Midnights
Capture It, Remember It: The coin toss flip of a glam, 70s showgirl. By day she retreats into a patchouli scented New York loft stuffed to the ceiling with vinyls. At night she’s a glimmering, high shine, evocative performer dripping in diamonds and sequins. Both of these things can be true.
Key Pieces: Celestial sequin dresses, faux fur shrug, wool sweater vests, wide-legged corduroys

Back to all eras
After taking a very deserved break following the most recent leg of the Eras Tour, Taylor has appeared in Malibu grabbing lunch out with Travis.
Rather than opt for actual Chiefs merchandise, Taylor opted for one of her go-to outerwear brands in Chiefs-approved colours that also included some stars (do u like dem?).
Many people have wondered when Taylor would wear an 87 jersey at a game and I’m delighted that the moment has come in such a fashionably fun way courtesy of #KristinJuszczyk - wife of 49ers player Kyle Juszczyk - who has taken to repurposing old jerseys into fabulous custom coats like this one.
For her final Chiefs game of 2023, after a slew of outfits supported by mini skirts and tall boots Taylor instead opted for what I’ll call a personal copy + paste outfit for me with a belted pair of pants and heeled boots.
What a blast from the past with this sweater which I’m tentatively calling based on Taylor owning and wearing this particular knit in six different colours over twelve years.
For me, this tactic is fun to see Taylor’s longtime love of vintage fashion (dating back even to 2010-2012) evolve into a way that she can express her recent love of sports (*wink*) while also shopping more sustainably - and often from small businesses.
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.
Once again Taylor’s streak for a short skirt and a tall boot continues and I am loving the proportions on her.
It’s very fun as we progress deeper into football season that, by extension, we get to see Taylor’s game day fashion change to reflect the actual seasons of the time as well.
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!
Taylor’s continued M.O. for Chiefs home games has been cute casual and centered on comfortable Chiefs merch.
Prior to the game itself, Taylor opted for another piece of Chiefs merch with this short sleeve tee.
Saucy > sporty.
The combination here of evoking a few different icons of fashion and genre busting, plus a Karma-worthy accessory denoting that she is Still Here… that’s some impeccable candid styling.
Another very fun (and slightly more spicy) outfit I’d copy + paste from Taylor.
For reasons unknown Taylor took a jaunt to Kansas City to take in a sporting event. Taylor is familiar with this stadium having just been there in July during the Eras Tour.
Naturally I have my own personal favourite of Taylor’s 1989 co-ordinating sets (everyone say it with me now #iykyk) but this blue shade is so good on Taylor.
Like all the other folklore set gowns, the special 1989 blue version is a custom piece by Alberta Ferretti. Based on its split-sleeve shoulder-cape attachments, neckline, and lace-like embellishments feel the most similar to the Version 3 pink dress.
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.
For those begging for a fresh version of the evermore dress (which is one of two ensembles from the tour that has yet to receive a variation) - you’ll be delighted to know a new Marco de Vincenzo for Etro gown was brought to life at MetLife Night 1.
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.
Not only do we all get to benefit from Taylor in orange, but it’s also incredibly charming she chose to debut this colour in Florida - a state known for the fruit.
I don’t think I have to expand to anyone which folklore dress is my favourite now.
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.
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.
As comfy travel attire, Taylor wore a tie dye sweatshirt by Rodarte when travelling to Brazil during the South American leg of the Eras Tour.
