Now on the European leg of Eras, I had been wondering when we’d see her pop in London. The days ahead of her U.K. dates seemed like a fitting time as any. And oh is she saying things with this ensemble. 

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.

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.

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.

It’s been fascinating to observe Taylor’s game day fashion evolve from September to now and even more so to see her wear something so utterly non-descript during such a key match like the AFC Championship - a Super Bowl decider game.

Rather than opt for actual Chiefs merchandise, Taylor opted for one of her go-to outerwear brands in Chiefs-approved colours that also included some stars (do u like dem?).

Many people have wondered when Taylor would wear an 87 jersey at a game and I’m delighted that the moment has come in such a fashionably fun way courtesy of #KristinJuszczyk - wife of 49ers player Kyle Juszczyk - who has taken to repurposing old jerseys into fabulous custom coats like this one.

What a blast from the past with this sweater which I’m tentatively calling based on Taylor owning and wearing this particular knit in six different colours over twelve years.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you were wondering why this outfit worked so seamlessly to mimic the high waisted shorts of the RED Era, it’s because Taylor’s red ombre bodysuit (worn underneath here) were designed perfectly to look like a regular pair of shorts.
