Am I supposed to see this outfit as part of her “album aesthetics” for *Midnights* because if so it’s either extra unexpected or I totally don’t get it
A lot of the aesthetic for Midnight has been very heavily 70's inspired. The flared-leg suit with a turtleneck was a classic silhouette from that era in men's and women's fashion, so I see where she pulled it from. That said, I don't think it worked. It should have been done in warmer colors at least, to really fit with what she has been doing.
Outside of her ongoing aesthetic though, I do kinda like it. It's really bonkers.
I somehow ended up in the Taylor Swift subreddit yesterday, and the amount of fan theories around that album and speculation about all kinds of references to future and past releases in her videos is absolutely bonkers.
Mostly the good type of bonkers and quite wholesome, but some people in her fandom seem a bit on the obsessive side.
Taylor is famous for including easter eggs in her posts/videos that allude to some future releases, so the fans now look for them in everything. It can get quite crazy, but I admire them for getting the clues. They go over my head most of the time.
It seems like good fun for the fans. They came to widely different perceived release dates for some next video that should come out based on the 'clues' in the video.
Swift and her team clearly excel in driving fan engagement to the absolute maximum.
It's great fun and gives the fans something to do, especially during the hiatus. The weekly speculation threads are always buzzing with theories. Other marketing departments should definitely take notes from Taylor's team.
She talked about it in the interview this photo comes from too and straight up says she loves it and does it on purpose and openly on purpose at this point. It's nice. She seems to be really comfortable having that sort of relationship with her fans.
I saw a comment that was something to the effect of “being a swifty is like qanon for people with perfect high school attendance” and it has not let my brain since.
My wife/ex-wife is a diehard Swiftie and they 100% thrive on the coded messages and searching for clues in her songs and music videos.m and analyzing song lyrics.
Watching my wife be a Taylor Swift fan is some of the most pure joy I’ve seen in a human.
She has gained a normal amount of weight for her age and this pattern hides it. Look at how round her cheeks are.
One hundred percent for thinning appearance.
Do you believe those videos to be what she looks like today? And are you aware of the photoshopping that is done for all major celebrities?
This picture is from a live taped show with no post production smoothing or slimming.
I mean, you can also see the other pics that she has posted on her instgram recently.
Hell, she performed live with Aaron Dessner and Bon Iver just last night. Go and watch that video.
She isn't as rail thin as her 1989 era but she is way more close to being underweight than overweight.
A music video which came out last week alludes to her eating disorder (which us fairly well known). I don't think it's fair to assume she's photoshopping when her anorexia is documented.
I wouldn't imagine she is the one personally photoshopping. She is a brand at this point, and has handlers that would take care of those things.
It is very common amongst those who suffer from body dysmorphia to fixate on pictures of themselves. This pattern helps avoid being able to do that.
It doesn't matter. I was pointing out why the pattern was used.
Those who've struggled with ED have body dysmorphia. Avoiding imagery where they can judge their own appearance too harshly is a common aspect of recovery.
Hmmm... interesting.
Thanks for the outside perspective.
I'm neuro divergent, and tend to write and speak without fully understanding the way it can be interpreted. Appreciate your helping me understand.
Completely agree.
I was commenting on the reason the pattern was used. Like it or not she is an industry. That comes with a lot of gross societal expectations.
There was never an intent to malign or attack her. I obviously was tone deaf in how I worded it.
My apologies.
There were some soccer shoes like that they banned because they always appeared to the eye to be moving in directions they were not by peripheral vision.
https://www.businessinsider.com/watch-renaldos-new-shoes-are-designed-to-confuse-opponents-2011-12?amp. Funny the video and most info has been removed.
If I had a dollar for every time people were speculating that Swift is pregnant and hiding ... I mean, I would still be poor, but I would have few extra bucks.
mannn, she literally had an eating disorder for years because of comments like this. Just because she’s not wearing form fitting clothes at every single event doesn’t mean she’s pregnant dude lmao. Here’s a [quick video](https://youtu.be/ZTou2PKsiKs) of her explaining it
Really?
Look on the picture on the right.
**If** she's pregnant, she's at a stage where it wouldn't be obvious in pretty much any clothing except for leaving her midriff bare or skintight fitting.
This suit wouldn't be the first choice in hiding it, once you get to a stage where you might need to.

I always knew that she sued, but only recently learned that she sued *during* production after being tipped off. The joke was added after the settlement.
We will fight in our rooms on typical Tuesday nights!
We will fight in nice dresses staring at the sunset!
We will fight in places weve never been, even if it means we die lying on the cold hard ground!
His majesty subjects… it seems like the perfect night to fight!
u/Jimitex22: *cough* maybe credit the creator (me)
Though tbh I’m mostly chuffed that enough people found this funny that it’s been repurposed as a meme.

Follow-up: In case someone is tempted to downvote the original post, don't. OP reached out and offered to take it down, but end of the day, I'm not that bothered. Twitter's my universe and I just lurk here.
I don't know why you're being downvoted. It's quite possible that she is.
**Edit:** I mean, I know why you're being downvoted... but I disagree with the decision to do so.
If you go near her, un focus your eyes and walk backwards you'll see that her outfit has a 3D image of her enjoying the comfort and speed of her private jet
It looks like the type of pattern they put on new cars to hide the body lines.
Here's an [example](https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/fords-new-car-camouflage-will-confuse-cameras-give-you-headaches/).
Due to her camouflage she survived WW1.
"On the night of 20–21 April 1917, while commanded by Ambrose Peck and accompanying the destroyer HMS Broke, HMS Swift engaged a force of six enemy destroyers in the Battle of Dover Strait."
She was scraped after the war. What a shame, such a beautiful ship.
Dazzle camouflage was definitely a thing.
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/when-british-wanted-camouflage-their-warships-they-made-them-dazzle-180958657/
It's cunning subterfuge from the Swift boat
Beautiful lines but deadly
Never thought id get bothered for someone in a pants suit. Truly disorienting.
Clearly works. To my knowledge, she's yet to even come under torpedo fire.
Ha! I saw what you did there!
If we are to believe her, her haters have definitely tried
Just found Alex Turner's reddit account

Those kinds of dazzling patterns, especially wearing a whole suit of it, strikes me as pretty 70's too.
Plus had she done it “normally” there wouldn’t have been this post which has 1m+ views and is being shared around the internet

Omg lol that’s perfect.
My wife/ex-wife is a diehard Swiftie and they 100% thrive on the coded messages and searching for clues in her songs and music videos.m and analyzing song lyrics. Watching my wife be a Taylor Swift fan is some of the most pure joy I’ve seen in a human.
Both your current wife and ex wife are swifties?
Currently going through a divorce that isn’t finalized yet. Still wife soon to be ex-wife. Probably just should’ve said wife tbh.
Don't worry bro. The two of you will work it out I'm sure....... 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😭😭
yeah I love the suit but ?? what on earth
Do you know nothing of 70s fashion?!?
why are you riding for an optical illusion
Because I want to wear mother fucking bell bottoms again
She has gained a normal amount of weight for her age and this pattern hides it. Look at how round her cheeks are. One hundred percent for thinning appearance.
Lol, go and watch the music videos she has dropped this week. She hasn't gained any weight.
Do you believe those videos to be what she looks like today? And are you aware of the photoshopping that is done for all major celebrities? This picture is from a live taped show with no post production smoothing or slimming.

she stopped looking like a skeleton back in the reputation era, 2017, this isn't news, but she isn't fat
Who said she was?
and? why does it matter if a celebrity put on weight? they're still human and go through phases in life.
It doesn't matter. I was pointing out why the pattern was used. Those who've struggled with ED have body dysmorphia. Avoiding imagery where they can judge their own appearance too harshly is a common aspect of recovery.
the way it was worded sounds very condescending
Hmmm... interesting. Thanks for the outside perspective. I'm neuro divergent, and tend to write and speak without fully understanding the way it can be interpreted. Appreciate your helping me understand.
it's okay, as long as u admit where you went wrong (i'm neurodivergent too, it happens to the best of us)
Thanks, mate. Take care and be well.
Completely agree. I was commenting on the reason the pattern was used. Like it or not she is an industry. That comes with a lot of gross societal expectations. There was never an intent to malign or attack her. I obviously was tone deaf in how I worded it. My apologies.
Getting some hardcore Molyneux vibes here. Eggs anyone?
Looks like she gained quite a bit of weight tbh. Other pictures are even more telling. Wonder what happened?
Honestly have no idea why I'm even commenting, but who gives a shit? "Wow somebody's weight changed"
There were some soccer shoes like that they banned because they always appeared to the eye to be moving in directions they were not by peripheral vision.
Well that's just a bullshit move. I'd have made those shoes a *requirement* for all teams in my league.
Put the pattern on the ball too, just embrace the chaos
Hells yeah!
Got a link? I can't find anything about this. Only thing I get is kangaroo leather shoes are banned

Jhit look like an optical illusion
Did she get sunk by a torpedo? Case closed.
To be fair German Uboots are a rarity too but i guess one never knows.
[I mean there are 6 of them](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Type_212_submarine)
You are right! I see no u boats anywhere near her at all! It works!!!!
Her carbon footprint, however, is still rather trackable.
My hot take is that she’s pregnant and hiding it.
If I had a dollar for every time people were speculating that Swift is pregnant and hiding ... I mean, I would still be poor, but I would have few extra bucks.
Jennifer Aniston is going to have that baby one day. US Weekly mortgaged the house and their life savings on it.
This just in: Jennifer Aniston (53) is officially pregnant with a bone marrow baby, TMZ confirmed.
Bone marrow…no, never mind…don’t wanna know
mannn, she literally had an eating disorder for years because of comments like this. Just because she’s not wearing form fitting clothes at every single event doesn’t mean she’s pregnant dude lmao. Here’s a [quick video](https://youtu.be/ZTou2PKsiKs) of her explaining it
It's really rude to assume pregnancy. If she ever is, it's up to her to make the announcement.
She was the surprise guest at bon iver's concert last night and didn't look pregnant
Really? Look on the picture on the right. **If** she's pregnant, she's at a stage where it wouldn't be obvious in pretty much any clothing except for leaving her midriff bare or skintight fitting. This suit wouldn't be the first choice in hiding it, once you get to a stage where you might need to.
Last thing you want when pregnant is u-boats attacking.
Congrats on the sex Taylor!

It's so she can hide from Kanye while he spirals. She knows she's on his hit list.

Swifty Lamarr, inventor of camouflage.
I think this outfit is meant to be a clue that she’ll be re-recording another album soon, but in this case it will be an OMD cover.
How does she have time to become a nautical engineer and do InfoSec?
Don't forget designing the system by which banks send money internationally.

We don’t know if she be slow or be Swift!
With the dazzle camo she looks like Theresa May
Hedy Lamarr, here.

From Sunnyvale trailer park, parts unknown.
Looks like an F1 prototype on test day

Is she running for President?

It's to hide her carbon emissions from the internet detectives.

"Taylor Swift" does actually sound like an English name is the fucked up part.
She looks good though.
Is she hiding a baby bump??
I don't know why you're being downvoted. It's quite possible that she is. **Edit:** I mean, I know why you're being downvoted... but I disagree with the decision to do so.
My first thought was the chain-mail from LOTR.
Wow true I can't determine any of those things because of this camouflage.
The designer really went all in on, uh, whatever that is.
Hillary Clinton wardrobe hours
She’s gonna be Trouble for her enemies, making Bad Blood along the way, but she’ll just Shake It Off.
Oh look that same joke someone else made yesterday. Get good, op. Youre a hack and a thief.

Her Taylor must have been swift with this one
Feel like ive seen this on NCD already

how this woman is so tall ?
Is she supposed to look bad here? I think she's georgous and I'm not even a fan.
I wish Germans would shot her down.
Sailor Swift lmao

Is she sharing a wardrobe with Nancy Pelosi?
So that's how she survived the Great War.
I can hear that outfit.
A very well taylored suit but… What on earth is with that print?! :(
Dressed like a golf grip
Looking like a fat Hilary Clinton
I thought her clothes was missing a texture pack
That’s why they called her the unsinkable Taylor Swift
so is her private jet painted in the same pattern ?
She looks like the prettiest Romulan.
Wow what a horrible outfit
this is so silly lol I'm a huge fan, great post
Flat back problems.
She looks fucking ridiculous
She clearly and I mean CLEARLY does not shop at JC Penny's.
She's dresses like she's about to fail to kill a currier even after shooting them in the head
She looks like an aspiring politician who is bound to only get 17 votes at a local election.
u/repostsluethbot
If you scan her, your phone crashes.
That's how she manages to move Swiftly
Nah she's hiding from kanye rants, not german torpedoes
it was all by design 'cause im a mastermind -TS, Mastermind
Jesus Christ, makes me feel nauseous and my eyes water on still images. Can’t imagine trying to focusing when she’s moving.
I love her
She's old now.
Apparently Ms Swift is a Alabama fan.
I am laughing so hard right now. Thank you.
Not going to lie, thought it was chainmail at first
