Taylor Swift threw Easter eggs into her outfits ahead of the release of “1989” (Taylor’s version).
The 33-year-old singer hinted at releasing her own version of her fifth studio album, as she’s been reviving elements of her style from that particular era in recent weeks.
She has been spotted a lot lately, particularly enjoying romantic evenings with her new boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, during her break from her ongoing Eras Tour.
During these outings, she dropped subtle Easter eggs and brought back her affinity for knee-high boots, vintage leather handbags and the color blue.
On the eve of the new release, she was spotted wearing a pair of brown knee-high leather boots that she hadn’t worn since 2015

Most notably, she wore a lot of blue costumes at her concert stop in Los Angeles on August 9 to reference the 1989 announcement that would be announced later that same evening.
On this particular night, she wore a stunning pastel blue Alberta Ferretti dress with cascading sleeves.
At one point, she also wore a sky blue sparkly crop top and miniskirt by Roberto Cavalli.
Swift also debuted an elaborate and enchanting halterneck gown from Nicole + Felicia Couture during the evening.
Even during the opening night of her tour film about two weeks earlier, she wore a baby blue Oscar de la Renta dress and eyeshadow and her signature bold red lip.
She also had her hair pinned up and pinned up – which at first glance led many fans to believe she had chopped off her blonde locks.

During her 1989 era, she often paired the boots with colorful outfits.
This time she opted for a simple black cardigan and a gray pleated mini skirt, but once again showed off her classic red lips.
Back in May 2019, during her Lover era, Swift revealed to Entertainment Weekly that leaving clues in her outfits was “one of her favorite ways” to leave Easter eggs for her loyal fans.
“Easter eggs can be left on clothing or jewelry,” the 12-time Grammy winner told the outlet.

“It’s one of my favorite methods,” she explained. “Because you’re wearing something that suggests something else, and people don’t usually notice that right away.”
“But they know you’re probably sending a message,” she added, looking sharply at her Swifties. “You’ll find out in time.”
As to why she started giving out Easter eggs for her fans and has been doing it for so long, she explained how “fun” and “playful” it is for her and her Swifties.
“I think it’s great that they like the cryptic hints. Because as long as they like it, I’ll keep doing it,” she said. ‘It’s fun. It feels mischievous and playful.’
