This stunning ballgown is an architectural feat and gives us a very strong throwback to Taylor’s Valentino ballgown on the Speak Now Tour.

I audibly gasped when I first saw photos of this asymmetrical bodysuit.

As a former dancer myself who’s done a chair dance, I respect and feel a kinship towards Taylor challenging herself with more intricate and highly choreographed numbers on this tour. It’s even more impressive when you consider that the number appears on the tour’s final section of a three hour show.

It’s of zero surprise to me that this ruffled, tie-front dress that Taylor wears for the evermore section on tour is by Etro.

This is Taylor Swift at her most classic for the stage - a fringed, sparkly dress and boots. It doesn’t get more staple than that.

Another moment where a throwback to previous style was going to be an easy win. There’s nothing like a matching crop top and skirt with sparkle booties to evoke the 1989 Tour.

Welcome to The Eras Tour, everyone. Here, we begin a comeback tour where we seemingly last left off: With not only the first album under Taylor’s new record contract that she owns but that also had its live iteration cancelled.

This mauve-toned, chiffon gown mixes bohemian elements thanks to its ruffles and flutter sleeves and lace with very subtle stage-worthy embellishments. Well done.

Taylor employs an old dancers trick to get her legs looking the way they do on stage - double layering tights.

If you were wondering why this outfit worked so seamlessly to mimic the high waisted shorts of the RED Era, it’s because Taylor’s red ombre bodysuit (worn underneath here) were designed perfectly to look like a regular pair of shorts.

It’s nice in a lot of ways that this tender, stripped down moment in Taylor’s set that’s dedicated entirely to her roots as a singer-songwriter brings with it two very familiar names.

It’s a very Taylor outfit that plays with layering, interesting colour combinations, and schoolgirl accents (which checks the boxes for a lot of her street style moments).

While we again don’t quite know which song this get up is for, what we do know is the makeup was done by Pat McGrath - just as it was for the night Taylor announced Midnights at the MTV VMAs.

The back cover and official tracklisting of Taylor’s first re-recorded album is here. On the back, she wears a shirred, lace-trim button up from one of her favourite brands: Free People. 

Taylor’s beautiful rich performance gown for her folklore/evermore medley at the 2021 Grammys is a custom fil coupé chiffon gown with paisley motifs and lace ruffles by Etro.

I love Taylor’s entire hair and beauty look here! So laidback and free, and the bright pop of colour from her spring coral Keds offsets those tanned legs perfectly.

Oh how I’d love to see this photo in colour and from a different angle. I love the illusion neck and subtle drape of this sweater. 

Many, many, many more thoughts to come later. But for now … I’m just breathless.

I almost got a brief Faith Connexion vibe from this dress given the waist-tie detail which was so common amongst those pieces back in the reputation days. But, of course, this is another FP piece for Taylor. 

As I personally suspected upon seeing the images, according to an article via People, Taylor styled herself — hair and makeup included.
