In the lead-up to the Grammys, Swift’s fans and journalists eagerly searched for hints about upcoming re-recordings. However, Swift’s street style, often overlooked, held hidden clues about her double album’s track list.
Beginning in October 2023, Swift subtly referenced her songs in her outfits. Sarah Chapelle, a Swift style commentator, delved into the singer’s archives and uncovered these hidden messages.
A hair clip worn during a sushi outing in October 2023, exactly six months before the album’s release, hinted at the song ‘Vigilante Shit.’ The $2,850 Saint Laurent bag, named after Adolphe Mouron Cassandre, foreshadowed ‘Cassandra,’ a song widely believed to be about Swift’s phone call conversation with Kanye West.
Furthermore, Swift’s pairing of The Row’s ‘Robin’ sweater with a hooded maxi dress in January 2023 hinted at the song ‘Robin.’
These subtle clues demonstrate Swift’s meticulous planning and her desire to connect with fans through her fashion choices. It serves as a reminder that her street style is not merely an afterthought but an integral part of her artistic expression.
