There’s no denying that Taylor Swift has reached iconic status. The 34-year-old singer has the ability to make a fashion statement even in a simple pair of leggings. Known as a “mother” figure to many, Swift is celebrated for her hit songs and fearless attitude, especially when it comes to her red carpet looks. From dropping hints about unreleased music to her love for the color Midnight Blue, Swift’s style truly represents who she is. She doesn’t just follow trends, she embodies her own unique individuality (with a touch of sparkle). Just like her music, Swift’s fashion choices are a reflection of the various phases of her career.
Ever since her first appearance on the red carpet at the 2006 Country Music Television Awards, the singer of “Fifteen” has been captivating the cameras in elegant gowns, stylish dresses, and chic suits inspired by Folklore.
