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.

So to see her here now, effectively bookending Midnights fashion in a look that’s dark and ruminating and moonlit and celestial and mysterious yet sparkly and glam and alluring … it feels all the more appropriate on her birthday of all days.

It’s of zero surprise to me that this ruffled, tie-front dress that Taylor wears for the evermore section on tour is by Etro.

This is Taylor Swift at her most classic for the stage - a fringed, sparkly dress and boots. It doesn’t get more staple than that.

Taylor’s beautiful rich performance gown for her folklore/evermore medley at the 2021 Grammys is a custom fil coupé chiffon gown with paisley motifs and lace ruffles by Etro.

I almost got a brief Faith Connexion vibe from this dress given the waist-tie detail which was so common amongst those pieces back in the reputation days. But, of course, this is another FP piece for Taylor. 

As she did elsewhere in the folklore photoshoot, Taylor opted to wear a floral dress by Magnolia Pearl, this one from their Summer 2015 collection — indicating perhaps that Taylor has been quietly hoarding MP pieces for years. 

Though it’s difficult to tell given the low-res images, it appears that Taylor is wearing this pair of laceless leather brogues. Based on the contrast trim around the sole and heel as well as wingtip cut.  

As one might have guessed, given the time period, her dress here is by BCBG. Taylor definitely favoured a lot of dresses by Max Azria in her self-titled and pre-Fearless days.

Taylor’s corset and lace dress is by Greg Lauren. I really dig the rocker chick vibe from this look and it’s almost a sexier, five shots in a bar grown up version of her “All Too Well” RED Tour look. 

I’m completely in love with this outfit and the fact that Taylor has revived a TSS-er favourite.

Taylor customized her Les Paul by forgoing the pickguard and identification plates on the headstock as well as refinishing it in a sparkle red colour.

Taylor invited the media out to the Hard Rock Café in Nashville back in 2011 to celebrate “Mine” hitting number one on the Radio Single chart as well as her historic 1 million sales week for Speak Now.

Taylor’s love for all things sparkly and fringe lives.

Those stacked bracelets! So Fearless era. 

A sparkly mini, curled updo and Christian Louboutin heels created the Taylor trifecta at the 2009 BRITs.

All that matters here is Actual Perfect Hair Taylor Swift.

I mentioned this dress in a TSS’ Prom Inspiration post, but here’s a really amazing Get the Look link for it! Simply lovely.

The Met Gala is probably my favourite fashion event of the year and Taylor glittered at the 2008 ball in a Badgley Mischka gown.
