TAYLOR SWIFT STYLE – ERAS TOUR

70s Influence: I definitely expect references to the 70s Midnights aesthetic throughout her costuming. The question is how does one make corduroy stage-appropriate? Psychedelic prints and patterns, saturated tones, exaggerated crochet, fringe, and Gucci-esque disco influences all seem like fun costume possibilities.

Stars/Night: It’s a bit on the nose/literal, but I’d be surprised if we didn’t see some kind of reference to constellations, stars, and planetary movements that give reference to the haunted, evening aspect of Midnights.

Bejeweled, Natch: It isn’t a Taylor Swift concert without a requisite sparkly mini moment. I definitely expect at least one fringey sparkle dress somewhere and, of course, a very OTT production that references the corsetry and camp of the “Bejeweled” music video a la a leotard/bodysuit/burlesque moment.

Suiting/Jumpsuits: I demand a jumpsuit on tour. I simply need it. There are also just many opportunities to make this 70s-esque and I also feel like Taylor has really been leaning into tailoring, suits, and blazers the last few years. Plus with that recent gold jumpsuit from The Blonds a custom sparkly jumpsuit for tour doesn’t seem so far-fetched.

Cottagecore Goddess: While for the most part I expect the costuming to center on themes most relevant to Midnights, I also suspect special attention may be made to make sure there are costumed references to the album’s Taylor has yet to tour. Something in the nature of the beautiful Etro gown she wore for the 2021 Grammys performance that was shimmery enough for stage but had just enough flow and billowing sleeves to reference the wood nymph cottagecore energy of folkmore struck the exact right balance.

What are you hoping to see Taylor wear on stage and, equally important, what song are you most looking forward to hearing live?

TAYLOR SWIFT STYLE – ERAS TOUR

One of the most common questions I’ve been getting asked is what do I think Taylor will wear as part of her tour costuming on the Eras Tour. In years past – like for the Reputation Tour and Lover Fest – I’ve formatted these posts as individual looks, attached to the respective song I think that Taylor will sing while wearing the pictured ensemble.

This time, however, I feel like if I think about it too hard my brain explodes trying to imagine the setlist. I certainly don’t envy Taylor for having to navigate four untoured albums in addition to six full-length albums that host their own requisite number of hits that have immovable claims to any future setlist (“Love Story”, “Shake It Off” – I’m looking at you). I did do my best to pull together one that isn’t perfect but I’m proud of on the TSS Patreon here.

With that in mind, I’ve pulled together a moodboard of sorts that represent the general energy I imagine for Taylor’s tour costuming. (Spoiler: It always involves sequins). Sort of inspired by this very quaint predictions moodboard for what I then only knew of as TS7 but what we now can collectively call Lover. The fun of it all? That prediction post has mostly(?) come true. Just not in the way or in the timing that I expect. But what else is new from Taylor.

Keeping in mind of course that many (most/all) of her looks will likely be custom. But a girl can dream of ready-to-wear couture!

With that, I’ve broken down some common costuming elements into overarching themes.

Here we go!
