Taylor Swift mourns the end of an era before taking some time off in her career….see more
Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid enjoyed a stylish evening together at New York City’s Waverly Inn on Tuesday night, catching up over dinner without their high-profile partners, Travis Kelce and Bradley Cooper.
However, Swift’s chic black ensemble has sparked a flurry of fan speculation, with many Swifties interpreting her choice of outfit as a symbolic gesture.
According to the Daily Mail, the 34-year-old pop star donned an $845 black bubble-skirt Simkhai dress paired with $855 pointy-toed Gucci slingback heels.
She accessorized the look with a silver Doen bag and sparkling diamond earrings, adding a touch of glam to the otherwise somber outfit.
Meanwhile, Hadid opted for a maroon maxi skirt and matching leather jacket, completing her look with a black bag.
Fans decode the ‘Funeral Dress’
After a fan account, Taylor Swift Styled, shared details about Swift’s little black dress (LBD), fans were quick to draw connections to her fashion choice.
Some labeled the look “funeral attire,” speculating that it could symbolize the conclusion of her record-breaking Eras Tour, which wraps up this weekend in Vancouver after nearly two years and more than 150 shows.
“This really gives funeral…like ‘in the death of her reputation she felt truly alive,'” one fan commented, referencing a 2017 poem by Swift.
Another added, “She’s definitely mourning the end of the Eras Tour.”
Other fans theorized that Swift might be hinting at the dawn of a new musical era. Swifties have long been attuned to the singer’s penchant for dropping Easter eggs through her wardrobe and public appearances.
Beyond the black dress, Swift’s recent use of orange hues in her outfits and lipstick has fans buzzing about a potential new album.
Some believe the color is a nod to her relationship with Travis Kelce, blending the red, gold, and white of his Kansas City Chiefs team colors.
Others point to lyrics in her song Daylight, where she sings, “I once believed love would be black and white, but it’s golden,” suggesting the orange shade could signify a celebration of love and happiness.
