The singer gives insight into her Eras Tour wardrobe update in the latest episode of ‘The End of an Era’
Every Swiftie remembers where they were when Taylor Swift emerged onstage in Miami during the Eras Tour for the Reputation set — and donned a brand new black and gold bodysuit. Whether fans were in person at the Hard Rock Stadium or watching on a grainy TikTok livestream, screams most definitely ensued when they saw the change. Even the Miami rain, which started pouring down for that specific set, seemed like a paid actor. “I got some new outfits, and it’s always nice when the crowd notices that,” Swift even wrote on Instagram after the shows. It was a whole thing.
Why? Well, at that point in the Eras Tour 131-show trek, Swift had only worn one outfit for the Reputation set. Meanwhile, every other one of Taylor’s eras had new dresses, shirts, and details added to the sequined frenzy of a wardrobe. But not Reputation. Designed by Roberto Cavalli, the black and red sparkly bodysuit with a snake detail and cut-outs Swift wore during the set became a fan-favorite for attendees to emulate at the Eras Tour. So when Swift kicked off the second U.S. leg of the Eras Tour in Miami, fans were more than ready for it.
In the third episode of The End of an Era, fans received some more insight into that pivotal wardrobe change. First, Swift’s longtime stylist Joseph Cassell reveals that the designer of the new black and gold catsuit were on a time crunch to create it in time for the pop star’s shows in Miami. Then, even Taylor’s mom, Andrea, and her publicist, Tree Paine, share in the thrill of the bodysuit reveal. “That look is amazing,” Paine says as the star tries on a refitted version of the outfit. “It’s now my favorite,” Swift says as she tries it on. “I didn’t see that coming,” she adds.
While the black and gold Reputation bodysuit — and fans reactions to it — gets a lot of camera time in The End of an Era, Taylor doesn’t share many details on why the change occurred in the first place — or what took so long. But she does take note of the kismet that continues to follow the singer, like that mystical rain moment that occurred when she debuted the bodysuit that first night in Miami. “Sometimes there’s something that happens that’s amazing, that’s not something you can plan for, and not something that you can manufacture,” she says. “There’s still got to be some magical, beautiful mystery to life.”
