Christian Louboutin ‘Eleonor Suede Ankle Boots’ - $1,195.00

Having seemingly learned from the AFC Championship game when Taylor stepped onto the field for the first time to celebrate the win, she’s swapped her stiletto heels for a thicker, slanted block heel that appears to be these ‘Eleonor’ style ones.

And a custom ’87’ on the side. Naturally.

Worn with: Wear by EA jacket, Stephanie Gottlieb pendant and tennis necklace, Shay necklace and bracelet, The Last Line earring, Shahla Karimi + Shay + Retrouvai rings, Dion Lee top, Judith Leiber clutch, Area pants

Shay Jewelry ‘Ruby Solitaire Necklace’ - $5,420.00
Shay Jewelry ‘Ruby Eternity Band’ - $5,660.00
Shay Jewelry ‘Ruby Stretch Bracelet’ - $19,950.00

Rounding out her jewelry with some more ‘loving him was (Chiefs) red’ pieces by Shay.

Shahla Karimi Jewelry ‘Baguette Stacking Ring’ - $810.00
Shahla Karimi Jewelry ‘Bezel Set Demi Ring’ - $850.00
SHAY ‘Ruby Eternity Band’ - $5,660.00
Retrouvai ‘Magna Ring’ - $3,210.00

This isn’t the first time Taylor has worn Retrouvai. Another L.A.-based jewelry brand. The last time being the “I Bet You Think About Me” music video - directed of course by Blake Lively who just so happens to be there with Taylor to take in tonights game. ‘Magna’ of course meaning ‘great’ in Latin - which feels like a bejeweled way to manifest a Chiefs win.

The Last Line ‘Heart Twist Earring’ - $495.00/each

Once again, Taylor’s jewelry choices are doing a lot of talking. This is the first time as far as I’m aware that Taylor is wearing L.A.-based ‘The Last Line’ - but how appropriate is it to wear a (Chiefs) red heart earring that obviously has a romantic undertone from a brand that has a name one could easily parallel to this being the final game of the football season.

Stephanie Gottlieb ‘Diamond Tennis Choker’ - $7,500.00

Taylor has worn quite a few timeless diamond tennis pieces this year, her Eras Tour movie premiere set immediately comes to my mind.

Stephanie Gottlieb ‘Large Varsity Pendant’ - $4,250.00

To coordinate with the “’60” on her Wear by EA jacket (a reference to the founding year of the Chiefs - you’ll spot it intermittently across Chiefs merch and it’s differentiated from the player number here by the ‘ ahead of ’6’), Taylor went personal with an ’87’ necklace.

Taylor Swift Style Blogger Makes Her Author Debut & the Book’s Already a Bestseller: Here’s Where to Preorder It

Flip through over 200 pages of looks ranging from her Eras tour to the start of her career, featuring commentary on her fashion evolution.

Billboard

Are you ready for it? A new Taylor Swift book inspired by her best outfits throughout the decades is headed for bookstores. The book titled Taylor Swift Style: Fashion Through the Eras doesn’t come out until Oct. 8, but the buzz around it has already landed the tome as a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon for fashion design.

Longtime fashion blogger Taylor Swift Style (known offline as Sarah Chapelle) wrote the book and has garnered 240,000 followers on Instagram, along with being credited in publications such as Billboard, People, Harper’s Bazaar and more for her research. You can expect more than 200 photos of some of the “Delicate” singer’s most iconic looks, as well as insight into the hidden meaning behind each outfit. It’s no secret that Swift loves a good Easter egg, and Chapelle looks to delve into the effortless fusion of fashion and music through every red carpet gown and streetwear style that’s spotlighted.

“Taylor Swift Style: Fashion Through the Eras is a natural extension of my blog and Instagram account that combines detailed identification reporting with analyzing the intention behind each look — definitively capturing her style evolution across almost two decades,” Chapelle tells Billboard.

Each first-edition comes with a rainbow spine that’s symbolic of each era, as well as gold foiled pages, which Chapelle hopes will help “people see this book as something truly special and worthy of being displayed.”

What also sets her book apart from any other Swift books goes beyond the research. Chapelle has been listening to Swift’s music since 2006 and even saw her open for Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley. Using the built-up knowledge and love of the “August” singer, she hopes that the amount of care and thought she put in will come to all who pick up a copy.

“I’ve been documenting Taylor’s fashion since 2011, providing not only the exact pieces she’s wearing, but also providing my personal insight and context on her clothes as a communication tool,” she says. “All my most significant firsts as a young female were easier to navigate and process because they were mirrored and comforted by the soundtrack that she wrote. I hope what comes across in this book — and in everything I do — is the level of care, thought and deep-rooted feelings that are there. I’ve been inspired by Taylor’s emotional authenticity for over half my life, and I hope that’s captured in these pages.”

While I have your attention as I’m doing Super Bowl coverage, please don’t mind my shameless self-promotion of my upcoming book Taylor Swift Style which is out October 8 and available for pre-order now. Pre-orders are so vital to authors (especially first time ones!) so if a beautifully designed one-of-a-kind keepsake that would look beautiful any Swiftie’s coffee table is something you’d consider - I would so appreciate it.

Pro Tip: Only the special first edition will feature a gilded cover and page edges for that extra special sparkle that fans love. We’re letting the first edition bejeweled.

Super Bowl LVIII | Las Vegas, NV | February 11, 2024

Judith Leiber ‘Football Clutch’ - $4,495.00

This is the special Super Bowl edition of the designers’ football clutch (which is available in a few colourways). Taylor requisitioned her custom Judith Leiber football clutch to have Travis’ number added to it by the brand - but if that wasn’t a bespoke option would it surprise me at all if she took matters into her own hands via a hot glue gun? No.

A part of me likes to think that this was chosen as a game day appropriate nod to the purse that the KC Chiefs owners, the Hunts, gifted Taylor for her birthday last year - which was by this same designer, but a microphone. But it turns out the purse was indeed a gift - just from Shaq!

Dion Lee ‘Crochet Corset Top’ - $720.00

There’s a few different callbacks on display here with this bustier alone which when paired with a ton of gold accessories, and a red jacket remind me very much of Taylor’s outfit from her third game (October 12, Broncos vs Chiefs). Taylor also of course wore a Versace corset top like this one the night she and Travis walked hand in hand in NYC following Taylor’s cameo appearance at SNL to introduce Ice Spice.

But more importantly is the diplomatic dressing on display here. This happens to be Taylor’s first time wearing Dion Lee who is an Australian fashion designer. To me, this reads as a nice callout to the fact that Taylor has Aussie fans on the brain as she’ll of course be heading there next on the Eras Tour (first Melbourne, then Sydney).

Wear by EA ‘Bomber Jacket’ - $140.00

Leading up to the Super Bowl, many TSSers have asked for a predictions post of what I thought she might wear. Truthfully? I didn’t think one was necessary. Not because the occasion isn’t a huge and momentous one - but because 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.

With that, my predictions heading into this day was something black, red, with a touch of gold and a ton of sentimental value to it. Which is what we see on display here.

The combination of a black base + WEAR by EA jacket + black bustier top to me immediately harkened back to her third game - Broncos vs Chiefs on October 12 (check stories for a micro Fashion History with TSS lesson). But within this outfit itself, there are other great throwbacks to other moments in Taylor’s evolution as game day observer.

The bustier references the Balenciaga one worn to the aforementioned game, but that also bears similarities to the Versace one worn during the #killahardlaunch from October 14 when Taylor and Travis first appeared on the streets of NYC following Taylor’s cameo at SNL that night.

The embllishements harken back to the blue distressed shorts she wore to her second game on October 1 which were by the same brand (as were the butterfly jeans she wore in that first post-split candid back in April) and the colour to the dark wash Ksubi shorts she wore to her very first game on September 24.

Ending her season in this manner, with callbacks to both her style and relationship journey, feels intrinsically Taylor who has leveraged her style over the course of this season to center smaller designers (especially female-owned ones like #WearbyEA or ones local to KC), in Chiefs-oriented colours, formulated into casual but chic game day outfits that befit someone happy to be an enthusiastic spectator.

Grammy after-party dress | Los Angeles, CA | February 4, 2024

Valentino Garavani ‘Sequin Embroidered Sheer Cocktail Dress’ - $18,000.00

I’ll reserve full thoughts should we receive HQ photos but my current suspicions for Taylor’s fun after party dress look is this one.

The Tortured Poets Department | April 19, 2024

Saint Laurent ‘Silk Tank Top’ - $650.00
The Row ‘Ausra Brief’ - $790.00

Our first look at a new era. 

With so little to go off of, there’s still much to parse here. Between the bedsheets, the pose, and (of course) the clothes - a pair of briefs and a slinky tank falling off the shoulder - to me evokes a combination of both intimacy and guardedness. Soft and vulnerable, but a little careworn and protective. This is the balancing act I think Taylor’s been playing with her whole life (an open heart revealed through deliberate acts) but feels painted in a more (pun intended) black and white way on this album cover. Even the sheerness of the top that plays with transparency, but only how much she permits, strikes me. 

And, it turns out, Taylor wearing The Row (and toting a few new YSL bags too) so much over the last few months was no coincidence (is there ever one with Taylor, really?). Her cozy selects appear to be (as confirmed by her stylist) to be this sheer tank and ribbed brief by YSL and The Row. 

While there’s so much about this album’s themes and sound that we don’t know - it’s of course fun to guess! The idea of the tortured artist to me sounds like it has the opportunity to explore the self-loathing andthe satire Taylor has previously toyed with on both “Anti-Hero” and “Blank Space”. Both the sincere truth of self-analyzing a life of being a tortured poet herself while also poking fun at the muses in her life who have aped at being tortured poets - perhaps delivered with a tongue firmly in cheek accompanied by a smirk and an eyeroll. 

I’m excited to see what awaits us and learn more about this project as well as your Critically Kind thoughts.
