Taylor Swift’s 12 Best Outfits from the 1989 World Tour

By Isabel Ashton

Decked out head-to-toe in all-black and all-sequin everything by Kaufman Franco (including matching microphone), Taylor even managed to look good with a golf club in Kanata in Ontario, Canada.

One of our all-time favorite looks from the tour so far, nothing says pop princess more than this bejeweled all-in-one number, paired with a trademark red lip.

Sporting another sparkling outfit in a shiny green jacket and purple skirt, it’s no wonder she needed sunglasses. The varsity detail on the jacket gives it a nice too-cool-for-school edge.

Swift shook it off in this green flapper-inspired, tasseled crop top and skirt that she wore during a performance in Montreal.

Swift looked fierce in a sharp long-line blazer with sequin detailing and black sparkly booties in Montreal.

Throughout her shows Swift has flaunted her long legs in an array of shiny skirts and jewel-encrusted crop tops, as pictured here in Dublin, Ireland.

Swift’s overall fun vibe on the tour has extended to her fashion choices. Not one to shy away from bold colors, she is pictured here performing in Philadelphia in a rainbow-colored sequin jacket.

Swift quite literally lit up the stage in Las Vegas, where she looked flirty and feminine in this summery pink skirt and matching top complete with L.E.D. lights and silver strappy heels.

Swift revealed her sultry side in this sexy, black, glittery outfit, pictured during a concert in Las Vegas.

In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Swift made the stage her personal catwalk in black thigh-high boots and suspenders.

Singer or supermodel? Swift showcased her incredible figure in another all-black, killer combo.

In yet another crop top and skirt, it shows that as far as Swift is concerned, this combination will never go out of style.

All of Taylor Swift's Best 1989 Tour Outfits So Far

By Kathryn Amey

Taylor Swift is our ultimate girl crush. When she's not writing catchy chart-topping tracks, she's dating some of the cutest boys in Hollywood (and London), providing us with serious #squadgoals thanks to her BFF-filled Instagrams, and, of course, acting as a constant source of major fashion inspiration.

And yes, that extends to every outfit she's worn during her 1989 World Tour—during the three shows that have happened so far, at least. From sparkly bandeau tops to a jacket that can only be described as 'disco ball-esque,' Taylor has really kicked it up a notch with her on-stage ensembles. Say goodbye to her signature pastel prints and ladylike cocktail dresses—her latest tour look is far more "Bad Blood" than "Blank Space."

Here are Teen Vogue's favorite picks so far...

What's not to love about a sparkly wrap-around tank top paired with matching high-waisted shorts? Absolutely nothing.

She's got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt...

An all-over sequined black onesie? We need this in our party outfit arsenal, ASAP.

The only thing better than a dazzling silver bomber jacket? One that incorporates every color of the rainbow, of course.

By Kaitlyn McNab

By Sara Delgado

By Kristi Kellogg

But the piece de resistance is this bedazzled body suit, which is giving us serious Brittney circa her "Toxic" music video flashbacks. Not that we're complaining—Tay is positively Shutting. It. Down. in this outfit.

For a real stage style statement, Taylor matched said sparkly bandeau top with a glittering royal blue skater skirt and an eye-catching jacket that redefines what it means to be 'disco ball chic.' Yes, it's a thing.

In Detroit, Tay channeled her inner 1920s flapper clad in a show-stopping halter jumpsuit complete with fringe.

This ensemble is more risqué than Taylor's usual look. Behold: tiny white shorts, a matching strapless tank and thigh-high black boots. But her best accessory? Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons.

See Taylor Swift's 1989 Super-Sexy Tour Costumes Right Here

By Leah Melby Clinton

Taylor Swift kicked off her 1989 tour in Tokyo yesterday, and from the get-go, it was obvious that her edgier, maybe-due-to-Calvin-Harris style wasn't taking a backseat to the tailored shorts and flat sneaks she wore on the Red tour last year.

To open things up, she picked a sparkly skater mini and a bra top with side cutouts (her glitter-covered boots are by Stuart Weitzman ). This fan group counted eleven different outfit switches, and while there were some more classically demure Taylor, others had the bombshell level cranked way up.

A photo posted by @taylorswift13lover5 on May 6, 2015 at 4:32am PDT

For one, she wore a sparkly catsuit similar to the one BFF Karlie Kloss showed off on the Victoria's Secret runway.

A photo posted by Taylor Swift Argentina (@taylorswift_argentina) on May 6, 2015 at 4:21am PDT

Her other sparkly pick was a short romper, worn with wings.

A photo posted by Taylor Swift Argentina (@taylorswift_argentina) on May 5, 2015 at 3:45am PDT

She paired thigh-high heeled boots with high-waisted shorts, connected by garterlike straps.

A photo posted by @befearless10 on May 6, 2015 at 3:00am PDT

And from neck to toe, this all-leather look had a sexy dominatrix vibe that was hard to deny (especially paired with that cage-like contraption).

See Every Taylor Swift '1989' World Tour Outfit So Far

Getty Images

Even if you weren't in the Tokyo Dome last night to see Taylor Swift kick off her 1989 World Tour , chances are you've scoured the internet to get a track by track breakdown of her show or (if you're a fashion nerd like us) peep all her onstage looks.

Her show certainly wasn't short on outfit changes–she racked up 10 ensembles total. From her signature matching two-piece sets to sequin suit jackets to skin-tight catsuits, she pulled out ALL the stops for her world tour debut. Check 'em out below!

Sparkly Skater Skirt And Sequin Bomber Jacket

Crystal Nude Jumpsuit

In a rarer T Swift look, we get to peep her in a skin-tight nude catsuit covered in crystals. Yowza.

Rhinestone-Accented Black Co-Ord

Ahhh, classic Taylor and her matching bustier and shorts ensembles. We love this one decked out in rhinestones.

LED Light Up Crop Top And Skirt

Perhaps the most amazing ensemble of the evening was this light-up Asher Levine number that flashed LED lights throughout her performance.

All-Leather Catsuit

Taylor transformed into a total badass in this head-to-toe leather look. Dang, girl.

Two-Toned Bustier With Skinnies

She decided to go for a pants and bustier outfit while playing her guitar like the good ol' days .

Metallic Fringe Romper

What's a better outfit to sing "Shake It Off" in than this bright green fringe piece? Nothing, that's what.

Crop Top, Shorts, And Thigh-High Boots

It looks like she took some tips from her Victoria's Secret performance in this lingerie-inspired number.

Rhinestone And Fringe Silver Dress

We don't know if this technically qualifies as a dress, but we love it nonetheless.

Black Sequin Suit Jacket

And for "Blank Space," she got serious in a sequin sequin jacket sans pants. WERK.

Taylor Swift ‘1989’ World Tour: Set list, costumes, the stage, the spectacle

Warning: If you’re one of the Taylor Swift fans planning to see a concert on her highly-hyped “1989” world tour this year and don’t want spoilers, look away.

But if you’re curious about how one of the savviest pop stars of our time puts on a massive concert (expected to gross about $200 million ) here are some scenes from the first tour stop. It kicked off at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on Tuesday in front of a 55,000-plus sold out crowd; immediately, details started pouring out on social media.

There'S nothing like the energy at #1989TourTokyo ! TONIGHT WAS MORE THAN WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED. IT WAS EVERYTHING! pic.twitter.com/njUQLApjFY — Taylor Nation (@taylornation13) May 5, 2015

* The set list:

While Swift’s set list generally stays the same throughout a tour, she’s always one for surprises: As she’s acknowledged, most of her diehard fans — the ones that ensure she’s the only artist who can still sell a million copies of an album these days — have watched  the entire concert on YouTube months before they arrive at the venue.

“Everything we’ve ever done, every decision I’ve made on my last tours, I wanted to flip it and do the opposite for this one,” Swift recently told “Access Hollywood.” “You have to switch it up, cause people get bored — more easily in 2015 than ever before.”

[ What a single tweet from Taylor Swift does to your music sales ]

Judging from the lists that have cropped up on Twitter, Swift plays nearly the entire “1989” album during the two-hour concert. Her Nashville roots are long gone, as are the majority of famous hits from her first albums. Though she does go back in time for “Love Story” (the third-highest selling digital country song of all time); “Enchanted” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

For the record, Swift’s show in Tokyo started at around 6:30 p.m. in Japan, translating to 5:30 a.m. Eastern: But fans were eagerly waking up at all hours to find the details:

* The stage:

Swift will play many stadiums and arenas on the tour (which arrives in America on May 20 in Bossier City, La.), so expect it to look something like this:

* Costume changes

Swift promised the fashion would be epic this time around.

* The opening number:

Looks like Swift, a New York City ambassador , appropriately kicks off with her “Welcome to New York” anthem:

* The Katy Perry song:

Otherwise known as “Bad Blood,” the ultimate burn, and upcoming single.

[ Taylor Swift’ ‘Bad Blood’: How we can tell she’s singing about Katy Perry ]

* The Harry Styles song:

“Style,” naturally, also known as her current single.

* The show closer:

“Shake It Off,” of course.

[ Is Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ video offensive? That’s what people say, mmm mmm. ]

* The after-party:

Similarly to the “T-Party” and “Club Red,” Swift’s team invites the hardcore fans to a meet and greet after the show. Looks like this one is called “Loft 89,” according to @TSwiftOnTour , a fan account that tweets details from every concert.

You Must See Everything Taylor Swift Is Wearing on Tour

Rainbow sequins, beaded fringe, and thigh-high boots.

Blake Lively may have masterfully worn  10 looks in one day , but Taylor Swift did the same thing in a matter of  hours . BOOM.

Earlier this week, Swift kicked off her  1989 World Tour  in Tokyo and made our sartorial dreams come true while she was at it. Her onstage wardrobe gave us everything we've come to expect from the ladylike-cool star—retro silhouettes, crop tops, matching sets, and shimmering embellishments—but she also threw us a few fashion curve-balls, like a leather catsuit, thigh-high boots à la  Pretty Woman , and even a light-up confection. (Eat your heart out, Katy Perry). Here, find an outfit-by-outfit breakdown of every single look we've seen so far.

1. The Pink Fringe Dress

https://instagram.com/p/98owRQjvET/

Since the  1989  tour began back in May, we've loved everything Swift has donned for her  star-studded performances . This said, we couldn't help but get excited about the first new piece Swift has introduced since hitting the road.

In keeping with fringey-embellished vibe of the rest of her wardrobe, she stepped out on the stage in Shanghai donning a powdery pink, beaded fringe mini-dress that we are suh-wooning over.

2. A Rainbow Fish Bomber Jacket

With its rich jewel tones and sequin detailing, we can't imagine the inspiration behind this zip-up bomber is anything but the childhood storybook classic  The Rainbow Fish . She pairs it with a black beaded crop top and a high-waisted, belly-button-covering flared skirt that's equally as a shiny.

3. Glam Rock Ankle Boots

Swift takes a page from David Bowie's book by pairing her newly-minted stage uniform—the black beaded crop top and flare skirt—with a glittery pair of lace-up platform ankle boots.

4. A Sequin Shorts Suit

Even Swift's most buttoned-up look of the tour is sparkly! She pairs this immaculately-tailored sequin shorts suit with matching ankle boots.

5. A Jeweled Bodysuit

https://instagram.com/p/2Tkoc5Isbc/?taken-by=shiftyswifty1989

Swift matched her Victoria's Secret Angel BFF Karlie Kloss, who wore a similar jeweled bodysuit to parade down the runway as Swift performed. It's also worth nothing that this naked-ish number bears a striking resemblance to the risqué,  side-butt baring  Met Gala looks donned by Jennifer Lopez , Kim Kardashian , and Beyoncé. (T-Swift, so hot right now.)

6. An LED Crop Top and Skirt

https://instagram.com/p/2TSLRyiEBi/?taken-by=jmzjmzjmz

It would appear that Swift wanted to give a nod to LED wristbands, which flash along to the rhythms of her  1989  jams. She loved them so much, she even handed out to the entire audience! For the rest of her non-Lite-Brite look, she opted for this light-up pink frock that matches her umbrella-toting backup dancers.

7. A Leather Catsuit

https://instagram.com/p/2UR5z0KHkM/?taken-by=romantics.anthem

Two words: Meeeee..ooowww. Swift surely got tongues wagging in this second skin leather catsuit—and, is that a  pair of bants  we spy?

8. A Marilyn Monroe-esque Onsie

https://instagram.com/p/2Tr56lxicO/?taken-by=taylorswift__officials

A testament to her propensity for retro style, Swift channels Monroe in  The Seven Year Itch  wearing this white plunging halter playsuit with swinging beaded fringe.

9. Thigh-High Boots

https://instagram.com/p/2UDlthInXO/?taken-by=alltswift13

Swift ups the bombshell factor of her glitter-trimmed white matching set by pairing it with thigh-high boots, complete with a pinup-staple: the garter belt.

10. A Green Flapper Dress

https://instagram.com/p/2UD04TonXo/?taken-by=alltswift13

She shakes it off by channeling her inner-flapper in this bright green, beaded fringe romper topped off with a waist-cinching belt. We're dying to see this thing in motion.

11. A Shimmery Matching Set

https://instagram.com/p/2TiWfTSuGR/?taken-by=umeume_123

Swift has proven she's nothing if not a fan of crop tops, high-waisted bottoms, and embellishments. So, this sequin trimmed crop top and shorts are essentially her version of the LBD.

12. A Bejeweled Bra Top

https://instagram.com/p/2TgU9mijTt/?taken-by=ellie_2213

Worn with high-waisted cigarette pants, she amps up the classic crop top with a royal blue hue and jewel detailing.

The Story Behind Taylor Swift's LED Light-Up Outfit From Her 1989 World Tour

Name any pop singer during an onstage performance and chances are her costumes consist of sequins (lots of 'em), sheer pieces in varying degrees of opacity (from semi to completely translucent), body-hugging silhouettes, and frankly, little to no fabric. But Taylor Swift —well, she's not your average multi-platinum megastar. During her 1989 World Tour , she continues to light up every single sold-out stadium packed with something like 60,000 fans. Literally. She actually lights up.

It's a song that starts out like any other, with a giant HD screen for a backdrop and the instrumental beginnings of "How You Get the Girl," complete with the staccato pitter-patter of rain drops for effect. But the crew of 12 backup dancers possess more than just skilled footwork choreographed to perfection—each one is decked in three-piece battery-operated suits lined with LED light strips that run down each seam. The umbrellas they're holding, too, are striped with LED lights. The climactic moment, though, is when Swift appears in a flash of light, courtesy of her own LED-equipped crop top and skirt set.

All of that—the lights, the costumes, everything—is the collaborative group effort, or rather, the genius work of three hardware-software-radio design electronic engineers Dave Sheinkopf , James DeVito , and Dylan Fashbaugh, and costume designer Asher Levine .

"It's basically an LED screen on a person. Each dancer has 800 pixels spread across the body, which is synched up to the music," Sheinkopf tells InStyle . "The lighting design for the stage has 35,000 moving parts. It's definitely the most innovative, progressive lighting system out there."

That's not to say that Swift is the first singer ever to wear technology during a performance. Sheinkopf calls out Katy Perry and Rihanna as her predecessors, but it's "definitely the most complicated wearable lighting system for a stage show. It's the first time that's been done with 13 people at once," he says.

And given that level of complexity, there was definitely no shortage of challenges. For one, the rigorous stunts had to be considered. "When I first saw the dancers rehearsing the routine, I almost fainted," Sheinkopf says. "I thought it was impossible. We were basically installing computers on them. Electronics on a moving part is always difficult, but it becomes increasingly difficult when it's a dancer who's doing backflips or somersaults."

Other than taking quick 25-second-long costume changes into account, the other challenge was not knowing whether cell phone interference would disrupt the lighting radio-control signal. "There really was no way to test that," he explains. "We encrypted the signal, coded, decoded, and coded it so many times. We did everything we could and crossed our fingers. When it all worked out, it was such a relief."

But let's get back to the star of the show. For Swift's costume, the team had designed two outfits for her—one version was the crop top and skirt, the other was a little longer. And no surprise here, she liked the crop top one better. Unlike the backup dancers, hers has a simpler design—it's set up as a grid, a matrix, Sheinkopf explains, likening it to a Times Square billboard screen. The first time he saw everything in action was at the first full dress rehearsal.

"We were standing in an empty research facility and we were running on a total of four hours of sleep the whole week, but the lights dropped and hers lit up, and I was almost in tears," Sheinkopf says. "It was an amazing moment."

And what about Swift's reaction? "She loved it—she freaked out."

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Outfits, from Her Versace Bodysuit to Her Roberto Cavalli Dress

Taylor Swift is channeling looks from her past 10 albums on her Eras Tour. Take a look at her best outfits, including custom pieces from Versace, Roberto Cavalli and more

Taylor Swift is proving she never goes out of "style" with her recent tour.

On March 17, the singer returned to the stage as she kicked off her highly anticipated Eras Tour . From show-stopping performances to creative transitions , the 3-hour and 13-minute set is a true spectacle but one of the best parts is Swift's stunning costumes.

As Swift takes fans through her extensive music catalog with her 44-song setlist , she perfectly pays tribute to her past 10 albums with custom outfits.

While some pieces are inspired by her different eras (the dazzling Versace bodysuit during the opener encapsulates her Lover aesthetic), other looks are direct references to past tours, including her Roberto Cavalli two-piece for her 1989 set and Nicole + Felicia gown for Speak Now .

Take a look at Swift's Eras Tour outfits ahead.

Taylor Swift's Atelier Versace bodysuit for her Lover set

As Swift opened the show with "Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince" from Lover , she wore a custom Atelier Versace bodysuit adorned in pink and blue jewels, reflecting the dreamy pink and blue skies featured on the album's artwork. She paired the look with silver Christian Louboutin knee-high boots and a bedazzled microphone. During her Las Vegas show on March 24, Swift added a flower necklace by Versace to the ensemble.

During her second night of the tour, Swift surprised fans by wearing a completely different sparkling bodysuit. This look, also by Atelier Versace, was covered in blue and gold jewels, with a matching chain necklace and Christian Louboutin knee-high boots.

During her New Jersey show, Swift wore a new bodysuit by Versace, which included fringe tassels and beading. She paired the look with ombré boots and a Versace butterfly necklace, which was a co-design collaboration with Versace ambassador Dua Lipa.

Taylor Swift's Versace blazer for her Lover set

Before singing her hit song " The Man ," Swift completely transformed her look by adding a Versace blazer that complemented her Christian Louboutin knee-high boots.

Taylor Swift's black blazer for her Lover set

In addition to wearing a different Atelier Versace bodysuit during the second night of her tour, Swift also switched up during her performance of "The Man" by wearing a black pinstripe blazer with sequins.

Taylor Swift's Roberto Cavalli dress for her Fearless set

Swift donned her best dress by Roberto Cavalli as she performed a few songs from her album Fearless . The gold fringe dress was reminiscent of a similar look the designer created for her Speak Now Tour in 2011. She paired the look with Christian Louboutin boots and a bedazzled guitar .

For the second night of the tour, Swift donned a different Roberto Cavalli dress, which was slightly longer and featured gold and silver sequins in an ombré pattern.

Taylor Swift's Etro dress for her Evermore set

Swift went for a whimsical look as she performed various songs from her album Evermore in a yellow Etro dress that featured a corset top and beading detail down the front. For her bewitching performance of "Willow" she added a matching Etro cape.

During her New Jersey concert, Swift wore a new dress for her Evermore set, which was created by Marco de Vincenzo for Etro. This dress played into the woodsy nature of the Evermore album with a darker burgundy color and ruffles throughout.

Taylor Swift's Roberto Cavalli catsuit for her Reputation set

Swift slithered into a Roberto Cavalli catsuit as she performed her Reputation set on stage. The outfit, which featured an intricate pattern resembling snakes intertwined down the one long leg of the ensemble, was reminiscent of the many bodysuits Swift wore during her Reputation Stadium Tour as it was covered in black sequins resembling scales.

Taylor Swift's Nicole + Felicia gown for her Speak Now set

Despite only performing one song during her Speak Now set, Swift nonetheless left fans wonderstruck as she donned a Nicole + Felicia gown for her performance of "Enchanted." The gold gown certainly felt like a homage to Swift's Valentino ballgown from her Speak Now Tour.

Taylor Swift's Zuhair Murad gown for her Speak Now set

During night two, Swift looked like a real-life princess as she wore a Zuhair Murad ballgown , this time in a pink hue that popped against the stage's violet lighting.

Taylor Swift's Elie Saab ballgown for her Speak Now set

During the first night of her Tampa concert, Swift wore a new dress for her Speak Now set, dressing up in an Elie Saab Haute Couture silk tulle ballgown embroidered with gardenia-colored organza petals.

Just before announcing 1989 (Taylor's Version) on Aug. 9, Swift donned a blue dress by Nicole + Felicia during her Speak Now set. She continued to wear different blue outfits throughout the concert.

Taylor Swift's Ashish shirt for her Red set

At the beginning of her Red set, Swift recreated her iconic look from her "22" music video, in which she wears a shirt that reads "Not a lot going on at the moment" with a fedora and shorts. For the concert, she made one critical change, dropping the "not" from the T-shirt slogan. The shirt was custom by Ashish paired with Christian Louboutin loafers and a Gladys Tamez hat.

Swift recreated her "22" music video outfit again for night two, thought this time the shirt featured a lyric from the song: "Who's Taylor Swift anyway? Ew."

While performing in Arlington, Texas, Swift wore another version of her "22" shirt, this time with the text "We are never getting back together. Like ever."

Taylor Swift's Ashish romper for her Red set

As Swift moved on to other songs on her Red album, including "I Knew You Were Trouble," she took off her "22" inspired shirt and hat to reveal a sequin Ashish romper in red and black.

Taylor Swift's Ashish coat for her Red set

Swift threw on an Ashish coat over her romper as she performed her 10-minute version of "All Too Well" on stage with a coordinating red guitar.

Taylor Swift's Alberta Ferretti dress for her Folklore set

Swift was back in boho for songs from Folklore , in a flowing lilac Alberta Ferretti gown similar to the dress she wore during her 2021 Grammys performance . She even brought back the Folklore house for the performance.

During night two, Swift wore another Alberta Ferretti dress, this time in an off-white hue covered in crystal embroidery. The gown's flowing, cape-like sleeves were made for twirling.

For her March 24 show in Las Vegas, Swift debuted a third Alberta Ferretti dress as she performed her Folklore set. This dress combined various features from her previous two dresses, with a soft pink hue, cape-like sleeves and sequin details throughout.

During night one in Tampa, Swift wore yet another Alberta Ferretti dress for her Folklore set. This look was in bright green featuring a plunging neckline, mesh detailing and leaves embroideries.

Swift wore a new Alberta Ferretti gown for her Folklore set on Aug. 9, just before announcing 1989 (Taylor's Version) .

Taylor Swift's Roberto Cavalli top and skirt for her 1989 set

Swift recreated one of her memorable 1989 World Tour outfits as she wore a matching Roberto Cavalli top and skirt. The pink set was perfectly paired with dazzling Christian Louboutin boots.

On night two, the star stepped out in a similar beaded matching set by the brand, but this time in a vivid green shade that continued onto her Christian Louboutin boots.

As she performed her 1989 songs, Swift opted for an orange Roberto Cavalli two-piece set with matching Christian Louboutin boots.

Taylor Swift's blue top and skirt for her 1989 set

As she performed her 1989 songs, Swift wore a new variation of her top and skirt set, this time in a striking blue color.

Taylor Swift's Jessica Jones dress for her acoustic set

As Swift performed a few acoustic songs during night one, including "Tim McGraw" from her debut album, she donned a Jessica Jones dress that featured cap sleeves and pleats. The designer has created many of Swift's most iconic looks, including numerous outfits from her Reputation stadium tour and her gold bodysuit at the 2019 American Music Awards when she accepted artist of the decade .

Taylor Swift's green dress for her acoustic set

Swift opted for a similar dress, this time in green, as she performed alongside Marcus Mumford for her acoustic set in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 25.

Taylor Swift's yellow dress for her acoustic set

As Swift started wearing her orange Roberto Cavalli two-piece set with matching Christian Louboutin boots for her 1989 set, she began wearing a yellow dress on top of her outfit as she performed her acoustic set.

Taylor Swift's blue dress for her acoustic set

During the last leg of her U.S. tour, Swift donned a blue dress for the special announcement of 1989 (Taylor's Version) , which she debuted the album cover art for on stage. She followed up by playing the hit "New Romantics" from the album.

Taylor Swift's Oscar de la Renta t-shirt and jacket for her Midnights set

For the beginning of her Midnights set, Swift wore a similar look to the one seen in her "Lavender Haze" music video as she paired an Oscar de la Renta crystal t-shirt with an Oscar de la Renta faux fur coat.

Taylor Swift's Oscar de la Renta bodysuit for her Midnights set

As she performed "Midnight Rain," Swift did a quick costume change on stage as she took off her Oscar de la Renta t-shirt to reveal an Oscar de la Renta bodysuit. The outfit, which was in the perfect shade of (what else?) midnight blue, was bejeweled with various beading throughout giving it the appearance of a midnight sky. She paired the look with matching Christian Louboutin boots.

Taylor Swift's Zuhair Murad bodysuit for her Midnights set

For her March 24 show in Las Vegas, Swift switched up her Midnights outfit with a custom look by Zuhair Murad. The midnight blue bodysuit was covered in blue crystals and beaded fringes and even had a matching garter.

During her Los Angeles shows, Swift debuted a new bodysuit by Zuhair Murad for her Midnights set, which was fittingly in midnight blue bodysuit and "adorned with shimmering crystal embellishments, cascading intricate beaded fringes, and accompanied by a coordinating garter," per Zuhair Murad's Instagram .

Taylor Swift Brought Out a New Look for the ‘1989’ Section of ‘The Eras Tour’

Taylor Swift is back on tour, ushering in a sea of Swifties analyzing everything, down to the colors of her outfits and what all of the changes mean for each section of the tour. Now we get to do that again during the European leg of the tour.

One of the biggest reveals of her Paris concert is that Swift has a new outfit for the 1989 part of her concert. The new look is a sparkly crop top with a sparkly skirt and matching sparkly Christian Louboutin boots. Previously the outfit was a Roberto Cavalli matching fringe bra and mini skirt. The new 1989 outfit brings us right back into that era of Swift’s life, as fans will remember she would wear those skirts often back in 2014.

The details of the outfit are fun: The top is an ombré pink, the skirt is an ombré turquoise color, and the shoes are mismatched, with one being the pink coloring and the other being the turquoise color. A user on X (formerly known as Twitter), joked “With all these changes, Taylor should rename it the Eras Tour (Europe’s Version) ” and they’re not wrong. She did open the Europe tour and say “time for change” in the eyes of fans.

With the new outfit came a change to the setlist as well. Swift, who recently released The Tortured Poets Department , added songs from the album to the tour.  “But Daddy I Love Him,” “So High School,” “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?,” “Down Bad,” “Fortnight,” “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” and “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” were all added to the set. And that means that other songs were cut.

But back to this new 1989 outfit

Many fans online pointed out that the change in the 1989 outfit does feel like the original tour looks that Swift was wearing at the time. During The 1989 Tour , Swift had a lot of cropped sparkly tops and sparkly skirts as part of her wardrobe!

@jessicagolich Omg I’m obsessed with the new 1989 fit!! ?? #new1989outfiterastourparis #erastourparisnight1 #erastourfrance #parisnight1 #pariststheerastour #swifties ♬ original sound – JessicaGolich

While her previous fringe top is also a staple of Swift’s wardrobe, this is a much more fitting look for that era of her concerts. Plus it is now another outfit I justwant to add to my wardrobe too!

Every outfit Taylor Swift wears on the Eras Tour, ranked

• Taylor Swift recently kicked off the European leg of The Eras Tour .
• She has worn over 60 different outfits onstage, with unique styles for each album.
• BI's music team ranked them from worst to best, with the original "Lover" bodysuit in the top spot.

The European leg of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is underway, and the pop star came armed with a new slate of songs and designer outfits.

The Eras Tour is arranged as a retrospective of Swift's career, spanning nearly two decades and 11 studio albums . Swift does several outfit changes during a single concert, and each segment has a unique aesthetic to match the album in question.

We ranked every outfit Swift has worn onstage from worst to best.

63. The surprise song dress in yellow

Each night during the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift performs an acoustic set with two surprise songs .

The dress for this segment is designed for a quick change; Swift slips it over the "1989" outfit while still on stage. It makes sense for the dress to be plain. But it doesn't make sense for the fabric to be the same color as Big Bird.

Frankly, the yellow dress is ugly. It's way too yellow.

62. The surprise song dress in orange

It's way too orange.

61. The surprise song dress in green

The green dress isn't terrible, but it's not especially stunning either.

60. The surprise song dress in pink

The original pink variant still isn't anything to write home about, but generally speaking, Swift looks good in pink.

59. The surprise song dress in the other shade of pink

I do appreciate that Swift eschewed the butterfly sleeves and unnecessary ruffles for this updated variant, but this dress still looks like it came from Forever 21.

58. The surprise song dress in blue

Swift wore blue versions of several classic tour looks for the night she announced "1989 (Taylor's Version)."

Blue is the best option for a surprise song dress, partially because the color complements Swift's eyes that put those Georgia stars to shame  and partially because it reminds me of Sharpay Evans singing "Bop to the Top."

57. The surprise song dress in the other shade of blue

You know the drill by now. This one is fine, but not great. Mostly it just looks simpler and cheaper than we'd expect from a billionaire — likely an intentional choice aligned with Swift's masterful PR strategy .

56. "1989" in pink and blue

Swift debuted a new collection of designer looks in Nanterre, France , the first stop on the tour's European leg.

The latest "1989" style by Roberto Cavalli is a sequined top and mismatched skirt, much like the skater skirts from the album's original era .

Unfortunately, the pink and blue ombré combination feels juvenile, perhaps because it reminds me of gender reveal parties .

55. "1989" in orange and purple

During her second concert in France, Swift debuted another variation of this look in orange and purple (with mismatched gold and purple shoes). It's not much better than the first version.

True, Swift doesn't look like a cartoon chipmunk in this color combination, but she does somewhat resemble Dora the Explorer , or a Tide Pod .

54. "1989" in green and pink

This is not a designer outfit, this is a watermelon-flavored gummy candy.

53. "1989" in yellow and red

Swift debuted this red-and-yellow getup during her final performance in France, which also happened to be show No. 87 on The Eras Tour.

Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce , who was spotted in the audience, wears No. 87 for the Kansas City Chiefs. The team's colors are red and yellow .

This variant does remind me of the McDonald's logo, but the color combo gets extra points for Swift's grand romantic gesture. ( Karma is the guy on the Chiefs , haven't you heard?)

52. "Folklore" in yellow

The tiered and embroidered " Folklore " outfits, custom-made by Alberta Ferretti , are almost always winners. The flowy style makes Swift look like a friendly witch, much like her recent collaborator Florence Welch , which is a compliment.

However, this one doesn't suit the era's aesthetic one bit. The mismatch is especially glaring during " My Tears Ricochet ," which is intended to parallel a funeral procession .

This dress was likely designed to evoke the fusion of "Folklore" and "Evermore" into one segment, which came with Swift's newly altered setlist for the European leg. But still, as we previously established, yellow is not Swift's color. It doesn't work.

51. "Folklore" in pink

Swift unveiled a berry-pink rendition of the woodsy "Folklore" gown during her second show in France.

Much like my previous complaint, this is the wrong color for the sister albums segment of the show.

The songs that populate "Folklore" and "Evermore" are full of yearning, betrayal, regret, depression, and even murder . These are not the hot-girl party bops of "1989" or "Midnights," which call for brighter hues and more pizzazz.

And if you think I'm being too nitpicky, I'll kindly remind you that Swift has embraced each album's individual color theory, down to the official Eras Tour branding . I'm simply following her lead.

50. The "Speak Now" ballgown that's growing mushrooms

The flowers plopped all over this dress are flimsy and weird-looking. I would be glad to never see it again.

49. The "Red" romper

Honestly, Swift's outfits never slay during the "Red" segment, but the ombre romper is the worst offender. It's not terrible, but it doesn't do anything for her.

48. The "All Too Well" jacket

Swift dons glittery, floor-grazing outerwear to perform " All Too Well (10 Minute Version) ," which helps make the "Red" segment a bit more sophisticated — though it doesn't match the somber vibe of the song. I much preferred the sleek look that Swift wore to perform the song on "Saturday Night Live."

47. The "22" shirt

There are six versions of this shirt, inspired by an outfit worn by Swift in the "22" music video : "A lot going on at the moment," " We are never getting back together like ever ," "Who's Taylor Swift anyway? Ew," "This is not Taylor's Version," " I bet you think about me ," and, most recently, " I knew you were trouble ." The shirt is always paired with a black bowler hat.

This look doesn't exactly scream high fashion, but it gets extra points for the nostalgia factor. The hat is ugly, but it gets even more extra points for the cuteness factor, since Swift always gives it to a special fan in the crowd .

46. The "Fearless" dress in gold

This is a custom Roberto Cavalli dress , embellished with Swarovski crystals, but somehow it looks like a stringy array of ramen noodles .

45. The "Fearless" dress in silver

Silver is slightly better than gold, but the tassels still look like octopus tentacles.

44. The cupcake-shaped "Speak Now" ballgown

It's too puffy!

43. The "Karma" jacket in pink

It's too pink!

42. "Midnights" in pink and purple

This is a much nicer shade of pink.

41. "Midnights" in blue and purple

Blue is a natural fit for the " Midnights " segment, especially because the standard album cover features a light-blue font.

40. "Midnights" with extra sparkles

This version of the T-shirt dress is slightly elevated, with multicolored gems scattered across the fabric.

39. The "Lavender Haze" look

The fuzzy coat that opens the "Midnights" segment is a reference to the "Lavender Haze" music video . This connection is most obvious when Swift wears the opalescent T-shirt dress underneath.

It kind of looks like Swift skinned a Muppet to make this coat, but don't worry: she confirmed in a behind-the-scenes clip  that she would never wear real fur.

38. The "Karma" jacket in blue

Blue-on-blue is a logical combo for the closing number, if a little predictable.

37. The "Karma" jacket with extra colors

The multicolored fringe is a little chaotic, but it's a fun way to spice things up for the final song of the evening.

36. The "Karma" jacket in magenta

The contrast between Swift's bright skin, dark-blue bodysuit, and hot-pink fringe is very compelling.

35. The "Tortured Poets" gown

I assume the new outfit for " The Tortured Poets Department " segment is designed to look like a "crumpled-up piece of paper lying here," evoking both the tragedy of " All Too Well " and the dark-academia aesthetic of the album itself.

It's a solid concept, but I'm sorry: I simply cannot support Swift's obsession with high-low mullet dresses . I thought we left this trend behind in 2010.

Worse still, the lyrics scrawled on the fabric ("I love you, it's ruining my life," from the single " Fortnight ") make it look like Swift is wearing a high-school theater costume, not a couture Vivienne Westwood gown.

34. The "Tortured Poets" military jacket

Swift adds a military jacket atop her "Tortured Poets" gown to sing " The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived ," an impassioned performance that casts Swift as a soldier on the front lines of a battlefield. The look is still a little corny, but at least it fully embraces the theatrical costume vibe.

33. The "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" outfit

After singing "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived," Swift and her dancers perform a brief skit, in which Swift is forced to strip off her dress, put on heels, and smile through the pain.

The onstage outfit change yields a neutral-colored bralette and matching high-waisted bottoms, subsequently topped with a duster. The different color combos include black and gold, white with silver accents, and sparkly gray with a metallic jacket.

These ensembles recall the jackets and two-piece sets from The 1989 World Tour, combined with the ringmaster motif from the "Red" era.

At the time, Swift was battling an eating disorder and often feared she might faint onstage.

While the new Eras Tour outfit is relatively simple, this callback adds an extra layer of poignance to Swift's performance of " I Can Do It With a Broken Heart ."

32. The classic "Evermore" dress

For the majority of the US leg, Swift only had one look for the " Evermore " segment: a mustard-yellow dress that screams cottagecore. It's cute but nothing particularly special, and it has grown a little dull over time.

Note: There is a slightly less saturated version of this dress, but they're so similar, they don't warrant separate entries on this list.

31. The bronze "Evermore" dress

Swift has only worn this alternate "Evermore" dress a handful of times, but it made for a nice change of pace — and the deep, sparkling bronze compliments the moody, wintery vibe of songs like "'Tis the Damn Season," "Champagne Problems," and "Tolerate It." 

30. The "Speak Now" ballgown in gold

The ballgown is a callback to the Speak Now World Tour, when Swift wore sparkly gowns while singing " Enchanted ." For The Eras Tour, Swift pumped up the drama with voluminous skirts and embroidered jewels.

The gold version is fine, but looks slightly cheaper than its counterparts — like an extravagant prom dress. 

29. The "Speak Now" ballgown in silver

Instead of muted gold, silver offers a lovely contrast with the purple visuals of "Speak Now."

28. The "Speak Now" ballgown in pink

The baby-pink version of the "Speak Now" ballgown is the best among the original set of options, with its flattering neckline and strips of sparkles that resemble falling rain.

27. The "Fearless" dress with metallic fringe

The newest "Fearless" look that Swift debuted in France is a solid, mid-tier choice. It's much better than the era's stringy options, though it doesn't measure up to the original fringed mini dress.

26. The "Lover" bodysuit with purple tassels

The deep purple hue made for an exciting change when Swift debuted this look in East Rutherford, New Jersey — but the tassels throw off the whole effect. They make the bodysuit look cheaper than it is.

25. "1989" in orange

The orange set is nice, but it's the weakest link of the original Roberto Cavalli sets (and signals that she'll wear the yellow surprise-song dress. Yuck).

Maybe it's a subtle Easter egg for "Karma," the rumored album that Swift scrapped in between "1989" and "Reputation." (In the music video for "The Man," the word is graffitied on the wall in orange paint.)

24. "1989" in green

The green is prettier than orange, but not as pretty as pink.

23. "1989" in pink

Although hot pink isn't quite right for the overall vibe of "1989," it does pair well with the girlish charm of " Blank Space " and the fiery passion of " Bad Blood ."

22. "1989" in blue

After 26 concerts, we finally got to see Swift perform songs from "1989" wearing the album's distinctive color. This glittering blue set recalls the New York City skyline that inspired Swift's iconic pop songs.

21. The "Midnights" bodysuit with millennial charm

The newest edition of the "Midnights" bodysuit was designed by Zuhair Murad. It subtly evokes millennial fashion trends with a halter neckline, waist slits, and a chevron-esque pattern.

20. The "Midnights" bodysuit with cutouts

This version of the "Midnights" bodysuit, which Swift debuted in Los Angeles, is likely designed to resemble an outfit that Swift wore during the 1989 World Tour .

It's one of her most daring looks yet , but the sheer patches in the abdomen look a little misplaced.

19. The "Lover" bodysuit in blue and yellow

The glitzy "Lover" bodysuits, custom-made by Versace, are always gorgeous. But there's something slightly off about the blue-and-yellow color combination. The tones are too muted to complement the show's opening visuals.

18. The "Lover" bodysuit in orange and pink

In theory, this is a strong color combo; it reminds me of a sunset. But in reality, the bodysuit is just slightly too orange.

17. "The Man" blazer in orange

Swift slips a bedazzled blazer over her "Lover" bodysuit to perform " The Man " and " You Need to Calm Down ." The latest iteration is a pretty pale orange, though it doesn't feel as powerful as the other options.

16. "The Man" blazer in silver

The glittering silver blazer was the first costume change ever seen during The Eras Tour. With the matching red-bottomed Christian Louboutin boots, it remains an effective mix of elements.

15. "The Man" blazer in black

We all love the silver blazer, but the black blazer is extremely hot.

14. "Folklore" in blue

The sheer, baby-blue cape sleeves are gorgeous, but this color isn't quite the right fit for "Folklore," which is not a blue-sounding album in the slightest.

13. "Folklore" in purple

"Folklore" isn't a purple-sounding album either, but this dress does look like something a young widow might wear in a Jane Austen film adaptation , so it works.

12. "Folklore" in cream

Cream is a fitting color for "Folklore," an album that evokes earthy and neutral tones.

11. "Folklore" with lace

This is only slightly different from "Folklore" in cream, but the lace adds a new edge — romantic and old-timey, well-suited for the "pioneer woman in a forbidden love affair" that Swift imagined while she was writing these songs.

10. The "Speak Now" ballgown in blue

Although blue is not the traditional "Speak Now" color, everything about this dress is truly stunning, from the floral details to the elegant train.

Plus, the color recalls a sky-blue ballgown that Swift wore during the original "Speak Now" tour in 2011 , giving this look an extra layer of nostalgic charm.

9. The "Speak Now" ballgown with embellishments

The "Speak Now" gown that Swift debuted in France is the best one yet.

The skirt has just enough volume to look elegant instead of puffy — while the delicate, glittering details evoke a similar dress that Swift wore to perform "Enchanted" in 2011 (designed by Reem Acra), which is currently on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville .

8. The original "Midnights" bodysuit

The navy bodysuit is an Eras Tour classic, dark and twinkling like midnight rain. It's an almost-perfect choice to close the show.

7. "Folklore" in green

Out of all the flowy "Folklore" gowns, green is the best fit for the album's aura. It makes Swift look like a woodland fairy.

6. The original "Fearless" dress

Swift's flapper-inspired dress is ideal for performing classics like " You Belong With Me " and " Love Story ." The fringe is fun and youthful, just like the original "Fearless" era, but paired with knee-high boots, it's still chic and modern.

In fact, according to Vogue , the dress is designed to resemble a similar Roberto Cavalli dress that Swift wore during her original "Fearless" tour.

"We chose a beautiful champagne color, which is very Taylor," designer Fausto Puglisi told the magazine.

5. The only "Reputation" outfit

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The one-legged "Reputation" jumpsuit, also by Roberto Cavalli, is bold and sexy with a hint of danger, just like the album itself. Puglisi described it as "more of a badass, rock and roll look."

4. The scalloped "Midnights" bodysuit

There is something especially ethereal about this version of the "Midnights" bodysuit, custom-made by Oscar de la Renta.

The blue has a slightly warmer, richer tone — a better match for Swift's ocean eyes and pinkish undertones than navy — and the scalloped detailing on the bodice is exquisite up close. Paired with Swift's now-signature garter, this look is a total knockout.

3. "The Man" blazer in hot pink

Swift looks like a Barbie come to life in this version of the blazer, which she debuted onstage in Argentina. It also gives her performance of "The Man" a flirty, feminine edge.

2. The "Lover" bodysuit in pink and red

Swift also debuted this pink version of her opening look in Argentina. The gorgeous combination of shades, from baby pink to strawberry and fuchsia, compliments the tone of songs like " Cruel Summer " and " Lover ."

1. The original "Lover" bodysuit

This was the first outfit Swift wore when she arrived on The Eras Tour stage back in March, and to this day, it remains the best.

The blue, purple, and pink gems create the perfect color combo, especially suited for the warmth and whimsy of the "Lover" era.

Taylor Swift Now Wears 2 Different Color Shoes During ‘1989’ Section of ‘Eras Tour’ Shows

Taylor Swift brought a mismatched aesthetic to the Eras Tour ’s 1989 section — from her head to her feet.

Swift, 34, resumed her Eras concerts in Paris beginning on Thursday, May 9, where she reinvented her wardrobe for the 1989 set based on her 2014 album of the same name. Swift sported a sparkly, pink crop top and a bright blue miniskirt for the performance. On her feet, the pop star wore one heeled Christian Louboutin bootie in each color.

Swift traded her 1989 costume again on Friday, May 10, opting for an orange bustier and lilac skirt. She again wore mismatched Louboutin heels, this time in orange and purple.

Swift kicked off her Eras Tour in March 2023, wearing a Roberto Cavalli two-piece with crystal beads for the 1989 era. While she alternated the color of the Cavalli look between gigs, it was always monochromatic. The ensemble also perfectly matched a pair of sequin Louboutin ankle boots.

Many Swifties have praised the Grammy winner for starting a new footwear trend earlier this week as others debated the potential reasons behind the change.

“This outfit is so interesting me because like are there any other variations?? If so, will it be the same colors as the other 1989 sets??” one X user theorized. “Will we always have mismatched shoes now???? Either way RIP to my 1989 swift alert score I’ll never guess that right again.”

Another fan speculated that the boot colors could “give us a hint on the surprise songs .”

During each Eras show, Swift performs two acoustic renditions of songs not already included on the setlist. She initially planned not to repeat a musical selection unless she messed up the lyrics or it was a Midnights track. When Swift kickstarted the international leg of the tour in November 2023, she decided to reset her options .

“There used to be rules for the acoustic section, and now I’ve just decided that I can do whatever I want,” she quipped on Friday.

Taylor Swift Debuts Several New Outfits During Her 3rd Paris Eras Tour Show: See the Looks!

From sparkly skater skirts to electrifying gowns, the pop star is once again proving she never goes out of style

Taylor Swift is shaking up her Eras Tour wardrobe!

Not only did the singer update her tour's setlist ( folding in an entirely new chapter for The Tortured Poets Department ) before kicking off its European leg, but she also made some alterations to her wardrobe — which she debuted at her latest Paris show on Saturday, May 11.

First, during the 1989 portion of her career-spanning set, the singer-songwriter, 34, rocked her recently debuted sparkly two-piece set from Roberto Cavalli — which is reminiscent of the ones she wore during the 1989 World Tour — only this time in pink and green.

To strut and (fittingly!) sing, “we never go out of style,” onstage at La Défense Arena, Swift sported a strappy bra top in a rich, glittery shade of green.

On the bottom, she wore a high-waisted skater skirt — which perfectly encapsulated the Tumblr-core style that was everywhere during the album’s original 2014 release — in a stunning ombré that faded from magenta to blush.

And, staying true to her previous colorways of the Roberto Cavalli set, she completed the look with mismatched Christian Louboutin boots, this time in complementary shades of pink and green.

For her epic transition in the TTPD track “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” — in which she swaps a custom, lyric-covered Vivienne Westwood dress for another sparkly two-piece set — Swift debuted a new silver look, as seen in fan-captured photos .

Rather than dark black, the singer’s bra top and high-waisted hot pants were a glittery shade of gray — a slight shift, but still true to her latest album’s monochrome palette.

During perhaps the most-anticipated part of the Eras Tour setlist, when the performer reveals and performs the “surprise songs” of the evening, Swift debuted an electrifying gown, a photo taken by a concert-goer shows.

While performing the tracks — Fearless ' "Hey Stephen" and Midnights ’ "Maroon” — she wore the same boho halter dress she donned for her first Paris show, only this time in a stunning shade of orange.

Especially with her acoustic guitar in hand, the gown screams Taylor Swift — her 2006 self-titled debut album — and particularly the orange dress she donned to sing in a pile of flowers for the “Our Song” music video .

Taylor Swift Just Wore Mismatched Shoes At The Eras Tour

But Carrie Bradshaw did it first.

Like many of us, Taylor Swift may be a Sex and the City fan, too. The singer gave her Eras Tour a total makeover after resuming it on May 9, in part to incorporate songs from her latest album The Tortured Poets Department . However, rather than just add in a new era , Swift decided to refresh her entire tour wardrobe, possibly taking cues from Sarah Jessica Parker’s SATC character.

For the 1989 act of the Eras Tour, Swift typically wears a matching monochrome set with a beaded fringe bra top and mini-skirt in one of many colors. But for her first Paris show, she decided to mix things up a bit, and her shoes seem like they’re right out of Carrie Bradshaw’s fashion playbook.

Taylor’s New 1989 Look

As the intro to her 2014 hit “Style” played, Swift entered the stage in a pink crop top with a halter neck and a mermaid-blue high-waisted skirt. Roberto Cavalli custom-designed both ombré pieces, just like her previous 1989 looks.

She paired the ensemble with mismatched custom Christian Louboutin high-heeled ankle boots — in the same magenta and blue shades as her outfit.

The Carrie Bradshaw Inspiration

SJP would likely be very proud of Swift’s imaginative footwear choice. In the Season 3 episode “Escape From New York,” Carrie Bradshaw stepped out in mismatched Louboutin strappy heels, one in a light blue and the other in a metallic pink, much like Swift’s new 1989 shoes.

As Parker explained years later, Carrie’s shoes were totally intentional , saying that she and SATC costume designer Patricia Field chose to wear one of each pair they received. “Perhaps because both were so delicious in color and seemed in harmony with the dress but also because we simply loved doing 1 of each,” she wrote in an Instagram comment.

In the decades since that episode aired, Parker has kept up the tradition of wearing mismatched shoes . In October, she donned a $450 pair of heels from her own SJP footwear line that included one black and one champagne-colored heel. And not only were they sold that way (this pair is currently sold out), but she proudly sells other mismatched pairs , too.

Given their shared love of writing, it makes sense for Swift to identify with Bradshaw. But now they have some fashion inspiration in common as well.
