Taylor Swift’s tour outfit is one of the most expensive in pop history. It cost more than £250,000.
She wore 13 clothes on the first UK stop of her Eras tour, which is her lucky number. Two of them were brand-new and were thought to cost more than £10,000. They were a blue dress and a yellow top and pink skirt by Roberto Cavalli.
Versace, Vivienne Westwood, Zuhair Murad, and other couture brands make her other stage clothes just for her. She also has at least ten pairs of shoes and boots made just for her by the famous French designer Christian Louboutin, whose bottoms are red.
But it looks like not many of the unique designs were made with British weather in mind, because the 34-year-old megastar was clearly cold during her first show at the Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on Friday.
Even during the acoustic part, she had to stop because the wind got too strong. She couldn’t play her guitar because her hand was frozen in a claw shape.
She told the 73,000 people who had bought tickets: “I’m sorry, everyone.” I’ve never had this happen before, but my hand is stuck. I’m only going to warm it up. I feel so ashamed.
“It was clear Taylor was freezing,” one fan said. While dancing during the faster parts, she seemed fine, but when she played the guitar or piano during the slower songs, she looked like she was really fighting to stay warm.
There will likely be icy winds and rain and drizzle at the last of three concerts at the open-air field tonight.
People in Britain are worried about how they will stay warm this summer, which is being called “one of the wettest to date.”
The Met Office says it will rain more and be about 13C (55F) when she gets to Liverpool on Thursday for three shows.
