The post-breakup pap walk is a film we’ve seen before in the fandom – but it’s never looked quite this cute. It’s easy for your eye to flit around on this outfit – black and blue denim is a reliable classic that feels easy and simple, but it’s given a hot girl twist. The interplay of silver metallics between her chainmail bag and the butterfly embellished details (and yes, that necklace) (which no, I can’t confirm at the moment) on her jeans also keep a nice repeating motif that makes the outfit flow.

While we’re out here dressing for revenge, this feels like Taylors own take on Di’s precedent thanks to the subtle curvature of the top’s neckline (it’s not just a v neck!). And yes, scene-stealing jewelry included.

The mary jane silhouette feels like a callback to signature Taylor style – she’s long favoured a chunky heeled silhouette like these in the form of an oxford or platform shoe.

Perhaps this is penance for not getting to see the full picture of her Area cut out pants from her previous SNL performance but whatever made it happen – I’m glad it did.

There’s something to me that feels highly symbolic of the butterfly here, not just in its nod to Lover, but of its original concept of rebirth and renewal. If there’s one thing Taylor has done over her career, it’s perfected coming back. Whether that’s from the dead or stronger than a 90s trend.

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 ‘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. 😉

In addition to a baby pink option, Taylor pulled out a powder blue version of her first of five acoustic guitars she plays on tour.

Gibson ‘J-180 Acoustic Guitar’

Taylor’s acoustic go-to over the last few years (since approximately 2015). has been the Gibson J-180. She plays it on the Eras Tour in three different versions.

Versace custom

Between the two sequinned blazer moments Taylor opts for when singing “The Man”, my preference is actually for V2 at the moment. The pinstripes allude to classic business attire but the sparkles make it perfect for stage. The interplay between her ombré Louboutins also nicely tie in to the gold hardware on her jacket.
