The Chiefs may have lost the big game, but Taylor in a blazer and thigh high boots is my version of winning the Super Bowl.

When I tell you how delighted I was to see Taylor in yet another copy + paste (mostly) outfit (Spoiler: It’s the shoes for me).

Taylor first debuted the Tortured Poets section when she kicked off the European leg of the Eras Tour in Paris. I had wondered aloud when/if we would see alternate versions of this dress with other TTPD lyrics scrawled across it.

Many may have noticed a recent accessory addition to the Tortured Poets costuming on the Eras Tour: a sleek pair of triple dart leather gloves. The addition comes as a functional fix to combat chilly temperatures on this particular stretch of dates in the United Kingdom.

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.

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?).

For her final Chiefs game of 2023, after a slew of outfits supported by mini skirts and tall boots Taylor instead opted for what I’ll call a personal copy + paste outfit for me with a belted pair of pants and heeled boots.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The back cover and official tracklisting of Taylor’s first re-recorded album is here. On the back, she wears a shirred, lace-trim button up from one of her favourite brands: Free People. 

I love Taylor’s entire hair and beauty look here! So laidback and free, and the bright pop of colour from her spring coral Keds offsets those tanned legs perfectly.

As she did elsewhere in the folklore photoshoot, Taylor opted to wear a floral dress by Magnolia Pearl, this one from their Summer 2015 collection — indicating perhaps that Taylor has been quietly hoarding MP pieces for years. 

This is an edgier look from Taylor than we’re used to but is entirely appropriate for the NME Awards.
