Taylor attended the 2025 Grammys in a look that made me feel like I was on a red hot winning streak. First, for correctly guessing the designer. Second, for guessing the styling.

This outfit has a lot of recognizable, repeat elements going on for it which is something Taylor does a lot with her fashion.

Taylor’s game day fashion expands on her signature style with some “Chief” M.O.’s to soften her presence (as much as one can when you are Taylor Swift, main character of the universe).

Clowning and egging (and bears - oh my!) aside this feels like a very classic Fall Taylor ‘fit. A knit crop, a pleated plaid mini, and boots are an easy, seasonal uniform.

It isn’t all that surprising that Taylor would tap Monse for some of her looks. The two designers at the helm, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, first met when they were working together at Oscar de la Renta - one of Taylor’s longstanding favourite brands.

On this occasion, Taylor wasn’t heading into Electric Lady for a session - but for a wedding! With Travis as +1, the two were guests to the nuptials of model Karen Elson and Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster.

Taylor first debuted the Tortured Poets section when she kicked off the European leg of the Eras Tour in Paris. I had wondered aloud when/if we would see alternate versions of this dress with other TTPD lyrics scrawled across it.

For her final number in the TTPD set, Taylor gives a rousing theatrical performance of “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart”. It’s thoroughly entertaining. It’s sardonically meta. It’s theatrical sarcasm.

When it comes to the three versions of this set we’ve seen thus far I think the white does the best job at conveying the feeling of being stripped naked for the amusement of a live audience and integrates well into the leached starkness of the world she’s established in TTPD.

During the TTPD set, Taylor has taken to coordinating her three row VW choker based on the two piece set worn underneath her corseted gown. So far, she’s worn a black one for her black and grey sets and this white one for a white set.

For my own predictions post guessing at tour designers for The Tortured Poets Department set on the Eras Tour I noted: “When it comes to designers, I feel Vivienne Westwood would excel at this assignment.” The theatricality, the dramatics, the corsetry, the Britishness of it all.
