Taylor Swift’s newest outfit is sending Swifties blended messages.
On September 21, Swift and shut buddy Gigi Hadid have been photographed out in New York City, and the 34-year-old pop star’s look gave followers rather a lot to debate. I’m not usually one to decode movie star outfits piece-by-piece for clues about their upcoming initiatives, however that is Taylor Swift we’re speaking about. She was actually dropping Tortured Poets Easter eggs in plain website for months with out anybody noticing.
For the needs of this text, we’re going to undergo practically every part she wore, and what it would imply for the 2 closing Taylor’s Version information and a doable twelfth studio album. Check out the pictures here, after which come proper again to see what followers (together with myself) suppose Swift’s making an attempt to inform us.
Let’s break the ‘match down first.
According to Page Six and Taylor Swift model skilled Sarah Chapelle, this is every part that may very well be easily identified:
Reputation (Taylor’s Version):
As I wrote up yesterday, Taylor Swift’s Vivienne Westwood snakeskin-patterned booties despatched me proper again in time to 2013. Lita-esque footwear apart, Swift’s wavy bang and black nail polish may very well be refined nods to her revenge period, however the snakeskin platform boots are undoubtedly Reputation-coded.
It’s price additionally stating that her Stella McCartney bag is croc-embossed, which feels snake-adjacent! Of course, we have been teased with snake prints many instances earlier than…
Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version)
Now, let’s discuss jewellery. Swift wore a collection of necklaces and rings, however her chainlink choker is sending some Swifties into detective mode. While some suppose the necklace represents the number 12 (extra on that in a minute), different’s suppose the piece is definitely a ‘TS’ initial necklace, as Page Six studies.
While it is utterly regular to put on ones title or initials round one’s neck, this may very well be an indication that her self-titled album may very well be forward of Reputation in line for a re-recording.
Swift has really talked concerning the Reputation re-recording, so it feels extra probably that she’s going to drop these “hearth” vault tracks earlier than focussing on her debut album. But let’s speak about one other idea.
Undisclosed twelfth studio album:
TikTok consumer @kamandlam identified that the lettering on the choker appears to be like just like the quantity “12” in pictures, however “says ‘TS’” when flipped the other way up. While I assume the other is true, it is onerous to consider Swift wore the piece incorrectly by mistake, particularly since Tortured Poets marked her eleventh studio album. Of course, some Swifties disagree.
