Every outfit Taylor Swift wears on the Eras Tour, ranked
Taylor Swift performs during the Eras Tour in Miami.
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
The yellow dress is paired with the orange “1989” outfit.
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
Taylor Swift performs in France.
It’s too orange.
65.surprise song dress in green
The green dress is paired with the green “1989” outfit.
The green dress isn’t ugly, but it’s not especially notable either.
64.The surprise song dress in pink
The pink dress is paired with the pink “1989” outfit.
The original pink variant still isn’t anything to write home about, but generally speaking, Swift looks good in pink.
63.surprise song dress in the other shade of pink
Taylor Swift performs in France.
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
The blue dress is paired with the blue “1989” outfit.
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
Taylor Swift performs in France.
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
Taylor Swift performs in Miami.
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
There are six different gowns for the “Speak Now” segment.
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)
Taylor Swift performs in France.
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
Taylor Swift performs in Glendale, Arizona.
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
Taylor Swift performs in Atlanta, Georgia.
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
Taylor Swift performs during the Eras Tour in Milan.
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
Taylor Swift performs in Kansas City, Missouri.
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
Taylor Swift performs in Santa Clara, California.
Silver is slightly better than gold, but the tassels still look like octopus tentacles.
52. The cupcake-shaped “Speak Now” ballgown
Taylor Swift performs at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
It’s too puffy!
51. The “Karma” jacket in pink
Taylor Swift performs in Tampa, Florida.
It’s too pink!
50. “Midnights” in pink and purple
Taylor Swift performs during the Eras Tour.
This is a much nicer shade of pink.
49. “Midnights” in double purple
Taylor Swift performs in Philadelphia.
This is a classic combination, but it lacks contrast and intrigue.
48.”Midnights” in blue and purple
Taylor Swift performs in Hamburg, Germany.
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
Taylor Swift performs in Glendale, Arizona.
This version of the T-shirt dress is slightly elevated, with multicolored gems scattered across the fabric.
46. The “Lavender Haze” look
Taylor Swift performs in Denver, Colorado.
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
Taylor Swift performs in Denver, Colorado.
Blue-on-blue is a logical combo for the closing number, if a little predictable.
44.The “Karma” jacket with extra colors
Taylor Swift performs in Kansas City, Missouri.
Chaotic, yet fun.
43.”Karma” jacket in magenta
Taylor Swift performs during the Eras Tour.
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
Taylor Swift performs “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” in London.
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. I thought we left this trend behind in 2010.
Worse still, the lyrics scrawled on the fabric (“I love you, it’s ruining my life,” from the single “Fortnight,” and “Who’s afraid of little old me? You should be”) make it look like Swift is wearing a high-school theater costume, not a couture Vivienne Westwood gown.
41. The “Tortured Poets” military jacket
Taylor Swift performs in France.
Swift adds a military jacket atop her “Tortured Poets” gown to sing “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” an impassioned performance that casts Swift as a soldier on the front lines of a battlefield. The look is still a little corny, but at least it fully embraces the theatrical costume vibe.
“I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”
Taylor Swift performs in France.
After singing “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” Swift and her dancers perform a brief skit, in which Swift is forced to strip off her dress, put on heels, and smile through the pain.
The onstage outfit change yields a bralette and matching high-waisted bottoms, subsequently topped with a duster. The different color combos include black and gold, white with silver accents, and sparkly gray with a metallic jacket.
These ensembles recall the jackets and two-piece sets from The 1989 World Tour, combined with the ringmaster motif from the “Red” era.
At the time, Swift was battling an eating disorder and often feared she might faint onstage.
While the new Eras Tour outfit is relatively simple, this callback adds an extra layer of poignance to Swift’s performance of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
39. “Folklore” in yellow
Taylor Swift performs in France.
The tiered and embroidered “Folklore” outfits, custom-made by Alberta Ferretti, are almost always winners. The flowy style makes Swift look like a friendly witch, much like her recent collaborator Florence Welch, which is a compliment.
However, the yellow one doesn’t suit the era’s aesthetic one bit. The mismatch is especially glaring during “My Tears Ricochet,” which is intended to parallel a funeral procession.
This dress was likely designed to evoke the fusion of “Folklore” and “Evermore” into one segment, which came with Swift’s newly altered setlist for the European leg. But still, as we previously established, yellow should not be in Swift’s color palette. It doesn’t suit her.
38. “Folklore” in pink
Taylor Swift performs in France.
Swift unveiled a berry-pink rendition of the woodsy “Folklore” gown during her second show in France.
The shade is stunning in a vacuum, but much like my previous complaint, it’s the wrong color for the sister albums segment of the show.
The songs that populate “Folklore” and “Evermore” are full of yearning, betrayal, regret, depression, and even murder. These are not the hot-girl party bops of “1989” or “Midnights,” which call for brighter hues and more pizzazz.
And if you think I’m being too nitpicky, I’ll kindly remind you that Swift has embraced each album’s individual color theory, down to the official Eras Tour branding. I’m simply following her lead.
37. The classic “Evermore” dress
Taylor Swift performs in Cincinnati, Ohio.
For the majority of the US leg, Swift only had one look for the “Evermore” segment: a mustard-yellow dress that screams cottagecore. It’s cute but nothing particularly special, and it did grow a little dull over time.
Note: There is a slightly less saturated version of this dress, but they’re so similar, they don’t warrant separate entries on this list.
36.The bronze “Evermore” dress
Taylor Swift and HAIM perform in Seattle, Washingto
Swift has only worn this alternate “Evermore” dress a handful of times, but it made for a nice change of pace — and the deep, sparkling bronze compliments the moody, wintery vibe of songs like “‘Tis the Damn Season,” “Champagne Problems,” and “Tolerate It.”
35.The “Speak Now” ballgown in gold
Taylor Swift performs during the Eras Tour.
The ballgown is a callback to the Speak Now World Tour, when Swift wore sparkly gowns while singing “Enchanted.” For the Eras Tour, Swift pumped up the drama with voluminous skirts and embroidered jewels.
The gold version is fine but it does look slightly cheaper than its counterparts, like an extravagant prom dress.
34.The “Speak Now” ballgown in silver
Taylor Swift performs in Cincinnati, Ohio.
As opposed to muted gold, silver offers a lovely contrast with the purple visuals of “Speak Now.”
33.The “Speak Now” ballgown in pink
Taylor Swift performs in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The baby-pink version of the “Speak Now” ballgown is the best among the original set of options, with its flattering neckline and strips of sparkles that resemble falling rain.
32. The “Fearless” dress in black and gold
Taylor Swift performs during the Eras Tour in Milan.
This newer “Fearless” look, which Swift debuted in Milan, is a solid, mid-tier choice. It’s much better than the era’s stringy options, though it doesn’t measure up to the original fringed minidress.
31. The “Fearless” dress with metallic fringe
Taylor Swift performs in France.
Swift debuted this version of the “Fearless” minidress in France, gleefully tossing her body around to show off the shimmery fringe. Again, it’s a mid-tier option, but definitely more fun and fresh than its Italian counterpart.
30. The “Lover” bodysuit with purple tassels
Taylor Swift performs in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The deep purple hue made for an exciting change when Swift debuted this look in East Rutherford, New Jersey — but the tassels throw off the whole effect. They make the bodysuit look sillier and cheaper than it is.
29. “1989” in orange
Taylor Swift performs in Houston, Texas.
The orange set is nice, but it’s the weakest link of the original Roberto Cavalli sets (and it signals that she’ll wear the yellow surprise-song dress. Yuck).
Maybe it’s a subtle Easter egg for “Karma,” the rumored album that Swift scrapped between “1989” and “Reputation.” (In the music video for “The Man,” the word is graffitied on the wall in orange paint.)
28. “1989” in green
Taylor Swift performs in Glendale, Arizona.
The green is prettier than orange, but not as pretty as pink.
27. “1989” in pink
Taylor Swift performs at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Although hot pink isn’t quite right for the overall vibe of “1989,” it does pair well with the feminine charm of “Blank Space” and the fiery passion of “Bad Blood.”
26. “1989” in blue
Taylor Swift performs in Buenos Aires.
After 26 concerts, we finally got to see Swift perform songs from “1989” wearing the album’s distinctive color. This glittering blue set recalls the New York City skyline that inspired Swift’s iconic pop songs.
25.The “Midnights” bodysuit with millennial charm
Taylor Swift performs in France.
This newer version of the “Midnights” bodysuit was designed by Zuhair Murad and unveiled in France. It subtly evokes millennial fashion trends with a halter neckline, waist slits, and a chevron-esque pattern.
24.The “Midnights” bodysuit with cutouts
Taylor Swift performs at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California
This version of the “Midnights” bodysuit, which Swift debuted in Los Angeles, is likely designed to resemble an outfit that Swift wore during the 1989 World Tour.
It’s one of her most daring looks yet, but the sheer patches in the abdomen look a little strange.
23. The new “Reputation” outfit
Taylor Swift performs in Miami.
For over a year, Swifties had been jonesing for an updated “Reputation” costume — largely because they believed a new look would come paired with an announcement for “Reputation (Taylor’s Version),” in the same way Swift debuted blue outfits on the same night that she announced “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”
Alas, when Swift finally emerged wearing a new asymmetric catsuit in Miami, no such announcement came — and that’s not the only reason this version is a letdown.
Swapping the red snakes for gold cobras does make thematic sense given the album’s many references to the color (gold bodies, gold cages, gold tattoos), but these ones are extra chunky and extra sparkly, like tinsel you find at the party store, rather than lithe and fierce like Swift’s original serpents. It’s a fun change of pace for the “Reputation” segment, but a downgrade nonetheless.
22. The “Lover” bodysuit in blue and yellow
Taylor Swift performs in London.
The glitzy “Lover” bodysuits, custom-made by Versace, are an aesthetic highlight of Swift’s Eras Tour wardrobe.
However, compared to its peers, there’s something slightly underwhelming about the blue-and-yellow color combination. The tones are too muted to complement the show’s opening visuals.
21. The “Lover” bodysuit in orange and pink
Taylor Swift performs in France.
In theory, this is a strong color combo; it reminds me of a sunset. In reality, the bodysuit is just slightly too orange.
20. “The Man” blazer in tangerine
The blue blazer is paired with the orange-pink bodysuit.
Swift slips a bedazzled blazer over her “Lover” bodysuit to perform “The Man” and “You Need to Calm Down.” The latest iteration is a pretty pale orange, though it doesn’t feel quite as commanding as the other options.
19. “The Man” blazer in silver
Taylor Swift performs during the Eras Tour in Lisbon.
The glittering silver blazer was the first costume change ever seen during the Eras Tour. With the matching red-bottomed Christian Louboutin boots, it remains an effective mix of elements.
18. “The Man” blazer in blue
The blue blazer is paired with the purple, tasseled bodysuit.
We all love the silver blazer, but the blue blazer is extremely hot.
17. “The Man” blazer in black
Taylor Swift performs in Santa Clara, California.
The black blazer is even hotter than blue.
16. The “Speak Now” ballgown in blue
Taylor Swift performs in Los Angeles.
Although blue isn’t the traditional “Speak Now” color, nearly everything about this dress is dazzling, from the floral details to the elegant train.
Plus, the color recalls a sky-blue ballgown that Swift wore during the original “Speak Now” tour in 2011, giving this look an extra layer of nostalgic charm.
15. “Folklore” in blue
Taylor Swift performs in Los Angeles.
The sheer, baby-blue cape sleeves are lovely, but this color isn’t quite the right fit for “Folklore,” which is not a blue-sounding album in the slightest. (“1989” and “Midnights” already have that vibe locked down.)
14. “Folklore” in purple
Taylor Swift performs in Glendale, Arizona
“Folklore” isn’t a purple-sounding album either, but this dress does look like something a young widow might wear in a Jane Austen film adaptation, so it works.
“13.Folklore” in cream
Taylor Swift performs in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Cream is a fitting color for “Folklore,” an album that evokes earthy and neutral tones.
12. “Folklore” with lace
Taylor Swift performs in Denver.
This is only slightly different from “Folklore” in cream, but the lace adds a new edge — romantic and old-timey, well-suited for the “pioneer woman in a forbidden love affair” that Swift imagined while she was writing these songs.
11. The “Speak Now” ballgown with embellishments
Taylor Swift performs during the Eras Tour in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The “Speak Now” gown that Swift debuted in France is the best one yet.
The skirt has just enough volume to look elegant instead of puffy — while the delicate, glittering details evoke a similar dress that Swift wore to perform “Enchanted” in 2011 (designed by Reem Acra), which is currently on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.
10. The “Fearless” dress in silver and blue
Taylor Swift performs in Miami.
Like the original “Fearless” minidress, Swift’s newest iteration was custom-made by Roberto Cavalli’s creative director Fausto Puglisi.
The blue crystals, set against a shimmering silver backdrop, appear arranged to resemble a butterfly — most likely as a callback to the girlish, doodle-filled cover of Swift’s self-titled debut album.
“Taylor Swift” doesn’t get its own segment on the Eras Tour, so it feels right to pay homage while Swift performs her other high school-era album.
9. The original “Midnights” bodysuit
Taylor Swift performs in Nashville.
The navy bodysuit is an Eras Tour classic, dark and twinkling like midnight rain.
8. The celestial “Midnights” bodysuit
Taylor Swift performs during the Eras Tour in London.
Swift debuted her newest Zuhair Murad bodysuit at Wembley Stadium in London, the final stop on the European leg of the Eras Tour. With its star-spangled bodice and crescent-moon detail, it’s the most on-the-nose “Midnights” look to ever exist.
7. “Folklore” in green
Taylor Swift performs in Chicago.
Out of all the flowy “Folklore” gowns, green is the prettiest and best suited for the album’s aura. It makes Swift look like a woodland fairy.
6. The original “Fearless” dress
Taylor Swift performs in Glendale, Arizona.
Swift’s flapper-inspired dress is ideal for performing classics like “You Belong With Me” and “Love Story.” The fringe is fun and youthful, just like the original “Fearless” era, but paired with knee-high Chrisian Louboutin boots, it’s still chic and modern.
In fact, according to Vogue, the dress is designed to resemble a similar Roberto Cavalli dress that Swift wore during her original “Fearless” tour.
“We chose a beautiful champagne color, which is very Taylor,” Puglisi told the magazine.
5. The original “Reputation” outfit
Taylor Swift performs in Wales.

For 130 consecutive shows, Swift wore the same one-legged catsuit to perform “Reputation.” Some have slandered this consistency as boring, but in my professional opinion, a classic proverb is more appropriate here: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
This red reptilian number, also by Roberto Cavalli, is bold and sexy with a hint of danger, just like the album itself. Puglisi described it as “more of a badass, rock and roll look.”
4. The scalloped “Midnights” bodysuit
Taylor Swift performs in Las Vegas.
Stars and moons are great, but there is something especially ethereal about this version of the “Midnights” bodysuit, custom-made by Oscar de la Renta.
The blue has a slightly warmer, richer tone — a better match for Swift’s ocean eyes and pinkish undertones than navy — and the scalloped detailing on the bodice is exquisite up close. Paired with Swift’s now-signature garter, this look is a total knockout.
3. “The Man” blazer in hot pink
Taylor Swift performs in Dublin..Swift looks like a Barbie come to life in this version of the blazer, which she debuted onstage in Argentina. It also gives her performance of “The Man” a flirty, feminine edge.
2. The “Lover” bodysuit in pink and red
Taylor Swift performs in Buenos Aires.
Swift also debuted this pink version of her opening look in Argentina. The gorgeous combination of shades, from baby pink to strawberry and fuchsia, compliments the tone of songs like “Cruel Summer” and “Lover.”
1. The original “Lover” bodysuit
Taylor Swift performs on the opening night of the Eras Tour.
This was the first outfit Swift wore when she arrived on The Eras Tour stage back in March, and to this day, it remains the best.
The blue, purple, and pink gems create the perfect color combo, especially suited for the warmth and whimsy of the “Lover” era.
