To me, this is really giving that we were both young when I first saw you. The transportive magic of fashion (and the Eras Tour).

Quickly climbing my personal ranking of the Midnights bodysuits! I personally prefer this true midnight blue navy tone over the ‘blurple’ of some of the other suits in this 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.

Like we were (new outfits) in Paris! After about four fortnights off, Taylor brought the Eras Tour back for its European leg in France. And with this new leg comes a handful of setlist changes... and, more importantly, costume changes.

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.

There’s a part of me playing between two potential reads on the new silhouette (and designer) of the surprise song dresses.

After a two-ish month break, Taylor picked up where the US/Mexico dates of the Eras Tour left off at the end of the summer with a rousing first of three shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina - and with it, new costuming!

From the colour, the neckline, the swooping cutouts, and the fringe — you’d be forgiven if you blinked and thought you were transported to the 1989 Tour.

Besides debut having no section at all (as a debut stan, will I ever let this go? doubtful), I personally find it charming that the album with the shortest section as part of the Eras Tour setlist has the most amount of costume variations.

Of course, what better way to honour Speak Now TV release weekend than a new and incredibly purple dress for what we can actually call a Speak Now ‘set’ thanks to Taylor surprising the crowd with fan favourite “Long Live”.

On Night 2 at MetLife, Taylor introduced a new silver version of her Fearless Version 2 dress which she also wore to Night 3.

Of the four variations of the “Enchanted” dress we have seen, this also brings designer contributor to 2 of 4 with another pull from Elie Saab - a fashion house that Taylor has turned to for many red carpet looks over the years.

The colours and new ombré boots? 13/10.

I feel of the three “Enchanted” dresses we’ve seen thus far, this one is going to be a bit of a marmite. I personally really like the textured appliqués and beading.

If you were wondering why this outfit worked so seamlessly to mimic the high waisted shorts of the RED Era, it’s because Taylor’s red ombre bodysuit (worn underneath here) were designed perfectly to look like a regular pair of shorts.

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

Oh to be in a position to commission a custom midnight blue crystal garter (also by ZM). As if “Vigilante Shit” weren’t saucy enough.

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 ;)
