STYLE , SORTED
Out and About in New York City
Me: Touches down in Kansas City MO, calls the amateurs, and cuts them from the team. Taylor: Is frolicking about NYC.
Chiefs vs Saints in Kansas City
Taylor’s game day fashion expands on her signature style with some “Chief” M.O.’s to soften her presence (as much as one can when you are Taylor Swift, main character of the universe).
Attending Her Cousin’s Wedding
Taylor recently attended the wedding of one of her cousins wearing a dress from a new-to-her brand: Montsand. The dress features a whimsical, woodland scene (omg folklore [Taylor’s Version]?!).
An Official Red Lipstick Confirmation!
Taylor’s longtime makeup artist, Lorrie Turk, is often tight lipped about the lip products she likes to use on Taylor - though we have gotten a number of confirmations of her favourites over the years.
Out and About in New York City
Clowning and egging (and bears - oh my!) aside this feels like a very classic Fall Taylor ‘fit. A knit crop, a pleated plaid mini, and boots are an easy, seasonal uniform.
Chiefs vs Bengals in Kansas City
Round two of season two of National Sportsball Observation. Last year, Taylor developed a reliable style playbook when it came to her game day fashion: women-owned/locally-owned brands, sentimental accessories, and vintage.
Attending an After Party in NYC
It isn’t all that surprising that Taylor would tap Monse for some of her looks. The two designers at the helm, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, first met when they were working together at Oscar de la Renta - one of Taylor’s longstanding favourite brands.
MTV Video Music Awards II
A brief moment of pride for me because I happened to predict a different look from this exact same collection for the MTV VMAs. I’ll take the win!
MTV Video Music Awards
All-in, this felt like a cohesive night of looks to underpin TTPD’s aesthetic. The runway’s interplay of proportions and bustier-like top are very TTPD - sensual, emboldened, playing with what to reveal and what to hide.
Attending the US Open in New York City
While some wondered if Taylor would appear at any NYFW shows this week, a sporty outing to watch a fellow American Taylor (Fritz) in the US Open final is just as fun. And such great symmetry!
Out and About in New York City
Someone got a haul of Gucci recently and decided to wear it all in one fell weekend. It’s not uncommon for Taylor to be brand loyal and to wear a slew of things from a single designer many times over, consecutively.
Attending a Wedding in New York City
On this occasion, Taylor wasn’t heading into Electric Lady for a session - but for a wedding! With Travis as +1, the two were guests to the nuptials of model Karen Elson and Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster.
Out and About in New York City, NY
Taylor has often gone back to an all black look for dinner nights out. And who can blame her. I lean on all black all the time when I want to feel polished and chic.
Chiefs vs Ravens in Kansas City
Touchdown - she’s back. Many wondered how Taylor’s style playbook would shift (if at all) for “National Sportsball Observation”: Season Two.
“I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” Music Video
After a lot of staring, my current suspicion (based on UO being one of Taylor’s longtime favourite brands for personal, casual wear) is that Taylor is wearing one of Urban’s cropped plaid shirts.
The Eras Tour | Midnights | v5
As I’ve noted throughout the tour, one should expect the unexpected when it comes to new costumes. As in, they can happen at any time in any city at any time.
The Eras Tour | Fearless | v5
Many may have noticed a recent accessory addition to the Tortured Poets costuming on the Eras Tour: a sleek pair of triple dart leather gloves. The addition comes as a functional fix to combat chilly temperatures on this particular stretch of dates in the United Kingdom.
The Eras Tour | TTPD Dress | v2
Taylor first debuted the Tortured Poets section when she kicked off the European leg of the Eras Tour in Paris. I had wondered aloud when/if we would see alternate versions of this dress with other TTPD lyrics scrawled across it.
The Eras Tour | TTPD Gloves
Many may have noticed a recent accessory addition to the Tortured Poets costuming on the Eras Tour: a sleek pair of triple dart leather gloves. The addition comes as a functional fix to combat chilly temperatures on this particular stretch of dates in the United Kingdom.
Out and About in London
Ever inexhaustible, Taylor finished her three show stint at Wembley last night (she’s set to return there for five more Eras shows in August) and proceeded to head straight from the stage and out into London to celebrate.
