Have you heard of the Instagram account @youbelonginthis? This dedicated Taylor Swift fan account is famous for sharing endless outfit ideas for the pop star, meticulously photoshopping her into runway looks from designers like Schiaparelli, Loewe, and Tory Burch. The results are a far cry from Swift’s usual accessible style, instead offering bold, avant-garde fashion. While it seemed like a fun game, few would have expected the account’s influence to actually reach Swift herself.
Then came August 2023. While leaving a party for her *The Eras Tour* staff in London, Swift was spotted wearing a Vivienne Westwood tartan check skirt suit and white ruffled shirt. This ensemble was strikingly similar to a look from the @youbelonginthis account, posted just three months prior! The revelation sent the internet into a frenzy, with fans speculating that Swift was secretly following the account.
It’s certainly a bizarre coincidence. Swift has been seen wearing multiple custom Vivienne Westwood pieces throughout her tour, and she even dined in a similar off-the-shoulder dress from the brand recently. Perhaps this is a case of Westwood simply being a current fashion favorite for Swift. However, there’s also a possibility that Joseph Cassell Falconer, Swift’s long-time stylist, could be drawing inspiration from the account. Regardless of the true source, the internet is abuzz with theories, and everyone is eager to see if Swift will ever wear another fan-designed look in the future.
