TAYLOR SWIFT STYLE — AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS

While Taylor has had a history of going short and mini at the AMAs (just look at last year’s disco Balmain ensemble for reference) given that Taylor will be receiving the incredibly prestigious Artist of the Decade, it was my thought that she would take the opportunity and go serious with a full-length moment. 

My choices aimed to strike a balance between the (albeit inconsistent) aesthetic of the Lover era with choices that still honour and celebrate Taylor’s evolution in style over the last decade. 

I hope I got it. 

Here we go!

  • Iris Van Herpen Spring 2020
    – Just give me a moment to pick myself off the floor. I haven’t yet met an IVH creation that hasn’t taken my breath away and this fluttering sunset moment is no different. Iris creations are works of art and I felt the colours represented here are an ode to the Lover album while also a nod to the princess-like gowns of Taylor’s past — just executed in an incredibly elegant way appropriate for an almost 30 year old. Stick a fork in me if Taylor ever wears something akin to this.
  • Halpern Spring 2020

    – Out of all my suit choices (and if you watched the Making Of video you know there were a-plenty) this one felt the most alluring to Taylor’s historic magpie soul. Taylor has never met a sequin she didn’t like and she’s been on quite the hot streak with menswear inspired suits (much to the fatigue of some, I know). She’d cut a sleek silhouette in this and would of course send an incredibly strong symbol to viewers and attendees about how far she has come since her sundress and cowgirl boot days to stand on the AMA stage and receive its highest honour. A dark berry lip and a crushed glittery metallic smoky eye would be great here, if you please.
  • Elie Saab Spring 2020

    – I very rarely acquiesce to fan requests but on a night like this when Taylor is honouring her decade long journey in the music industry, it felt apt to include an old red carpet standby designer as an option for this predictions post. While a little boring and expected, Elie Saab gowns are consistently pretty and Taylor wears their sparkly, classic, princess styles incredibly well. I chose this more daring one (Taylor would likely wear a much stronger nude lining underneath) because of its subtle rainbow iridescence — another Lover nod in nostalgic packaging, no?
  • Oscar de la Renta Spring 2020

    – While my first IVH choice evoked the colours of sunset, this one is all about sunrise. Delicate, frothy, irreverently girly. It has everything that the Lover aesthetic originally promised us from the moment Taylor stepped out in that pink and yellow sorbet gown by J. Mendel at the Time 100 Gala (the best she’s looked all era, am I right?). This gown is everything we have been yearning and promised for in this era. And on such a huge night of recognition for Taylor, it seems like the right time to get it, don’t you think?

What do you think of my choices? Do you have a favourite or a particular designer you hope Taylor will wear for the show?

I Made A Patreon

taylorswiftstyle:

(TL;DR: I made a Patreon with many different exclusive content options (first access to predictions posts, lyric analysis, etc). But primarily: It is the best place to go for personal styling requests or if you have a hankering to support TSS in a monetary way [be still my heart]. It be here.)

If you’ve been following along for any length of time, you know that this space has evolved from simple questions about Taylor’s style. 

As TSS became an archive for Taylor’s fashion over the last 13 (!!!) years, the most common question I would get is: 

“Where is x, y, z post?”
“I love this dress Taylor wore in the Speak Now era. Did you ever post it?”

These are some of my favourite questions as it tests my knowledge of the TSS database. I will never tire of fetching those posts for you (and it also poses a constant challenge to me of how can I make the site even easier for you, as TSSers, to navigate). 

But over time, as our relationship inevitably deepened — so too did your questions:

“What do you think of the outfit?” 
“Do you think there’s symbolism in a, b, c?”
“She’s been wearing this brand a lot lately. Why do you think that is?”

It never once occurred to me that people would want to hear from me, the singular human who runs this blog. It was — and continues to be — the greatest compliment. 

But then you guys took it one step further. You made it personal: 

“I fell in love with a skirt and I bought it. But now I don’t know what to do! How should I wear it with the rest of my clothes?”
“I love the latest athleisure trend. How would you suggest a normal person wear it without looking like a Hadid try hard?” 
“I’m attending a winter wedding and have no idea what to wear! Where can I get an affordable wedding guest dress?” 
“I have no idea what colours or silhouettes work for me. What clothing styles do you think I should wear?” 

Not only have we gotten to the point of friendship where we so deeply care about each other’s opinions on our most favourite of subjects (Taylor), you’ve invited me into your lives. Your real lives. And you seemingly trust me with that of sacred importance: your closet. 

I can’t think of a greater honour. 

But I also couldn’t think of something more stressful or (eventually) time consuming with the number of overwhelmingly wonderful requests that came in for personal styling. In addition to balancing all the other demands of this blog (and frankly, my IRL life). 

Many of you suggested this: a Patreon.

I never thought we’d be here. 

With a full-time job and TSS continuing to grow as a full-time passion project, I thought this might be a way of meeting in the middle. 

Where TSSers get the opportunity to ask all the styling questions you want, support TSS in a new monetary way (likes, reblogs, and clicks still mean something, but if you’re a keener this is now an option), and of course for me to offer some more exclusive and long-form goodies that needed a home (Lover Track By Track analysis, anyone?). 

Thank you for supporting TSS in all the ways you have over the years. The messages, the likes, the reblogs, the clicks, the silent admiration or following from afar. In equal measures, they all mean so so so much. 

This Patreon isn’t a requirement, but an additional option of support and a service I hope you can understand why I’d like to be compensated for.

Thank you.
