Taylor Swift Sparks Debate With New ‘Eras’ Tour Outfit During July 4th Show

The singer, 34, kicked off the European leg of her Eras Tour in Paris on May 9 in a number of new outfits (and introduced a new setlist, of course), but one outfit stood out from the rest.

During the newest section of the show — for the Tortured Poets Department era — Swift slipped off her white dress after “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” in an interlude. While playing along with her dancers, Swift shimmied the dress down (petulantly, might we add, in a masterful bit of acting) to reveal a sparkly bra top and hotpants by Vivienne Westwood. The “Anti-Hero” singer is only in the revealing outfit for moments before she then slips a Vivienne Westwood gold jacket with sparkly lapels over top for the rest of the interlude — and then launches into “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.”

The entire bit feels very Old Hollywood, including the graphics on her screens, and if we didn’t know any better, we would have guessed the next song coming may have been “Clara Bow,” based on the staging and the costumes. Alas, it was the fan-favorite “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” that marked the end of the TTPD era of the setlist.
