In between Eras Tour stops in Europe, Taylor opted for some vacation time at this very romantic and popular lakeside tourist destination in Italy.

While I’m sure this particular two piece was a cheeky Chiefs nod, particularly with certain special guests in the audience when this set debuted during Paris 4, this is indeed a yellow / orange set.

One of the signature elements of the Eras Tour costuming has been balancing visually referencing eras past, but refreshing them for the modern day. Her co-ordinating tops and skirts worn for the 1989 section are a great example.

How amazing is it to see a more glamourous revival of a dress that was once just a simple, shin-length gown? And those ballet flats! 

Among many of Taylor's new costumes introduced during the European leg of the Eras Tour, she also added a few new options of her sequinned Ashish shirt during the RED set.

For her final number in the TTPD set, Taylor gives a rousing theatrical performance of “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart”. It’s thoroughly entertaining. It’s sardonically meta. It’s theatrical sarcasm.

When it comes to the three versions of this set we’ve seen thus far I think the white does the best job at conveying the feeling of being stripped naked for the amusement of a live audience and integrates well into the leached starkness of the world she’s established in TTPD.

During the TTPD set, Taylor has taken to coordinating her three row VW choker based on the two piece set worn underneath her corseted gown. So far, she’s worn a black one for her black and grey sets and this white one for a white set.

As per my previous note on V6 of Taylor’s newly joined ‘folkmore’ section, this is now the second time we’re retreading design territory. V7 of this dress takes the silhouette and botanical elements of the superb V4 version of the gown and renders it in a saturated berry tone.

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).

Unless this is Taylor’s cheeky attempt at an Alvin and the Chipmunks meme replication I’m a bit stumped on the decision to go cotton candy two tone across this entire outfit - mismatched Louboutins included.

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.

If my eyes aren’t deceiving me, this is the first time we’re getting a new folklore gown that’s a repeat silhouette - just a different colour. If I’m not mistaken, V6 is a yellow version of the V2 white gown (which appeared in the Eras Tour Movie).

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.
