Taylor Swift unveiled brand-new “Fearless” and “Tortured Poets” dresses that sent fans spiraling and clowning for a possible announcement that never came.
The new outfits debuted in Milan, Italy, a country where the singer-songwriter hasn’t performed in 13 years. The “Fearless” dress mimics the sparkle, shine and fringe of her other second Eras outfits, except this one is designed in gold and black tiger stripes.
“I was looking at the list of cities we get to tour and I thought, ‘I just can’t wait to party with those Italians,’” Swift said at the top of her show in Italy’s fashion capital.
During “The Tortured Poets Department” set, Swift appeared in a white gown reminiscent of the “I love you, it’s ruining my life” gown she’s worn for 31 European shows. In Milan, her gown said, “Who’s afraid of little old me? You should be.”
Beating the ‘Cruel Summer’ heat in ItalyThe cruel summer heat continued in Milan. The Italian city took a page out of the Zürich heat prepardness playbook − where Swift played prior to coming to Italy − putting in place similar heat safety precautions to protect fans.
Before doors to the San Siro Stadium opened, workers handed out reflective covers to fans camped out for hours. According to AccuWeather, the temperature high for the Italian city is 85 degrees with “possible danger of dehydration and heat stroke while doing strenuous activities.”
Misters on the floor in Italy coated Swifties with water droplets while free water was given out until 6 p.m. After that, fans could buy water for €3.
