Now you can go forth and rock an on-theme look when you attend her next concert.
The Life Of a Showgirl Album: Sparkles & Diamonds
This brand-new Taylor Swift album is her most glamorous to date! The artwork shows her lying in a pool of water wearing a diamond-encrusted showgirl costume with glitzy orange text.
So when it’s time to dress up for the next concert, get ready to bring out your sparkly outfits! I’m talking about sequins, diamonds, bling, and feathers.
These incredible Swarovski bejeweled cat-eye sunglasses resemble the sparkly bra in the latest album artwork. You could rock them with a silver mini dress or sequin skirt.
Tortured Poets Department Album: Minimalist Monochrome
In 2024, Taylor Swift released the introspective Tortured Poets Department. The cover art was soft, classic, and minimalist, reflecting some of Taylor’s fashion choices from this era.
This pair of Vogue sunglasses fits the theme. The classic shape and subtle color will look great with everything from dark academia looks to casual whimsical dresses.
Midnights Album: Dark Romance
The Midnights album was released in 2022. The album artwork and tour costumes were moody and dramatic, with lots of blues and purples thrown in. The visuals were ‘70s-inspired with retro touches.
These vintage Miu Miu oval sunglasses fit the midnight imagery with their dark blue lenses. They pair well with retro looks, brown corduroy, and preppy outfits, as seen in Taylor’s ”Anti-Hero” video.
Evermore and Folklore Albums: Whimsical Vibes
The Folklore/Evermore era (both albums were released in 2020) is when lots of people fell in love with her music. These Taylor Swift albums were released in the same year because she couldn’t stop writing music at the time. And it was the pandemic, so it’s no surprise!
This recommendation will push your styling, whether it’s for your next concert look or if you love the folklore era in general. These stunning Gucci frames are whimsical and would look great with everything from dark brown winter clothes to flowing summer dresses.
Lover Album: Pretty in Pink
The Lover album was a splash of power pink. The album art and tour outfits featured bubblegum colors and sweet, fun, and flirty looks. Unapologetically pretty and girly.
For a Lover-inspired look, opt for… you guessed it, pink sunglasses.
This pair of fairytale pink sunglasses by Dries Van Noten is perfect for coordinating with a delicate color palette. Think purple, cream, lilac, and butter yellow.
Or, if you prefer bubblegum pink, opt for a pair of classic aviators with tinted lenses like this pair by Versace.
Reputation Album: Edgy and Bold
The Reputation album was released in 2017, and it showed that Taylor was a force to be reckoned with. She just kept churning out the hits and Grammy-winning albums. Reputation was proof that there was no slowing Taylor down.
The album artwork and tour outfits were bold, edgy, and slightly rock ‘n’ roll-inspired. So the perfect sunglasses for this era would be equally as sleek and rebellious.
These bold sunglasses by Saint Laurent are edgy, yet wearable. They are perfect for rocking with oversized leather jackets and sultry bodysuits.
1989 Album: Fierce and Powerful
The 1989 album showed Taylor’s bold, fierce side. With the mega-hit “Bad Blood,” Taylor started the trend of having a supermodel crew of friends, including Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne.
In this era, Taylor Swift’s style revolved around bold jewel tones, bright colors, and lots of fun looks. Both her red carpet and tour outfits were colorful and expressive with glamorous dresses, flirty mini skirts, and sky-high heels.
These feminine lilac Tory Burch sunglasses are the perfect way to express this era. The geometric shape is a charming finishing touch.
Red Album: Pop of Personality
The Taylor Swift album Red was released in 2012, over a decade ago! It goes to show why she’s arguably the biggest star in music right now, as she keeps evolving with each album, hence her smash, global phenomenon ‘Eras’ tour.
The ‘Red’ era was quite literal, with Taylor choosing a pop of red in each outfit. It was fun, young, and showed her coming of age. It was also when she moved from country to pop music.
A perfect pair of shades to represent this era is this pair of bold red Moschino sunglasses. They’re perfect for topping a cute black dress or monochrome outfit.
Speak Now Album: Frilly and Sassy
The artwork and fashion for the Speak Now album included lots of frills, purple, and sparkles. It was a transitional phase where she showed her versatility.
These sassy Prada sunglasses feature a mix of tortoiseshell and pink. They’re perfect for mixing and matching with similar colors.
Fearless Album: Cute and Country
Fearless was the Taylor Swift album that started it all. This album included the epic ballad “Love Song,” which won the hearts of teenage girls across the world. It was also the song that propelled Taylor to stardom.
These Y2K-inspired sunglasses by Christopher Kane are fun, fun, fun. They’re all about being fearless and expressive, just like Taylor.
