Critically Kind takes on Taylor's fashion
The Eras Tour | Lover section | Version 2

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.

I can almost imagine that once opening night was over and Taylor was getting a feel for the physicality of the show she felt confident enough to start accessorizing 😉

Once again, these Versace bodysuits really are coming through like works of art. This bodysuit looks like a glitter Renaissance painting.

In the world of tour costuming, Taylor is no stranger to an on stage quick change. Most of the time, she does it as if by a magic trick. One second she’s in one ensemble, the next in a blur of moving bodies or sleight of hand she’s in a different one. The Eras Tour employs this trick, but it also isn’t afraid to lean in to the simple change of outerwear.
For “The Man”, Taylor dons a completely custom bedazzled blazer which not only made my predictions very happy but serves as a seamless way to completely change an outfit and also visually tie in to the theme of the song being performed. The set transforms and the dancers don stuffy corporate suits and Taylor changes accordingly – albeit in a more glam fashion.

Welcome to The Eras Tour, everyone.
Here, we begin a comeback tour where we seemingly last left off: With not only the first album under Taylor’s new record contract that she owns but that also had its live iteration cancelled. The candy coated colours of this Versace bodysuit are an on-brand callout to the Lover aesthetic while also being very signature to the iridescent embellishments that Versace is known for. This is what you call perfect brand alignment – what a great designer to bring this vision to life.
But more than that, the opening of the tour sees dancers encircle Taylor in seashell-shaped props. The effect evokes the birth of Venus – goddess of love. This makes sense on multiple levels not only for its literal connection to the album Lover and Taylor wanting to be known for the things that she loves, not the things that she hates (as per “Daylight”). But also the Birth of Venus painting depicts the goddess emerging from the sea, fully formed. No one moulded Venus, she came into existence herself. I can imagine Taylor feeling a kinship with that thought as someone whose life is a direct result of her life, her words, her work. And opening this particular tour with that kind of imagery feels all the more appropriate and powerful.

Versace ‘Floral Embroidered Cable Knit Jumper’ – $2,395.00 $1,197.00
This colour, once again, is so beautiful on Taylor. It’s so nice seeing her in red again. This sweater is almost like a high-end designer revamp on your grandmother’s most beloved antique knitwear, which is what I’m sure drew Taylor to it. The embroidery is so vibrant.

As evidenced in the BTS video, Taylor wears another Versace printed shirt for “The Man” video. Whether this was simply an earlier styled version of her yacht look or a cut scene is not clear.
