- Taylor Swift's onstage wardrobe typically includes sparkling dresses and flowing gowns.
- But sometimes, the "Anti-Hero" singer performs in daring, skin-baring outfits.
If you've ever seen Taylor Swift perform — maybe at the Eras Tour or via the movie version of the event — she was likely decked out in her signature concert wardrobe.
Think dazzling dresses, flowing gowns, and bedazzled bodysuits. Swift knows her tried-and-true stage outfits, and she sticks to them.
But every once in a while, the "Midnights" musician opts for something a little bolder.
Here's a look at the most daring looks Swift has worn onstage, from see-through catsuits to Victoria's Secret lingerie.
Taylor Swift made a daring quick change while performing at the 2013 BRIT Awards.
She began her "I Knew You Were Trouble" performance in a unique white gown that was daring in its own right. It had dramatic sleeves, a floral bodice with tan-colored panels, and a wide skirt lined with a row of ruffles below the hips.
But in the middle of the song, Swift's dancers helped her to remove the outer layer, revealing a black outfit underneath. The second look included lace sleeves, a corset-style top, and tight shorts.
She hit the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show stage months later in a quirky ensemble.
Matching the "British Invasion" theme during one portion of the show, Swift stepped out wearing a Union Jack-inspired minidress.
It had a wrapped bodice, a diamond-shaped cutout at the chest, and a thick train attached in the back.
Swift wore the bold look with Union Jack sandals and a matching top hat.
She performed at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show again in 2014, and wore multiple pieces of lingerie from the brand.
Her outfits that night included a baby-pink lingerie set to perform "Blank Space" during the "Dream Girls" segment, and a black lace number to sing "Style" for the "Angel Ball" portion.
Swift's pink outfit was made from satin and included a lace-lined robe over a slip dress. Her black ensemble was a bit sleeker, featuring a bralette, high-waisted underwear, and a lace overlay.
2015 was the year Swift wore one of her most see-through bodysuits to date.
For BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend concert, Swift donned a long-sleeved mesh leotard that was entirely see-through.
Rows of silver sequins were placed strategically across the garment, and matching fringe lined its sleeves and bottoms. She wore it with see-through ankle boots.
One of her 1989 World Tour bodysuits was also a standout.
Swift brought Justin Timberlake onstage during a stop in Los Angeles, California, and she wore a deep-blue bodysuit for the occasion.
The garment was covered in rows of blue beads that sparkled in the light, alongside sheer rows of mesh lining that showed her skin.
Swift took her signature bedazzled look to a new level at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
Designed by Jessica Jones, Swift's glittering jumpsuit had long sleeves, pants that covered her heeled boots, and all-over beadwork.
But there was also a daring element to the garment: see-through slits of mesh fabric that lined each sleeve and pant leg.
She wore another bold catsuit in 2021 for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
Her Greta Constantine outfit was crafted with a shimmering metallic fabric underneath a layer of dark lace.
It had a high neckline and long sleeves, and Swift wore it with leather ankle boots.
Swift sported memorable outfits throughout the Eras Tour, but she debuted her most daring look six months in.
During a string of shows in Los Angeles, California, Swift wore a new version of her now-famous, midnight-blue bodysuit.
Zuhair Murad designed the sleeveless garment, which had a high neckline, a fringe-lined hem, and bedazzled cutouts across its bodice.
It made for the most daring look Swift wore during the Eras Tour.
