Me: Touches down in Kansas City MO, calls the amateurs, and cuts them from the team. Taylor: Is frolicking about NYC.

Taylor’s game day fashion expands on her signature style with some “Chief” M.O.’s to soften her presence (as much as one can when you are Taylor Swift, main character of the universe).

Clowning and egging (and bears - oh my!) aside this feels like a very classic Fall Taylor ‘fit. A knit crop, a pleated plaid mini, and boots are an easy, seasonal uniform.

Round two of season two of National Sportsball Observation. Last year, Taylor developed a reliable style playbook when it came to her game day fashion: women-owned/locally-owned brands, sentimental accessories, and vintage.

It isn’t all that surprising that Taylor would tap Monse for some of her looks. The two designers at the helm, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, first met when they were working together at Oscar de la Renta - one of Taylor’s longstanding favourite brands.

All-in, this felt like a cohesive night of looks to underpin TTPD’s aesthetic. The runway’s interplay of proportions and bustier-like top are very TTPD - sensual, emboldened, playing with what to reveal and what to hide.

Touchdown - she’s back. Many wondered how Taylor’s style playbook would shift (if at all) for “National Sportsball Observation”: Season Two.

After a lot of staring, my current suspicion (based on UO being one of Taylor’s longtime favourite brands for personal, casual wear) is that Taylor is wearing one of Urban’s cropped plaid shirts.

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. 

As comfy travel attire, Taylor wore a tie dye sweatshirt by Rodarte when travelling to Brazil during the South American leg of the Eras Tour.

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.

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.

To my ears (and still overwhelmed brain feeling like I’ve absorbed an encyclopedia of words across these 31 songs) this is an album for ‘Swiftie scholars’ who have the time, space, and devotion to wade through the heaviness of an album this dense and complicated.

After taking a very deserved break following the most recent leg of the Eras Tour, Taylor has appeared in Malibu grabbing lunch out with Travis.

Taylor’s Super Bowl style has followed such a reliable formula that a predictions post felt like oversetting expectations. We love a ‘work’ uniform created in mind for a setting. And in Taylor’s ‘rookie season’ of sportsball spectatorship, she’s developed a great one.

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?).

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.
