Taylor debuted a number of new costumes over the course of her Eras Tour dates in Miami which kickstarted this final leg of the tour. Amongst them were two debuts in the Midnights section.

Of the three versions of this dress that Taylor debuted over the course of her three nights in Miami, I think this one is my favourite.

I know some people express bafflement over the Speak Now set. Why so many gowns for just a single song set? My answer? Why not! We’re officially up to nine variants for this portion of the show. How fun(ny) would double digits be?

In a night full of plot twists (Exhibit A: There will be no explanation there will just be a second reputationbodysuit), the one that actually has me the most stumped is this designer switch during the Midnights set. 

The acoustic set dress has now had three design iterations, but eight total variants (accounting for different coloured versions for each design). To have brought her back into the fold for the Eras Tour felt like such a warm and lovely nod, indeed, to eras past. 

Empires have been built and fallen faster than a new reputation bodysuit, but here we are. The longest running gag of the Eras Tour comes to a close after a consecutive 131 wears - we finally have Version 2 of the reputation bodysuit! 

The Eras Tour is back for its final run and with it, of course, new costumes. Taylor debuted a handful during last night’s opening North American leg date in Miami, Florida - most by Fausto Puglisi for Roberto Cavalli.

Back in office, indeed! Taylor truly in her element at a sold out stadium with a cat on her arm - we do love to see it. How I’ve missed her!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
