Taylor Swift has multiple outfit changes during a single Eras Tour concert. She recently debuted a new “Reputation” look for the tour’s final leg.
Taylor Swift has officially launched the final leg of the Eras Tour, which is due to wrap up in Vancouver on December 8.
After making stops across South America, Australia, Asia, and Europe, where Swift unveiled additions to both her setlist and her wardrobe, Swift returned to North America on Friday for a three-show stint in Florida.
Once again, Swift’s sold-out crowds at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium were treated to multiple new costumes — including an alternative “Reputation” catsuit for the first time ever.
The Eras Tour is arranged as a retrospective of Swift’s career, spanning nearly two decades and 11 studio albums. Swift does several outfit changes during a single concert, and each segment has a unique aesthetic to match the music in question.
Keep reading to see every outfit Swift has worn onstage, ranked from worst to best.67. The surprise song dress in yellow
Each night during the Eras Tour, Swift performs an acoustic set with two surprise songs.
The dress for this segment is designed for a quick change; Swift slips it over her outfit from the previous segment (before it was “1989”, now it’s “The Tortured Poets Department”) while still onstage. It makes sense for the dress to be simple. But it doesn’t make sense for the fabric to be the same color as Big Bird.
Frankly, the yellow dress is ugly. It’s way too yellow.66. The surprise song dress in orange
It’s too orange.65. The surprise song dress in green
The green dress isn’t ugly, but it’s not especially notable either.64. The surprise song dress in pink
The original pink variant still isn’t anything to write home about, but generally speaking, Swift looks good in pink.63. The surprise song dress in the other shade of pink
I do appreciate that Swift eschewed the butterfly sleeves and unnecessary ruffles for this updated variant, but this dress still looks like it came from Forever 21.62. The surprise song dress in blue
Swift wore blue versions of several classic tour looks for the night she announced “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”
Blue is the best option for a surprise song dress, partially because the color complements Swift’s eyes that put those Georgia stars to shame and partially because it reminds me of Sharpay Evans singing “Bop to the Top.”61. The surprise song dress in the other shade of blue
You know the drill by now. This version of the dress is fine. Mostly it just looks simpler and cheaper than we’d expect from a billionaire — likely an intentional choice aligned with Swift’s masterful PR strategy.60. The surprise song dress in various ombré shades
Swift debuted three versions of this chiffon wrap dress in Miami: magenta-violet-teal, bluish-purple, and orange-pink. Thanks to their ombré hues and flowy fabrics, these were promptly dubbed “betta fish dresses” by fans online.59. The “Speak Now” ballgown that’s growing mushrooms
The flowers plopped all over this dress are flimsy and weird-looking. I would be glad to never see it again.58. “1989” (Europe’s Version)
Swift debuted a new collection of designer looks in Nanterre, France, the first stop on the tour’s European leg.
The new style for “1989” is a sequined top and ombré skirt pairing by Roberto Cavalli, much like the skater skirts from the album’s original era.
There are dozens of color combinations that Swift has worn so far — blue and pink, orange and purple, yellow and red like her boyfriend’s football team — but none of them are particularly chic. The silhouette aims to evoke nostalgia but ends up feeling outdated.57. The “Red” romper
Honestly, Swift’s outfits never slay during the “Red” segment, but the ombré romper is the worst offender. It’s not terrible, but it doesn’t do anything for her.56. The “All Too Well” jacket
Swift dons glittery, floor-grazing outerwear to perform “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)”, which helps make the “Red” segment a bit more sophisticated — though it doesn’t match the somber vibe of the song. I much preferred the sleek look that Swift wore to perform the song on “Saturday Night Live.”55. The “22” shirt
There are six versions of this shirt, inspired by an outfit worn by Swift in the “22” music video: “A lot going on at the moment”, “We are never getting back together like ever”, “Who’s Taylor Swift anyway? Ew”, “This is not Taylor’s Version”, “I bet you think about me”, and, most recently, “I knew you were trouble.” The shirt is always paired with a black bowler hat.
This look doesn’t exactly scream high fashion, but it gets extra points for sentimentality. The hat is the antithesis of cool, but it gets extra points for the cuteness factor, since Swift always gives it to a special fan in the crowd.53. The “Fearless” dress in gold
This is a custom Roberto Cavalli dress, embellished with Swarovski crystals, but somehow it looks like a stringy array of ramen noodles.53. The “Fearless” dress in silver
Silver is slightly better than gold, but the tassels still look like octopus tentacles.52. The cupcake-shaped “Speak Now” ballgown
It’s too puffy!51. The “Karma” jacket in pink
It’s too pink!50. “Midnights” in pink and purple
This is a much nicer shade of pink.49. “Midnights” in double purple
This is a classic combination, but it lacks contrast and intrigue.48. “Midnights” in blue and purple
Blue is a natural fit for the “Midnights” segment, especially because the standard album cover features a light-blue font.47. “Midnights” with extra sparkles
This version of the T-shirt dress is slightly elevated, with multicolored gems scattered across the fabric.46. The “Lavender Haze” look
The fuzzy coat that opens the “Midnights” segment is a reference to the “Lavender Haze” music video. This connection is most obvious when Swift wears the opalescent T-shirt dress underneath.
It kind of looks like Swift skinned a Muppet to make this coat, but don’t worry: she confirmed in a behind-the-scenes clip that she would never wear real fur.45. The “Karma” jacket in blue
Blue-on-blue is a logical combo for the closing number, if a little predictable.44. The “Karma” jacket with extra colors
Chaotic, yet fun.43. The “Karma” jacket in magenta
The contrast between Swift’s bright skin, dark-blue bodysuit, and hot-pink fringe makes this the best option for the show’s closing number.42. The “Tortured Poets” gown
I assume the new outfit for “The Tortured Poets Department” segment is designed to look like a “crumpled-up piece of paper lying here”, evoking both the tragedy of “All Too Well” and the dark-academia aesthetic of the album itself.
It’s a solid concept (and the gown’s neckline is divine), but ultimately, I can’t support Swift’s obsession with high-low mullet dresses.
