But if you’re still to nail your outfit, there is no need to worry.
Below, from Debut all the way up to Midnights, Best Picks has revealed the best outfits for every era — whether you’re a Fearless girlie or a Folklore queen.
Prepare yourself.
Taylor Swift (Debut)
First up, it’s Taylor’s self-titled debut album, perhaps her most under-appreciated out there.
If you want to channel this era, it’s all about boho summery dresses, cowboy boots, blue jeans, hoop earrings and lots of bracelets.
If you’re thinking about the ideal colours, you’ll be looking to white, baby blue and green.
Top of my inspiration list for this era is the SNDYS Sofia Maxi Dress, currently $90.30 on THE ICONIC, and the Ravella Cowboy Boots ($149.95), also from THE ICONIC.
I am also loving Faithfull for debut-inspired dresses, particularly this mini dress in floral green, which is a steal at $72.
Fearless
The Fearless era was when Taylor went from country star to all-out star.
It gave us hits like ‘Love Story’ and ‘You Belong With Me’ and was the first album where I discovered Ms Swift, so for that it will always play a part in my heart.
If you want to dress for this era, you’re going to need some gold.
I have my eye on this ASOS gold number, $460, which quite literally defines the Fearless era, especially when paired with the number 13 on the back of your hand.
Alternatively, I can’t move past Meshki for the Fearless era, in particular its Meilani Low Back Diamante Mesh Mini Dress, $289.
Shoes-wise, you’re going to want gold cowboy boots for this era.
Try this $126 pair from Stradivarius at ASOS for size.
Speak Now
This album was all about purple — and with romantic hits like ‘Enchanted’, it’s easy to see why.
To capture the nostalgia of this era perfectly, shoppers should look to cute babydoll dresses and big ballgowns like the ones Taylor herself wore on the tour.
I love this Tussah Maxi Dress from THE ICONIC ($179.95), which is so whimsical and romantic, or this AERE Linen option ($160).
Lastly, don’t discount Myer, which has this mini dress from Seed Heritage ($79.95).
Red
I don’t know about you (see what I did there?), but Red is one of my all-time favourites.
How can we move past such bangers as ‘22’ and ‘Trouble’, as well as Taylor’s GOAT song, ‘All Too Well’?
With this in mind, when you go to the Eras tour, you’re certain to see lots of people dressed for the Red era.
Red has a very distinctive aesthetic, and not just because of the colour.
I’m thinking tea dresses, heart-shaped sunnies, T-shirts, red lipstick, brogues and high-waisted shorts.
My Red era picks include these heart-shaped sunglasses from Amazon ($9.16), as well as this baker boy hat from Lack of Colour (currently $43).
Finally, you’ll want an almighty red lipstick if you’re going in the Red era — and for that, I will always turn to M.A.C.
Step forward M.A.C’s Ruby Woo Lipstick ($29), which will give you the ultimate kiss-proof red lip worthy of Ms Tay herself.
1989
1989 was Taylor’s major pop star moment.
She was everywhere when it was first released in 2014, and nearly 10 years after it came out, it still remains perhaps her best pop album.
If you want to channel this era, you have a plethora of choices.
Whether you want to dress like cheerleader Taylor from the Shake It Off video or just channel the general vibe with sequinned two-pieces and boots, there’s something for everyone.
I can’t move past this Glassons sequinned two-piece set ($39.98) or a classic pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers ($292).
Finally, you can grab a cheerleader costume from Amazon like this one for $24.90 if you want to dress like the Shake It Off video.
Reputation
After a big break from 1989, Taylor moved in a very different direction.
Gone were the sparkles and cowboy boots and in their place was a series of snake motifs and all black everything.
If you’re a Reputation stan, there are plenty of black-inspired outfits to get you in the mood for the Eras tour.
I love these snake earrings from Amazon ($42.06), and these black sequin shorts ($18.35) also from the retailer.
Finally, this black sequin jacket ($149.99) from Pink Dusk at THE ICONIC is also a great buy that you’ll probably wear again.
Lover
Love pink, sparkle and pop? Lover is the era for you.
The colours for this era are pastel pink, baby blue and lilac.
My outfit inspiration for this era includes colourful fur jackets like this Marcs one from THE ICONIC ($129).
Sequins are still a mainstay.
In this respect, I particularly love this Meshki Anastasia Mini Dress in ice blue ($169), which is perfectly Lover-themed.
Finally, in the Lover era, you need hearts, ideally on your face.
Try this face and hair glitter ($19.99) from Amazon.
Folklore
Ah, Folklore.
This album will always hold a special place in my heart, and is perhaps my favourite era of them all, for the music.
When it comes to the outfits, you’re going to want to channel the vibe — so think rustic, folksy and woodsy.
Cardigans, flowing dresses and earthy colours like creams, browns and deep reds all come to mind.
Amazon has a knock-off of the Folklore cardigan selling for $38.67.
Alternatively, this $299 Faithfull dress is very Folklore-ian.
Finally, you could dress as the mirrorball from the ‘Mirrorball’ song and opt for sequins.
This long-sleeved top from ASOS ($32) is great for that.
Evermore
The sister album to Folklore, Evermore is much like its woodsy counterpart.
The main differences are more ‘witchy’ vibes, courtesy of ‘Willow’.
For this, you could opt to dress in red or green velvet, vintage dresses and flower crowns.
THE ICONIC has many great options, including this bargain of a green velvet dress at $30 by Atmos and Here.
I also love knee boots in this era, like these S by Sempre Di ones ($295), or a bit of plaid like this RVCA dress ($89.99).
Midnights
Finally, there are sure to be thousands dressing for Midnights — Taylor’s most recent album.
And it’s an era I just adore.
I can’t move past this amazing ‘Lavender Haze’ or ‘Karma-inspired’ purple dress from Amazon ($70).
And I’m also loving this Glassons sequin purple top ($79.99).
Finally, you need faux fur for Midnights. This Miss Selfridge pink option from ASOS is a bargain at $58.
