The Eras Tour | Lover section | Version 4

Versace custom bodysuit and blazer
Christian Louboutin custom boots

Welcome back to the Eras Tour! After a two-ish month break, Taylor picked up where the US/Mexico dates of the Eras Tour left off at the end of the summer with a rousing first of three shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina – and with it, new costuming!

I’ve mentioned previously that while I suspect the Eras Tour setlist will remain largely the same on all international legs of this tour, that one is never safe from outfit variations. On past tours, Taylor has introduced new versions all throughout the length of a tour.

This particular bodysuit is Version 4 of her opening costuming – and is quite possibly the best (or at least top two for me). This version feels very, “Hi Barbie!” in the very best way. I love the pink shades here that are a great nod to Lover candy coated sunset colouring while still also feeling rich and dramatic.

There’s also a certain wonderful power and confidence in wearing a vivid pink sparkly blazer Elle Woods and Barbie would be proud of to perform “The Man”.

Watching people excel in their given field is always a pleasure and a joy to watch. It’s how I feel seeing Taylor dancing with abandon at awards shows or singing to sold out stadiums of 70,000 people. But it’s also how I feel when I see her step out in fall attire in NYC. What a thrill! She’s always had a special knack for layers and colour palettes, but Taylor really does kill fall dressing. So much so that this latest string of outfits has been a consistent, “Yes I will copy + paste that onto my body” response from me. I’m just a sucker for a good piece of outerwear and an outfit dominated by black.

Speaking of black, two notes on her black accessories here.

Choice of brand is always something that comes to my mind, even when we see Taylor out and about in her daily life. Seeing her wear Versace immediately brings to my mind not only the recent memories of her outing at the MTV VMAs just last week (in classic black and gold Versace) but also me of Versace’s top tier placement in the Eras Tour setlist as part of her opening set. It’s subtle, of course, but I can see how even that simple evocation over into her street style would be a great way to keep top of mind her huge award show sweep and that she’ll be back on her record-breaking global stadium tour in less than two months. The bag itself has such a dreamy shape – love the curves.

The boots, on the other hand, immediately had me do a double take because they are incredibly similar to the ‘Babel’ Louboutins she would wear so often in her early years. Given Taylor’s propensity lately for going back into her clothing archives, that really would have given me a shock. But no, this pair differs by a slightly different heel and a side zip.

The Eras Tour | 1989 section | Version 2

If you follow the TSSQ blog then you know I have an ongoing tag dedicated to me live reacting to Taylor in green. Needless to say that tag was popping off yesterday when Taylor swapped out her original pink co-ord set for the 1989 section of her setlist for this gree(eeeeeeeeeeee)n one. And matching booties, natch.

I don’t think I need to elaborate further that this set is my clear favourite between the two.

Doesn’t she just look like the happiest string bean in green?
