Elie Saab Fall 2020 Couture

The removal of the feathery appliqué as seen in the lookbook photos was totally the right call here. In terms of silhouette and graduating ‘starburst’ quality of appliqués from the torso this squared off neck and embellished design reminds me most of the V2 Zuhair Murad gown – but made much lighter and frothier and more similar to the original Speak Now Tour Valentino gown thanks to layers and layers of fluffy, ethereal tulle.

Of the four variations of the “Enchanted” dress we have seen, this also brings designer contributor to 2 of 4 with another pull from Elie Saab – a fashion house that Taylor has turned to for many red carpet looks over the years.

Versace bodysuit

The colours and new ombré boots? 13/10.

The exaggerated fringe-y tassels? Less so.

But these Versace bodysuits are truly a work of art – just wish we had stopped while we were ahead.

Versace ‘Crystal Butterflies Chain Necklace’ – $2,250.00

As is befitting of a new Lover bodysuit, Taylor accessorized with a new Versace necklace to match. This one, a co-design collaboration with Versace ambassador Dua Lipa.

I love the colours on this and its interplay with the purple embellishments on her Versace bodysuit. The butterfly motif is a classic nod to the heyday of Versace’s 90s supermodel era – while also referencing her recent #unbothered outing featuring an embellished butterfly on her jeans.

Roberto Cavalli custom
Christian Louboutin custom

Not only do we all get to benefit from Taylor in orange, but it’s also incredibly charming she chose to debut this colour in Florida – a state known for the fruit.

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.

The Eras Tour | Acoustic section

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.

Gibson ‘Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar’ – $3,999.00

During her folklore set, Taylor pulls out one of Gibson’s most distinctive styles – the Hummingbird which is easily recognizable by its graphic pickguard. While she’s had this one in her guitar arsenal since 2012, it doesn’t make many appearances.

Gibson ‘J-45 Acoustic Guitar’ – $2,999.00

Over the course of Taylor’s three hour set, she takes the time to incorporate multiple acoustic moments. Taylor previously played the standard off-the-shelf cherry version of this guitar during the NYC premiere of the “All Too Well” short film. Here, she plays it in a more on-brand maroon finish.

The Eras Tour | Fearless section

Gibson ‘J-180 Acoustic Guitar’

It warms my heart to see a callback to one of Taylor’s previously most famed guitars from the Fearless era.

Back then, the original sparkly guitar was a Taylor Guitars Grand Symphony that also had Swarovski crystals hand glued to it. As we know from behind the scenes tour footage, this Gibson was also hand-customized by talented, highly specialized musical artisans. 😉
