Taylor Swift is known for being very in tune with her fans, often following their theories and reactions online. This trend, known as “Taylurking,” has become a trademark of Swift’s relationship with her devoted followers. Recently, she made headlines by hosting a wrap party for her Eras Tour crew in London, wearing an outfit that one of her fans had predicted she would choose.
A few months ago, Instagrammer Cookie Cohen had posted a picture of Taylor Swift photoshopped into a Vivienne Westwood suit. The suit featured a plaid three-quarter sleeve blazer and miniskirt combo, which Cohen believed would flatter the singer. Fast forward to this week, and Swift was spotted in London wearing that exact outfit. In a surprising turn of events, Swift swapped the scarlet thigh-highs and heels for white ankle socks and pistachio-colored Sézane Mary Janes. This move shocked fans, leading them to speculate if Swift had been “lurking” on Cohen’s page all along.
It’s not the first time Taylor Swift has collaborated with Vivienne Westwood for her wardrobe choices. The London label was tapped by Swift to create costumes for her ‘Tortured Poets Department’ section of the Eras Tour earlier this year. Since then, Swift has been incorporating Vivienne Westwood pieces into her off-duty wardrobe as well. During a recent double-date in Amsterdam, Swift wore a Vivienne Westwood corset, dress, and heart-shaped handbag, solidifying her love for the brand.
Despite facing challenges, such as the cancellation of three shows in Vienna due to terrorist threats, Taylor Swift is set to kick off her five-night stint at London’s Wembley Stadium. This marks the final stop on the European leg of her Eras Tour, which has been a massive success with sold-out shows and devoted fans eagerly awaiting each performance. Swift’s ability to connect with her audience, both online and in real life, continues to solidify her status as a superstar who values and appreciates her fans.
