Taylor Swift is known for her wholesome girl-next-door image as she appeals to women and girls all around the world with lyrics about love and heartache – but many fans have spotted her post-Eras Tour style has moved in a new direction.
The American pop stars’ fans are noticing that she appears to be entering into ha new Era, with the billionaire beauty swapping out summer dresses, denim and plaid shirts for corsets and leather.
Taylor, 34, turned heads as she took to the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet in a racy yellow and black plaid top half and open skirt – revealing black hot shorts that matched her thigh-high boots and leather lace up gloves New York on Wednesday night.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, a fan asked: ‘Is Taylor Swift…sexy????’ They added: ‘She’s always been classically beautiful undoubtedly but I’ve never really looked at her and thought DAMN she’s hot. But lately ….’
Another said: ‘Honestly, never paid that much attention to her. But lately… she definitely stepped up her sexy persona. I did a few double takes… damn; is she trying to do Madonna (not quite) or just expressing herself (I am falling in love). Go lady. Do your thing.’
Someone else said: ‘Me too! Her first VMA look tonight had me thinking she was sexy for the first time ever!’
All eyes were on Taylor at the VMAs as she oozed confidence in the Dior Resort 2025 ensemble, with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry including 30 carat pear-shaped canary yellow diamond earrings surrounded by black jade.
Taylor, who was the winner of the night with seven gongs, looked incredible in the edgy Dior look, showcasing her statuesque frame.
The 14-time Grammy award winning singer – who is in a relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce – wowed in the plaid dress with the open centre – revealing her tiny thigh-grazing shorts beneath.
The corset style dress displayed her curves and the star added lace up gloves that went up to her shoulders, finishing up the look with leather boots.
It was a history-making night for Taylor as she became the most decorated solo artist ever by seven VMAs, taking her total number to 30 Moonmen. She is technically tied with Beyonce at that number but the Cowboy Carter artist had previously won two with her former girl group Destiny’s Child.
The pop star changed into a second out-of-this world look during the night which was a custom Monse mini-dress embellished with a UFO design.
The sizzling ensemble featured leather buckles on the straps and she paired the sparking frock with thigh high leather boots.
Last week Taylor stole the show with her sexiest look yet as fans went wild for her double denim hot pants and corset combination while she was at her boyfriend’s NFL game.
The double denim moment was markedly different to the billionaire pop star’s usual ensembles when supporting KCC, which typically include cosy knitted sweaters, jeans, and her trademark bold red lip.
Taylor cut a glamorous figure in a tight £1,000 Versace corset, denim hot pants, and thigh-high Giuseppe Zanotti boots worth £1250 with a £2,996 Louis Vuitton handbag.
Taylor’s dazzling display is worlds away from the low-key outfits she typically wears when supporting her beau.
Taylor has changed her look drastically throughout the years, as well as her music, going from country music star to global pop sensation.
Each music era has shown a new side of her, a new sound, and a new look, she keeps reinventing herself.
Swift smartly pointed out in her 2020 documentary Miss Americana, reinvention is something she has to do to stay relevant.
‘Female artists have to reinvent themselves so many more times than male artists, or else you’re out of a job,’ she said.
‘Live out a narrative that we find interesting enough to entertain us, but not so crazy that it makes us uncomfortable.’
Taylor was one of the first signings to country music label Big Machine Records. She entered into the limelight looking fresh faced and unrefined with long blonde curly hair, mini dresses and cowboy boots.
Her girl-next-door appearance was made complete with barely there makeup and her untamed locks.
In 2006, the singer/songwriter released ‘Tim McGraw’ as the lead single off her self titled debut album.
The album received rave reviews, with its third single, ‘Our Song,’ making the crooner the youngest artist in history to have written and performed a No.1 song on the Hot Country Songs chart.
In 2008, she released her sophomore studio album, ‘Fearless.’ While still country, it had mainstream pop appeal – and so did her wardrobe!
By the end of 2009, ‘Fearless’ was the top-selling album of the year, complete with chart toppers ‘Love Story’ and the VMA award-winning ‘You Belong With Me.’
With her new found success came a more polished and pulled together look and a new sleek and sculpted mane.
She swapped her cowboy boots for high heels, and we were introduced to her now-signature red lip.
For the Video Music Awards that year, she donned a sequined Kaufman Franco gown, and Lorraine Schwartz diamonds.
A-line dresses have been a choice silhouette of Taylor’s for several years. She was especially fond of them in 2012.
Hitting just above the knee, the age-appropriate shape was sweet and demure with a hint of sexy.
Her 4th studio album ‘Red’ featuring ’22’ and ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ was released in October of 2012.
She earned both critical praise and commercial success for the album. She also started dating English singer, songwriter and actor, Harry Styles during that time.
The public couple were spotted on several occasions walking hand-in-hand in similar preppy ensembles.
With the help of celeb stylist Joseph Castell and her musical success, the country sweetheart’s wardrobe became much more refined with high-end designer labels.
‘I go through different phases,’ Taylor told Access back in 2012. ‘Right now, I’m in a very kind of vintage dress phase.’
The star embraced (and mastered!) the retro chic look in striped nautical prints, collared dresses, high-waisted bottoms, bowler hats and ladylike framed handbags.
Taylor had predominantly been a country artist that dabbled in pop until 2014 with her fifth studio album, ‘1989.’
She called the effort her ‘first documented, official pop album,’ even dubbing it her favorite to date.
She won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2016 and our hearts with her new serious sartorial risks.
At the Video Music Awards she tossed her modest dress code book out the window for a daring romper by Mary Katrantzou.
No matter what she’s wearing or how much skin she’s showing, Taylor always manages to look classy and elegant.
Showing off her style versatility, the southern cutie ditched her favored mini dress silhouette for a custom Michael Kors column gown at the 2014 American Music Awards.
The emerald number featured a cut-out at the waist that showed off her toned tummy. Her effortlessly chic and modern getup was made complete with soft waves and pretty makeup.
At the 58th Annual Grammy Awards she accepted the Grammy for Album of the Year for ‘1989’ in a red crop top paired with a cheeky hot-pink skirt by Atelier Versace.
Looking sexier than ever, she closed out the award show season in a black Alexandre Vauthier gown that featured a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit.
With her album ‘Reputation’ came a new look for the 29 year old in 2018. She went back to her natural blonde hair but held on to her edgy ensembles.
At the American Music Awards she donned a head-to-toe mirrored Balmain look, complete with thigh-high boots and rectangular earrings.
She put her once preferred retro aesthetic to rest off the carpet, too, in favor of more casual garb.
At the 2019 American Music Awards Taylor was honored as the Artist of The Decade, beating Michael Jackson’s record of 24 all-time wins.
For the very special occasion she performed a career-spanning medley of hits including ‘Love Story,’ ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ and ‘Shake It Off.’
On the red carpet she wore a deep green fully embroidered Julien Macdonald gown and black Casadei thigh-high boots, paving the way for her new era.
During her world Eras tour the 34-year-old singer began to bring the sex appeal, going through a total of 13 impressive outfit changes, wowing crowds with her glittering garments.
Donning mostly sequin bodysuits with knee high boots or heels as she strutted around the stage.
