As Taylor Swift geared up for her first tour in years—which kicked off on Friday, March 17, aka St. Patrick’s Day—we saw a surprising jump in our Swift-inspired costumes from #13DaysofHalloween past. Turns out, if you’ve gotten a coveted ticket to one of her shows, you might be wondering what to wear.
Aside from paying homage to Swift’s music and feeling on brand for the Eras tour—it is a retrospective of her career, after all—the desire to go all out could be motivated by the fact that Swift’s mom, Andrea, has been known to pick fans from the crowd to meet her backstage. (The theory: The more Swift-spirited you look, the better your odds, perhaps?) Well, whatever your motivation, we’ve got plenty of Eras tour outfit ideas to get you pumped for the show.
Update: We’ve seen such a response to this story that we decided to add an extra look, inspired by the “Lavender Haze” music video—and perfect if it’s still a little bit chilly where you are.
