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.

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).

There’s a part of me playing between two potential reads on the new silhouette (and designer) of the surprise song dresses.
