The Eras Tour | Lover section | Version 5

Versace custom bodysuit and blazer Christian Louboutin custom boots

Like we were (new outfits) in Paris! After about four fortnights off, Taylor brought the Eras Tour back for its European leg in France. And with this new leg comes a handful of setlist changes (sections moved! songs omitted! Tortured Poets added!) and, more importantly, costume changes.

The first of course is a new tequila sunrise-y bodysuit, boots, and blazer ensemble for the opening Lover set. This particular version makes five variants for this portion of the show.

One of my favourite moments in the Eras Tour is how the Lover set seems to fulfill Taylor’s original vision of a summer festival moment (that we likely would have had with the sadly cancelled Lover Fest) and that its colourways seem to mimic that of a sunset.

The Eras Tour | RED section | Version 4

Ashish Sequin Tee - custom

During the RED set I wasn't just confused because it was the first set to have moved from its original spot in the setlist, but Taylor's new shirt saying took me aback.

Firstly, we haven't had a new addition costume-wise to this set since the early days of the tour. You might recall that Version 3 of the shirt (featuring "We Are Never Ever" lyrics) was added in March 2023 during the show's first three-day run in Arlington, Texas.

This phrase also took me aback because it's our first in the series that isn't a direct callback to an established moment within the RED era lexicon. In addition to the aforementioned V3's lyrics, Version 1 ("Not A Lot Going On") is a direct lift from the "22" music video costuming and Version 2 also features "22" lyrics ("Who's Taylor Swift Anyway? Ew.").

So what does this particular phrase mean?

To me one of the key functions of the Eras Tour, especially in the form of its costuming, has been toeing the line between referencing eras of the past while also giving them a slightly refreshed, modern facelift. We saw that in the fringed dresses of Fearless, the dramatic princess ballgowns of Speak Now, and the matching sets of 1989. But as we also saw tonight in Paris, all of those respective outfits got what I suppose we could call a 'makeunder'. Which is to say, they all took a time machine to more closely resemble their original, canonical tour ensembles and not the refreshed 'Taylor Versions' we've seen thus far on the Eras Tour in 2023/24.

But why is she now beginning to more overtly replicate instead of subtly reference? Something to think about!

The Eras Tour | The Tortured Poets Department section | Version 1

Vivienne Westwood custom

I have a lot of thoughts on TTPD section (the setlist! the theatrics!). But the most important thought I have on my mind is that I accurately predicted that this costume would be by the queen of corsets Vivienne Westwood. Couldn’t picture a better designer for it!

The Eras Tour | folkmore section | Version 6

Alberta Ferretti custom

Between its new place in the setlist, "cardigan" usurping "the 1" (which had previously taken the place of "invisible string") as an opener, and the two pandemic albums combining into one super set it took me a long time to actually accept this was a new folklore gown. Mostly because, if my eyes aren't deceiving me, this is the first time we're getting a new folklore gown that's a repeat silhouette - just a different colour. If I'm not mistaken, V6 is a yellow version of the V2 white gown (which appeared in the Eras Tour Movie).

All of the folklore (or should I now be saying folkmore?) gowns are custom pieces by Alberta Ferretti and have shared similar design elements (a maxi length, flowing sleeves, ruffles, subtle embroidery to catch the stage lights). But they've each had unique necklines and embroidery details until what appears to be now.

"So, you’re the first crowd ever to see The Tortured Poets Department, or as I’d like to call it, Female Rage (The Musical). There’s a song that I’ve been wanting to play in the acoustic set on the Eras Tour ever since I wrote it, and I was only going to play it for the very first time in one specific city."

— Taylor before playing Paris (guitar) in Paris, France on May 9th
