On March 18, I buzzed with excitement in a crowd of nearly 70,000 fans eagerly counting down the seconds (literally — a giant clock ticked on screen) until Taylor Swift walked onstage for her second show of the wildly-anticipated Eras Tour. Three hours and 13 minutes later, I was basking in the blissful aftermath of an epic 44-song setlist from the music icon.
But before that, I thought long and hard about what to wear to a Taylor Swift concert I’d been daydreaming about for years. With four new albums and two re-recordings released since her last tour, the options were endless. Should I dress for her latest era, the glimmering, moody Midnights, wander back into the whimsical woods in honor of Folklore and Evermore, embrace the bubblegum pink wonderland of Lover, or pay tribute to Red (Taylor’s Version) in loafers and, well, red?
The countless Taylor Swift concert outfit ideas might seem overwhelming, but after attending the first stop on the Eras Tour, I can tell you this: You’ll see a little bit of everything (and a lot of sparkles.) Some Swifties threw it back to Fearless in cowboy boots, others wore heart-covered tulle dresses, and one dedicated fan even covered herself head-to-toe in ivy in honor of the Evermore track.
Below, channel whichever era you feel most passionate about with these 148 Taylor Swift concert outfit ideas. Pick your poison, era-style. And don’t forget to nab a stadium-approved clear bag for as little as $13.
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Outfits, from Her Versace Bodysuit to Her Roberto Cavalli Dress

When Swift first announced the impending release of her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department during the 2024 Grammy Awards, fans weren’t sure what to expect. But in true Swiftie fashion, it didn’t take long for the masses to become well acquainted with the album’s sultry black-and-white aesthetic, numerous Easter eggs, and chart-topping 31-song tracklist in the weeks following its April 19 release.
And on her first tour stop following the drop, Swift did indeed add an entirely new section for her TTPD era, including songs “So High School,” “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” and “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” To dress like a devoted member of the department, sport a romantic white blouse, silky black opera gloves, or ruffled gown courtesy of the “Fortnight” music video.

Midnights
Swift’s second-latest album, Midnights, evokes a ’70s haze, if you will, with purple eyeshadow, tousled hair, and shag coats. For the final portion of her Eras Tour setlist, the “Anti-Hero” singer wore two outfits: a sparkly T-shirt dress topped with a lavender fur jacket that was dripping in crystals and a bejeweled dark purple fringe leotard, both worn with knee-high Christian Louboutin rhinestone boots.
While you might not go that extra (or designer), the color palette is an easy place to start. I opted for these lavender metallic wide-leg trousers and this sparkly ruched cowl neck tank top, both under $25 at Cider. Slip into the lavender haze with purple pants, disco-ball-esque tops, and furry jackets like this one that starts at $36 at Amazon, and stock up on friendship bracelets (à la “You’re on Your Own, Kid”) with a custom bracelet-making kit. You could also recreate Swift’s glamorous birthday look that she wore in New York City with a sparkly little black dress.
