STYLE , SORTED
Chiefs vs Bengals in Kansas City
Round two of season two of National Sportsball Observation. Last year, Taylor developed a reliable style playbook when it came to her game day fashion: women-owned/locally-owned brands, sentimental accessories, and vintage.
Attending an After Party in NYC
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.
MTV Video Music Awards II
A brief moment of pride for me because I happened to predict a different look from this exact same collection for the MTV VMAs. I’ll take the win!
MTV Video Music Awards
All-in, this felt like a cohesive night of looks to underpin TTPD’s aesthetic. The runway’s interplay of proportions and bustier-like top are very TTPD - sensual, emboldened, playing with what to reveal and what to hide.
Out and About in New York City
Someone got a haul of Gucci recently and decided to wear it all in one fell weekend. It’s not uncommon for Taylor to be brand loyal and to wear a slew of things from a single designer many times over, consecutively.
Out and About in New York City, NY
Taylor has often gone back to an all black look for dinner nights out. And who can blame her. I lean on all black all the time when I want to feel polished and chic.
Chiefs vs Ravens in Kansas City
Touchdown - she’s back. Many wondered how Taylor’s style playbook would shift (if at all) for “National Sportsball Observation”: Season Two.

After a lot of staring, my current suspicion (based on UO being one of Taylor’s longtime favourite brands for personal, casual wear) is that Taylor is wearing one of Urban’s cropped plaid shirts.
The Eras Tour | Midnights | v5
As I’ve noted throughout the tour, one should expect the unexpected when it comes to new costumes. As in, they can happen at any time in any city at any time.
The Eras Tour | Fearless | v5
Many may have noticed a recent accessory addition to the Tortured Poets costuming on the Eras Tour: a sleek pair of triple dart leather gloves. The addition comes as a functional fix to combat chilly temperatures on this particular stretch of dates in the United Kingdom.
The Eras Tour | TTPD | v2
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.
Out and About in London
Now on the European leg of Eras, I had been wondering when we’d see her pop in London. The days ahead of her U.K. dates seemed like a fitting time as any. And oh is she saying things with this ensemble.
On Vacation in Lake Como, Italy
In between Eras Tour stops in Europe, Taylor opted for some vacation time at this very romantic and popular lakeside tourist destination in Italy.
The Eras Tour | RED | v6
Among many of Taylor's new costumes introduced during the European leg of the Eras Tour, she also added a few new options of her sequinned Ashish shirt during the RED set.
The Eras Tour | RED | v5
Among many of Taylor's new costumes introduced during the European leg of the Eras Tour, she also added a few new options of her sequinned Ashish shirt during the RED set.
The Eras Tour | RED | v4
During the RED set I wasn’t just confused because it was the first set to have moved from its original spot in the setlist, but Taylor’s new shirt saying took me aback.
Out and About in Las Vegas
I’m not quite sure what outing Taylor wore this LBD for while out in Las Vegas (after party, out to dinner, another event) but what I do know is this is a very important designer.
15 And the Mahomies Charity Gala
I’m sure somewhere locked inside my brain are smarter words to say about this dress but the only one I can summon up is greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.
“Fortnight” Music Video
To my ears (and still overwhelmed brain feeling like I’ve absorbed an encyclopedia of words across these 31 songs) this is an album for ‘Swiftie scholars’ who have the time, space, and devotion to wade through the heaviness of an album this dense and complicated.
Chiefs vs Ravens in Baltimore
It’s been fascinating to observe Taylor’s game day fashion evolve from September to now and even more so to see her wear something so utterly non-descript during such a key match like the AFC Championship - a Super Bowl decider game.
