Agolde ‘Criss Cross High Rise Jeans’ – $235.00 $164.00

Taylor is typically trend agnostic when it comes to her style. She largely eschews “it” bags or of the moment silhouettes in favour of pursuing her own thing (in support typically of her latest era).

So it’s very fun (and intriguing) to see Taylor rock trendy 90s-adjacent baggy denim, chunky gold jewelry, and thick sole.

Worn with: The Row boots

Get the look: Abercrombie & Fitch, $59.99

Alberta Ferretti Spring 2023 custom

I don’t think I have to expand to anyone which folklore dress is my favourite now. Taylor wears a (say it with me now) greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen version of this SS23 Alberta Ferretti moment. And it is glorious and wood nymph fairy goddess-worthy of a folklore set.

I really enjoy the addition of the cape so that it slideshows more neatly with the other folklore gowns.

Elie Saab Couture Fall/Winter 2022

For years, I’ve felt myself longing and dreaming of a tour filled with costumes ripped straight from runways. Custom costumes are great and serve a function and a purpose. But nothing hits like couture. In every sense, the Eras Tour feels like a culmination of dreams and fantasies and joy and a career that doesn’t seem like it’s ever truly going to peak. She feels like she’s stretching herself comfortably and confidently into the ever-expanding space her star power is taking up – and it’s a truly beautiful thing to watch her unfurl every night on that stage.

This Elie Saab gown is a big shift from the larger ballgowns she’s worn previously for “Enchanted” – a little more fitted through the waist and bottom. That scooped bateau neck also reminds me of another recent near-off shoulder moment we’ve seen. And what a choice to wear sleeves … in Florida!

I feel of the three “Enchanted” dresses we’ve seen thus far, this one is going to be a bit of a marmite. I personally really like the textured appliqués and beading.

Vintage ‘Stone Harbor Sweatshirt’ – not available for purchase

That Russell Athletic logo could have made this sweatshirt belong anywhere as it’s a go-to piece to superimpose localized embroidery on.

My best guess is that Taylor – ever the nostalgic one – felt a pull towards this one for childhood memories spent on the Jersey Shore.

Worn with: Rouje earrings and Gucci ring

Out to dinner w/ Jack Antonoff | New York City, NY | April 11, 2023

The Row ‘Grais Ribbed Virgin Wool Knit Top’ – $1,115.00
Paco Rabanne ‘1969 Moon Bag’ – $1,600.00
Area ‘Embellished Cut Out High Rise Jeans’ – $673.00
Sam Edelman ‘Jildie Mary Jane Sling Back Heel’ – $139.95

The post-breakup pap walk is a film we’ve seen before in the fandom – but it’s never looked quite this cute. It’s easy for your eye to flit around on this outfit – black and blue denim is a reliable classic that feels easy and simple, but it’s given a hot girl twist. The interplay of silver metallics between her chainmail bag and the butterfly embellished details (and yes, that necklace) (which no, I can’t confirm at the moment) on her jeans also keep a nice repeating motif that makes the outfit flow.

While we’re out here dressing for revenge, this feels like Taylors own take on Di’s precedent thanks to the subtle curvature of the top’s neckline (it’s not just a v neck!). And yes, scene-stealing jewelry included.

The mary jane silhouette feels like a callback to signature Taylor style – she’s long favoured a chunky heeled silhouette like these in the form of an oxford or platform shoe.

Perhaps this is penance for not getting to see the full picture of her Area cut out pants from her previous SNL performance but whatever made it happen – I’m glad it did.

There’s something to me that feels highly symbolic of the butterfly here, not just in its nod to Lover, but of its original concept of rebirth and renewal. If there’s one thing Taylor has done over her career, it’s perfected coming back. Whether that’s from the dead or stronger than a 90s trend.

Get the look: Top, $38.95 / Bag, $39.00 / Jeans, $69.99/ Shoes, $94.99

Taylor Guitars ‘Grand Auditorium Custom Guitar’

This particular guitar I’ve talked about a lot over the years and is the most nostalgic in Taylor’s guitar collection. While this is a new version of it (you can tell by the application of the wood on the guitar’s face), Taylor retained all the signature customizations she made to the koa wood series she owned as a teenager that make it very distinctive as hers including the byzantine inlays on the neck and a Florentine cutaway.
