From putting out an entire album titled "Red" to debuting a track on "Midnights" titled "Maroon," it's clear that Swift has made the romantic color a recurring throughout her music catalogue — and rightly so, given how she famously sang that she once believed love would be "burning red." Tap into the musician's color inspiration with this sparkly, Taylor Swift-inspired dress and prepare to turn heads the moment you walk into the stadium.

Vivivalue Adjustable Flower Headband ($11)

Perhaps the easiest way to tap into the woodsy and fairytale-like aesthetic of Swift's "Folklore" era is with a classic flower crown.

Mac Duggal Long-Sleeve Embroidered Floral Minidress ($398)

While Swift never wore a floral dress like this designer style in any of her "Folklore" music videos or promotional art, she did sport a pretty similar style when winning the top award at the 2021 Grammys ceremony for the folksy album.

Pergozo Pink Heart Sunglasses ($35)

Everything we love about the retro, pop-infused vibes of the "1989" album comes to life in these heart sunnies. While Swift has rocked her own pair of heart-shaped sunglasses through a number of different eras (namely in the "22" music video), something about the accessory takes us back to her glorious, New York-obsessed days. Plus, with rumors swirling that "1989 (Taylor's Version)" will be the star's next re-recording, you'll be prepped and ready to tap into Taylor Swift's style from the album the moment it drops.

The sparkly crop top is wrapped in crystal glass embellishments that are eye-catching but not too overbearing.

There's something so preppy and fun about this gold, sequin-embellished zipper jacket from Amazon.

If you want to pay homage to your own adolescent days with a high school-inspired 'fit, this statement-making piece is a great buy.

Beaully Flannel Plaid Jacket ($26-$36)

If you went through the 2016 craze of flannels and oversize plaid shirts, then it's likely you already have an "Evermore" era-inspired outfit nestled within your closet. But if you're looking for a more specific style that pays homage to Swift's album cover trench coat, then we recommend scooping up this orange-hued layer from Amazon. Pair it with black boots and a classic braid, and you'll be good to go.

Funcredible Purple Light Up Cowboy Hat ($20)

Swift has been relying on lots of different purple hues to tease her long-awaited rerecorded album, "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" — and the city of Nashville even lit up different landmarks in her signature color to help celebrate the announcement of the album's summer release date. This iridescent cowboy hat will help you pay homage to Swift's "Speak Now" era, while also tapping into the funky, lavender haze-inspired vibe of her "Midnights" record. Since Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" album was filled with lots of purple gowns and sparkles, basically anything within that realm will pass the vibe check.

While the sparkly style is on the pricier side, it's a worthwhile investment if it means you'll get to look (and feel) like the pop superstar for an evening. And if you happen upon a rainstorm concert, at least you'll be able to dance in your best dress — feeling fearless (duh!).

Aminugal Embroidered Western Cowboy Boots ($27-$43)

While Swift has metaphorically (and maybe even literally) hung up her cowgirl boots in the music space, her debut and "Fearless" albums are still just as unforgettable today as they were when she first released them. Who can forget what it felt like to scream-sing "Love Story" in the car for the first time? With these white mid-calf boots, you can honor the musician's country roots and manifest that she'll sing one of her original breakup ballads, too.
