“Ghost Town” with Madonna

Worn On: 3/29/15 // iHeartRadio Music Awards

the commentary

Taylor’s corset and lace dress is by Greg Lauren. I really dig the rocker chick vibe from this look and it’s almost a sexier, five shots in a bar grown up version of her “All Too Well” RED Tour look. 

According to the brand, Taylor’s dress was artfully destroyed using paint, ink, cigarettes, coffee and fire. I told you it was a hardcore dress. 

I’m just going to be … Over here … In a ditch. Because Taylor Swift in all black, thigh highs and lace up knee-high heeled Louboutins is a thing. As if the lace up knee-high leather boots weren’t enough, Taylor added on a sexy pair of lacy thigh-high stockings by her favourite hosiery brand Wolford. 

During last night’s performance I was quite intrigued by what seemed like a new addition to Taylor’s guitar roster (looking forward to seeing what she brings to the table instrument-wise on the 1989 World Tour!).

While it’s common knowledge that Taylor’s preferred acoustic guitar brand is Taylor Guitars it’s also not out of the norm for her to pick up a Gibson. But this one is apparently actually Madonna’s and Taylor borrowed it for the performance. 

Note: I’m no guitar expert. It has been noted that Madonna has played the Everly Brothers LImited Edition version of this guitar. 

Also? I want to let Taylor know that her speech accepting Artist of the Year made me cry. It’s true, darling. We have all never ever felt closer to you and I know that all of us feel happier and more loved than we have ever felt knowing that you are in our lives. Really, truly in our lives. Not just your music, not just your words, but you. And knowing that is absolutely everything. There aren’t enough madly scribbled notes on the backs of New York maps that I could leave you to let you know how much you mean to us. So thank you for everything. We appreciate you. The adoration. Is. Mutual.
