If there is one event that we’ve been counting down to, it is the day that Taylor Swift’s Eras tour arrives in the UK. Seriously, we’ve even got a countdown on our phones. But when Taylor returned to the stage in Paris we were all gagged to find out that her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, had been added to the setlist – even though it made us want to say, 'So long👋' to our original outfit plans.
Now, if you’re new to the Swiftie scene you may not know much about this era. TTPD-inspired outfits are best described as Reputation’s vintage-loving friend. Oh, and that friend is also pining after the smallest man that ever lived, so she’s feeling pretty sad even when she’s at a party.
We’re talking Victoriana silhouettes, lace details with hints of darkness in a monochrome colour palette. And unlike other eras like 1989 or Lover, there’s no need to go all out with the glitter and sequins, the TTPD girl is fresh out the slammer – she hasn’t got the time for sparkles.
So if you want to act like it’s your birthday but don’t fancy getting all bejewelled, then this is the era for you.

Taylor Swift’s TTPD Tour Outfits
When Taylor popped up on the Parisian stage, she was an absolute vision in white. Strutting her stuff in a custom Vivienne Westwood dress adorned with her latest lyrics (like we didn’t know them already), this look made us feel like we were in high school.
And if that wasn’t enough for us, Taylor obviously had to add a little shimmer to the TTPD performance with a little help from her spangly showgirl look - after all, this era is a musical about female rage.
