63rd Annual Grammy Awards | Los Angeles, CA | March 14, 2021

Oscar de la Renta ‘Floral Embroidered Tulle Mini Dress’ – $8,990.00

While none of my predictions included a mini (I definitely had an elegant full-length gown in mind for this big night), I did accurately predict the brand so I’ll take a partial win for that. 

My predictions also noted that there was a possibility for the ‘fit to reference Lover, and I definitely think this lush floral dress would not have been out of place during that time. Taylor looks like she walked out of a flower field and the petal pink soft makeup is the perfect complement. 

It’s romantic, it’s whimsical, and while being colourful it still somehow neatly bridges Lover to folklore in a very lovely way. The changes made to it from the original runway presentation include floaty cuffs and a slightly longer hem. 

I could easily see this dress being worn to the AMAs (where Taylor has a stronger history of wearing minis), so while I’m still mentally attached to the concept of a long, elegant and impactful gown, this short and sweet mini as-is is very beautiful and also notably is an appropriate choice given the timeshift of the awards ceremony to be situated more in the springtime. 

Worn with: Cathy Waterman earrings + rings and Christian Louboutin sandals

Get the look: EFINNY dress, $28.99

TAYLOR SWIFT STYLE – GRAMMY PREDICTIONS

Taylor hasn’t attended the Grammys in five very long years. And while her previous absences could be explained away by being in between projects and taking a break from the limelight (2017 and 2018) or being shut out of major award categories (reputation in 2019 and Lover in 2020), with folklore being up for six awards including Album Of The Year it would genuinely shock me if Taylor 1) Didn’t attend and 2) Didn’t have a performance lined up for “cardigan” on music’s biggest night.

The format of the show will likely follow the precedent set by this weekend’s Golden Globes in being a combination of select distanced in-person attendees and virtual appearances and speeches. Just as many celebs opted for glam moments at home, it would  surprise me if for such a major potential moment that Taylor wouldn’t attempt to coordinate with her glam team for a major moment worthy of a red carpet, whether she’s actually standing on one that night or not.

Since Taylor’s last appearance at the Grammys in 2016, she’s released four albums (reputation, Lover, folklore, and evermore) and has had only a handful of red carpet appearances. As a result of this long stretch in between truly glam moments, it’s possible my incredibly high hopes are out of step with reality, but if dreaming of Taylor in couture is wrong I will never willingly choose to be right.

Throughout most of Taylor’s fashion history, she has leaned towards metallics. However, I feel like a bold, bright, single colour statement is long overdue and would be an absolute treat for the eyes. That said, I’ve included a single sparkly gown as insurance.

With that in mind, here we go! 

  • Antonio Grimaldi Spring 2021 Couture
    • I feel like Lover really got the shaft when it comes to appearances so if Taylor wanted to pay belated tribute to the pastel and the pomp and frivolity and fun and everything that era could have been, I feel like this gown sums it up but still makes it elegant and bold. A delicious glossy raspberry lip with a baby pastel pink matte eyeshadow lewk, fluorescent oversized hoops, chunky bauble rings and maybe feather wraparound stilettos should finish off this gown. 
  • Özgür Masur Spring 2021
    • On Taylor’s first big night at the Grammys where she won AOTY (2010) she wore blue. If she’s dressing with intention, this beautiful pearl-accented blue gown would be a beautiful bookend to that moment should she do the inconceivable and win the category for a third time she would be the first woman to do so. Undoubtedly, in slideshows of this momentous milestone in her career, journalists and reporters covering the award will include photographs of that previous instance. A side by side of Taylor in blue gowns, winning the Grammy’s top award over the course of a decade (+1 year) would be so compelling and symbolic of her growth and trajectory as a genre-spanning artist. I’d finish the look with petal pink glossy lips, metallic smoked out eyes, and gunmetal pearl accessories. 
  • Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2021 
    • I genuinely have a good feeling about yellow. And not just because of Blondes In Yellow™ but because it would tie in neatly with Fearless (Taylor’s Version) which also y’know happened to be her very first album that won Album Of The Year. If Taylor did win the category on the 14th for folklore it would shock me if she didn’t reference her re-records project and her quest to regain ownership of her life’s work that has meant everything to her and to be awarded for the first time in the category for an album that she actually owns would underline her re-recording journey and folklore as a work beautifully. I’d actually love to see a strong overly matte red lip and eyeliner look here with maybe a low chignon and velvet black bow in her hair for styling. 
  • Valentino Spring 2021 Couture
    • Sparkles and sequins in a neutral metallic are a Taylor Swift forever trademark. It’s part of her legacy. The looser fit feels appropriate to her current approach to silhouettes and I love the longer sleeves with the off-the-shoulder design. Veronica Lake waves pushed to one side, a plummy lip, and shimmery brown shadow should complete this lewk. And obviously Jimmy Choo patent gold platform sandals.

What do you think Taylor should wear to the Grammys, particularly given how potentially momentous it would be for her?

58th Annual GRAMMY Awards | Los Angeles, CA | February 15, 2016

Atelier Versace dress

It’s no surprise that to end out the Era of the Crop Top, she would go all out for music’s biggest night in this bold and vibrant bandeau and maxi skirt by Versace.

My initial impression was “Malibu Barbie Anna Wintour”

What came shortly after was me thinking that I came this||close to predicting an extremely similar silhouette by J. Mendel. And my third impression was HAH. I finally landed a correct brand guess from my prediction post!

Overall, I love that she went for it in terms of colour (no metallics! yay!) but would have preferred the skirt in a different colour + cut and different material as the fuchsia and sheen of the skirt are both giving me hard no vibes. As is, it’s like her last year’s Elie Saab gown got given a new colour treatment and slashed at the waist.

Worn with: Ofira + Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Stuart Weitzman sandals

Elie Saab Spring 2015

The first word that came to the mind of many I’m sure was “mermaid” upon seeing Taylor’s ombre teal coloured Elie Saab gown created from a sheenlike fabric that emulated the shimmer of water. 

I love the construction of the dress and the dramatic folds on the skirt, plus the colour is absolutely divine on Taylor. My favourite aspect would likely be the straps as they emulate the wraparound leather straps on Taylor’s 2009 Grammys Kaufmanfranco gown that remains to be one of my favourites she has worn to this event. 

It probably won’t go down as one of my favourite looks from Taylor, but I can appreciate her continued love of mixing unique colour palettes for an unexpected twist as the presence of those fuchsia Giuseppe Zanotti’s undoubtedly make the look as interesting and unique as it is — as does the somewhat-no-longer-trendy mullet/high-low gown. 

Had the gown been a full-length in its entirety and a simpler pair of strappy sandals (my preferred choice) been worn I think I would have loved it more. But styling it the way it is presented gives it those interesting talking points and the statement I’m sure Taylor intended.

Worn with: Lorraine Schwartz + Ofira jewels and Giuseppe Zanotti heels
