Midnights Mayhem with Me | October 5, 2022

Thanks Kelly!

Garland ‘70s Stroller Sweater Set’ – no longer available

One of the most hotly requested items from the Midnights era was Taylor’s outfit worn while cheekily announcing the title of the song “Karma”. I had long suspected that a lot of missing pieces were vintage – which this striped burnout ringer tank is! But not only is it vintage, it’s actually circa the 70s which has been a strong consistent aesthetic theme for Midnights.

Taylor has always loved vintage clothes (hello, RED [2012]). But for me this specificity and attention to detail feels very touching and fun. It reminds me of Taylor’s decision to source and only use instruments for “Carolina” that were made in the time period the book is set in.

“Bejeweled” music video | October 25, 2022

Michael Schmidt Studios custom ensemble

To create this look (a favourite of mine from the video), thousands of Swarovski crystals were placed and sewn by hand to a black base. Her knee-high boots also received the same treatment for a matching head-to-toe ‘bejeweled’ moment.

The Graham Norton Show | October 28, 2022

David Koma gown

Taylor’s black sleeveless column appears to borrow a print from the brand’s Resort 2023 collection. In terms of dressing for a seated televised interview moment, this feels like an improvement over her Jimmy Fallon appearance.

The black is subdued but the embellishments add just the right amount of elegant sparkle. The skimming silhouette of the gown extends all the way to the ankle to create a clean, fluid line. And the makeup and hair feels signature Taylor (red lip, cateye flick) but the long low pony is fresh and also allows her bare shoulders a moment to shine.

Love!
