Taylor Swift uses fashion during the ‘Eras ​​Tour’ to drop Easter eggs. Her new outfits help fans search for clues.

Taylor Swift fans are grappling with a bittersweet reality: the end of the “Eras Tour.” Swift will end her tour, which first kicked off in March 2023, in Vancouver, where she will play three consecutive shows on December 6, 7 and 8. In almost two years, the pop star has taken her three-hour spectacle to 14. countries and played more than 150 shows in sold-out stadiums in 54 cities.

Since her first show in Glendale, Ariz., Swift has broken up her tour with a curated rotation of looks that fans practically know by heart. Swifties have even turned it into a fantasy game. Known as ‘Swiftball’, fans can do some surprising numbers before each performance, which outfits she will wear.

For Swifties, intentionality is at the core of the pop star’s artistry.

“It’s one of those places [Swift] has confirmed that she is leaving Easter eggs,” Jordan Johnson, a Swift fan who has attended the “Eras Tour” seven times, told Yahoo Entertainment about Swift’s evolving wardrobe. “We can easily define which era [she] comes in just by looking at her style, so the ‘Eras ​​Tour’ was a seamless transition to this! Her outfits changed as she changed the set, allowing her to be super expressive on stage.

Swift is known for her hidden messages. Every aspect of the tour, from the set list to the clothing choices, serves a greater purpose. Fans are steadfast in the fact that Swift is just like her Midnights track suggests, is a mastermind. As she wore a series of new outfits during her tours in Paris, Milan and Miami, no detail went unnoticed.

To usher in her final era with her eleventh studio album, The department of tortured poetsSwift debuted a series of custom Vivienne Westwood Couture designs on May 9 in Paris. Among the newly debuted looks was a draped, corseted dress with the lyrics “I love you, it’s ruining my life,” from the album’s lead single, “Fortnight,” printed. Swift wore another corseted dress at her July 13 show in Milan, with black crystals that read “Who’s afraid of little old me?” You should be…,” from her song “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?”

“The typewriter was a theme in this chapter of her work, so printing it as such on the gowns revealed how tormented and stuck she felt as she repeated the text over and over, like a broken record” , says Courtney Bissinger, a Swift-focused content creator, told Yahoo about the decision to include it The department of tortured poets texts on the garments themselves.

After a two-month hiatus, Swift sent fans into a frenzy on October 18 when she debuted a new rendition of the asymmetrical black catsuit she wears on the show. Reputation performing on stage in Miami.

True to the snake-infused imagery of the era, the newly tailored Roberto Cavalli outfit featured a statement gold cobra that extended from her leg to her body. For many fans, the decision is to make a new debut Reputation-themed outfit was intentional. To them, it seemed like that’s what Swift was trying to imply Reputation (Taylor’s version) – the long-awaited re-recorded version of her 2017 album of the same name – was on its way.

“Of Reputation (Taylor’s version) on the horizon, [fans] are always looking for an idea when it will be dropped. When she changed from red to gold Reputation bodysuit [on tour]we knew it was a small step forward to get the re-release,” said Jen, a member of the fandom who asked Yahoo to use her first name for privacy reasons.

“The Reputation which was set during the ‘Eras ​​Tour’ had always had one bodysuit,” Bissinger said. “From the first night in Glendale, Arizona, to her 131st show in London, England. Of all eras on tour, Reputation was the only era where one bodysuit existed, while the others had more than five.”

These aren’t the only redesigned ensembles Swift has worn on the “Eras Tour.”

Swift debuted new takes on her favorite Roberto Cavalli looks, like the chiffon wrap dress she wears during her acoustic set and the crystal-embellished bustier minidress she wears for her. Fearless (Taylor’s version) set. Nicole + Felicia’s ball gown she wears for the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) act has turned into shades and silhouettes, just like her heavenly, midnight-themed Zuhair Murad bodysuit. For her, Swift browses a selection of ethereal Alberta Ferretti dresses in earth tones Folklore And Always set. Her crystal Loverera bodysuit, designed by Donatella Versace, has also appeared on the “Eras Tour” stage in various colorways.

As Swift heads into her final three shows, fans continue to analyze her onstage wardrobe. They also wonder whether she will bring back previously worn designs or debut new ones in Vancouver.

“I am very hopeful that she will pull out all the stops for the final weekend of the ‘Eras ​​Tour’,” said Bissinger. “Like [Swift] isn’t choosing to debut any new outfit variations, but I do think it’s likely she’ll bring out fan favorite outfits and ones she may have been holding back for a while to end with a bang.

Whether it’s an original or updated ensemble, fans can’t get enough of Swift’s “Eras Tour” wardrobe. It will be hard to say goodbye, Bissinger admitted.

“As a fan and Swiftoker, to be able to determine what story Taylor is telling us through the color choices and design elements of the outfit feels like [an] insider message that only she and I (or Swifties, part of the fandom) know,” she said. “Every moment is cherished and celebrated, but no matter how many shows happen, it will never be the ‘right’ time for Swifties to end it all.”
