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.

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.

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.
