The Eras Tour | Acoustic section

Jessica Jones custom

It’s nice in a lot of ways that this tender, stripped down moment in Taylor’s set that’s dedicated entirely to her roots as a singer-songwriter brings with it two very familiar names.

The first being Taylor Guitars, the instrument brand that Taylor first entered the scene playing. This particular 6-string features the same koa wood that was her signature as a teenager, in addition to some byzantine inlays and a Florentine cutaway — just as her first guitars from this brand had.

The second, of course, being the wonderful Jessica Jones who was Taylor’s main costumer for both the 1989 and reputation Tours. I had noted that this was the one outfit of her entire tour wardrobe that stood out the most to me as unlike the others – and now we know why. It’s a joy to see her credited again as part of Taylor’s tour.

You’ll also notice in these shots the sparkle of her Roberto Cavalli two piece, worn during the previous 1989 section. It’s another smart move when it comes to efficient layered dressing for quick changes as Taylor can simply pop this dress on top of her clothes – coordinated to be tonally consistent – and the ruffled slit still means the sparkles get to catch the light on stage.

It’s brilliant.

Artist Of the Decade performance | Los Angeles, CA | November 24, 2019

Joseph Cassell x Jessica Jones custom ensemble

Taylor’s all gold strappy ensemble (including the pink cape worn later during her piano set) were custom created by her stylist and go-to costume designer Jessica Jones. 

Sequinned, gold, with a hint of fringe and some fun strap detailing — all very anticipated but still lovely characteristics of a Taylor performance ensemble. 

Worn with: Nouvel Jewelry earrings + EF Collection/Dru Jewelry/Kat Kim rings and Marc Fisher boots

Jessica Jones custom shorts

Jessica’s continued presence as part of Taylor’s performancewear seems to be a good indicator to me that we will continue to see her designs (likely in addition to Stella McCartney’s) on the upcoming Lover Tour. 

Worn with: Helmut Lang blouse, Wolford bodysuit, and Rene Caovilla boots

Get the look: Boohoo, $36.00 $18.00

“You Need To Calm Down” music video | June 17, 2019

Jessica Jones x Joseph Cassell custom 

While I had imagined that Taylor’s fries costume would have been created by Moschino, the creator behind the burger look that Katy Perry had originally debuted at this year’s Met Gala, it was actually crafted by Taylor’s own stylist and long-time costume designer Jessica Jones. 

Officially, it’s nice to see that the two of them have put fries before guys. 

Worn with: Opening Ceremony x Buffalo London sandals

iHeartRadio Wango Tango | Carson, CA | June 1, 2019

Joseph Cassell/Jessica Jones custom ensemble

As has been the case for all her performance outfits, Taylor’s rainbow burst latest was from the mind of Jessica Jones — this time in close partnership with Taylor’s stylist Joseph. 

While I love the commitment to making a statement at the outset of Pride Month, I would have personally opted for the fringe rainbow jacket and perhaps a pair of high waisted white denim. As-is, it feels like it veers far too strongly into a cheesy Crayola wonderland. 

But if I could only make two changes it would be to 1) Remove the lace up corsetry detail. Which, in my opinion, was much better employed in this svelte and intentionally sexy reputation-era look during last year’s Biggest Weekend performance. Rendered in this technicolour palette and paired with a basic tee feels off-putting and incongruous. 2) Change those chunky sneakers for her go-to pair of custom Stuart Weitzmans Niki boots. I’ve never been a fan of the latest clunky sneaker trend. 

Worn with: Stella McCartney sneakers

FYI: Brendon Urie is wearing a Donna Karan ‘Pride’ tee ($39.50) during the concert.

The Voice (France) | May 25, 2019

Jessica Jones custom romper

Breaking her pink and blue tradition, Taylor opted for a tinsel-esque purple romper for her appearance on The Voice in France. I’m still appreciative of the updo, bangs, and wispy hair pieces. The volume up top is also almost Bardot-like. 

Worn with: Stuart Weitzman boots
