The Eras: A Fearless Debut

 A Fearless Debut

Debut Era: 2006-2007

 Let's start at the beginning, 2006 when Taylor Swift first released her self-titled debut album. The country princess, Swift stepped into the scene in classic cowboy boots and bright printed sundresses adorned. Before red lipstick was her signature, Swift always sported ringlet curls in her long blonde hair, the epitome of country chic. 



Swift herself was a trendsetter with the asymmetrical hem becoming popular due to how often she was seen in it. In concerts and in her street wear Swift wore many an asymmetrical dress paired with cowboy boots as her shoe of choice. Though she isn’t a princess, and this isn’t a fairy tale, Swift is partial to the princess-eque gown. 



Fearless Era: 2008-2010

Going into her second album, Fearless, Swift was obsessed with sparkles and girly silhouettes -she loves to be bejeweled. The shining star enjoyed sequin and rhinestone embellishments during this era, strutting the red carpets in dazzling gowns. The most iconic dress of this era would be the 2009 MTV awards where she adorned a sparkly floor-length gown. 


Her casual styling in this era still had her country flare as she leaned into a more boho look, with headbands and short white dresses beings most notable, though debut and fearless are similar in style. When it comes to later eras Swift's style changes more drastically to reflect how that album resonates with her. Next week we’ll be enchanted by whatever the star wears next.

So buckle up. She never goes out of style whether she’s walking down Cornelia Street in New York or giving us a mere surprise appearance at the red carpets.

The Eras: Sparks Fly in Reds & Purples

  Speak Now Era: 2010-2011 Taylor served a major pushback to her critics when she released her third studio album, Speak Now,  solely written by herself. It amassed a million copies within its first week of release and the story of Speak Now's purple reign begun. This era we see her continuing to embrace her then signature curly hair. Speak Now's  bold, sparkly, royal purple color defined her fashion moments all throughout this era. The Dear John  singer wore gowns shaped like a pastry as a nod to her iconic lyrics.      Taylor treated every ensemble and every appearance in this era as a white-veil occasion. We call her a marketing genius because every time the tabloids talked about her looks, her music had to have been brought up. She found the perfect niche when she blended her fashion and music. Red Era: 2012-2013, Red (Taylor's Version) Era: 2021-2021 Tirelessly working hard, Taylor released a banger pop-country album,  Red,  soon after...
