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.

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!

The colours and new ombré boots? 13/10.

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.

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.

I audibly gasped when I first saw photos of this asymmetrical bodysuit.

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.

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.

Taylor employs an old dancers trick to get her legs looking the way they do on stage - double layering tights.

While we again don’t quite know which song this get up is for, what we do know is the makeup was done by Pat McGrath - just as it was for the night Taylor announced Midnights at the MTV VMAs.

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.

Many, many, many more thoughts to come later. But for now … I’m just breathless.

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. 

This heart-embroidered menswear-inspired suit set is one of the most Taylor and Lover-appropriate lewks we’ve been served this era thus far.

For her performance of “IDSB”, Taylor served up a hybrid version of two bodysuits she wears on tour plus a pair of boots she also wears on tour.
