The ear stack for this shoot was credited as “artists own”, meaning they weren’t sourced by the on-set stylist. This didn’t surprise me in the slightest as most of these earrings were ones we’ve seen Taylor wear before.

The two Maria Tash studs being part of the trio of lobe piercings she added to her ears in August 2023 and the chain stud in her right first lobe piercing she was spotted wearing in October 2023.

These earrings join in the stylist pick of a signet ring by Anna Sheffield, appropriately called the ‘All Seeing’ ring for its eye-like center stone. But also very “Mastermind”, no?

Out and about | New York City, NY | October 14, 2023

Maria Tash ‘Diamond Pear Stud Earring’ – $4,750.00
Maria Tash ‘Invisible Set Diamond Eternity Hoop Earring’ – $1,050.00
Maria Tash ‘Triple Teardrop Marquise Diamond Threaded Stud Earring- $9,800.00

Sometime between Taylor’s final U.S. 2023 dates of the Eras Tour in Los Angeles and her Mexico City dates (specifically the week between August 10 and 17), Taylor added three new lobe piercings to her ears. Two in the right (the pear stud + hoop earring), one in the left (marquise teardrop stud).

I can now happily confirm thanks to the brand that her fresh stack is courtesy of Maria Tash in their yellow gold. The brand does happen to have a piercing studio in NYC and a part of me wonders if she popped in there for some impetuous and fun body mods.

In addition to these additions to her stack, she’s also been playing around recently with temporary ear jewelry – namely a helix cuff that she’s worn in both her left and right ears.

Worn with: Gant coat, Mazin Jewels necklace, Versace corset, Aupen bag, and Greymer sandals

Van Cleef & Arpels ‘Onyx and Diamond Ring’ – $12,000.00

Ita Jewelry ‘Eterno Pavé Ring’ – $1,480.00
Joseph Saidian & Sons vintage diamond necklace’ – $65,000.00
Anita Ko ‘Triangle Eternity Choker’ – $43,574.00

Over the last few candid appearances, we’ve seen Taylor experimenting more with the fine art of a necklace stack and I can’t help but playfully wonder if it was in part a lead up (or inspired by) the layered styling for her MTV VMAs appearance.

The ‘more is more’ approach to accessorizing here is fun to observe, as Taylor doesn’t typically pile it on this excessively for red carpets. But it does up the ‘messy glam’ factor of her gown and mussed, spilling out updo.

Worn with: Versace gown, Foundrae + Jacquie Aiche + vintage bracelets, and Jimmy Choo sandals
