It all kicked off in Glendale, Arizona, last night, and
Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour outfits did not disappoint.
Ceremoniously renamed “Swift City” for Friday and Saturday, the
city of Glendale was treated to the opening night of the singer’s
highly-anticipated 2023 tour. Having already broken records with ticket sales — selling 2.4
million tickets in a single day — Swifties were treated to a
44-song set list, complete with a plethora of bedazzling outfit
changes to set the tone.
Swift didn’t take her fans through her
10 albums chronologically, though. Instead, she opted to mix up
her “eras,” beginning with the 2019 album Lover and then
going into 2020’s Evermore. Reputation came next, followed by a
brief dip into Speak Now before seamlessly transitioning
into Red, Folklore and 1989. “Tim
McGraw,” a song from her first, self-titled album, featured as it
does in all of her tours.
The 33-year-old then ended the night with Midnights, her most recent release to bring it back to
the now. As much as her endurance and dedication cannot be
overlooked, it was the outfit changes that really punctuated each
chapter of the show. Sporting custom designs from the likes of
Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Alberta Ferretti and
Oscar de la Renta, Swift proved that she knows the power of
fashion all too well. Each look was thoughtfully crafted, nodding
to her past eras with a renewed appreciation.

Tour below.

The boots stuck around for the Fearless era, but a
glittering flapper mini dress was a homage to the Roberto Cavalli
number she wore when initially touring the album.

the folksy album.

Reputation called for something a little more daring.
Swift made a statement in an asymmetrical black body suit with red
snake detailing by Roberto Cavalli, a tongue-in-cheek reference to
the feuds that inspired much of the album.

Though the only song Swift performed from Speak Now was
“Enchanted,” the Cinderella-esque ball gown by Nicole + Felicia
that she floated out captured the audience.

But she pulled out something special for the 10-minute version
of “All Too Well” — a sparkling red trench coat that matched her
guitar.

Her Folkore look was a little more pared back, just
like the album. Wearing a mauve-hued sheer gown with ruffles and
wide sleeves by Alberta Ferretti, the bohemian dress moved
beautifully with her on stage and matched the mossy backdrop.

ethereal Alberta Ferretti dress.

For 1989, Swift pulled out this magenta two-piece set
with fringing that worked great for the dance numbers.

Still in 1989‘s color palette, she wore a magenta
ruffled dress for an acoustic performance of “Mirrorball” and “Tim
McGraw.”

The Midnights portion of the evening began with the
song “Lavender Haze,” so, naturally, the singer donned a lavender
faux fur coat by Oscar de la Renta over a sparkly mini dress.

Oscar de la Renta and matching Louboutin knee-high boots.
