This summer Taylor Swift has—literally and figuratively—taken center stage. Beyond the seismic impact of her , she’s now triggered another Swiftie meltdown. The cause? Today’s announcement of the release date for her rerecorded version of her 2014 album, 1989.
But it’s not all about the music: Taylor’s off-duty looks have become a wellspring of style inspiration—especially for normcore enthusiasts. Even celebrities are under her spell—as illustrated by Sydney Sweeney’s sartorial homage to the pop icon while in the crowd at Swift’s LA gig.
Sweeney took a leaf out of Taylor’s early fashion playbook with her gig outfit, combining a white cropped tank top with a Miu Miu denim miniskirt, cinched by a black leather Miu Miu belt. A true Swiftie, Sydney finished off her look with striking black leather cowboy boots that could be interpreted as a nod to Taylor’s country-western roots.
Numerous parallels exist between Swift and Sweeney. Both are all-American girls who lean toward down-to-earth, country-inflected essentials when it comes to their wardrobes. So it’s no surprise that Sweeney is a fan. Swift’s LA shows have been a magnet for celebrities: Besides Sydney Sweeney, Kaia Gerber, Channing Tatum, and even the Duchess of Sussex have all been spied in the crowd.
