goes.”

“Live with Kelly and Mark” airs weekdays on ABC at 9 a.m. ET.
