The Eras Tour | Speak Now Section (“Enchanted”) | Version 2

Zuhair Murad Couture custom

The starburst bodice design feels just the right amount of ethereal and “sparkling” for a song like “Enchanted” and I actually like the tonal pink on pink of Taylor against the screens here. But I think I prefer Version 1 for its more overt similarities to the Speak Now Tour finale gown.

As a former dancer myself who’s done a chair dance, I respect and feel a kinship towards Taylor challenging herself with more intricate and highly choreographed numbers on this tour. It’s even more impressive when you consider that the number appears on the tour’s final section of a three hour show.

The fringe on this midnight blue bodysuit drips beautifully over her hips here and plays multiple roles. Serving to mimic raindrops for “Midnight Rain”, a fun twirly moment worthy of strutting and spinning during “Bejeweled”, and to add a sensual tasseled burlesque feel during that aforementioned chair dance of “Vigilante Shit”. Plus it also feels kind of cheeky western glam.

The most direct reference to present Midnights fashion comes via this faux fur jacket – a designer take on the Free People faux she wears in the “Lavender Haze” music video.

The number of times outerwear is used as a method of quick change to impact the silhouette of a look (the duster added during her RED set) or shift the visual direction of an outfit (the Boss blazer added for “The Man”) feels like a fun folkmore reference to the chic outerwear that dominated those visuals.

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.

Another moment where a throwback to previous style was going to be an easy win. There’s nothing like a matching crop top and skirt with sparkle booties to evoke the 1989 Tour. Fausto Puglisi did an incredible job with the unique diamond-shaped Swarovski work here.

Alberta Ferretti custom

In my predictions post, I had noted that I wouldn’t be surprised if we got beautiful goddess references to cottagecore in the vein of her 2021 Etro Grammys moment.

This mauve-toned, chiffon gown mixes bohemian elements thanks to its ruffles and flutter sleeves and lace with very subtle stage-worthy embellishments. Well done.
