So, you finally got your hands on Taylor Swift concert tickets, which is no easy feat. We'd argue that the only thing more exciting than seeing the multihyphenate star perform live is figuring out what you're going to wear for the occasion. Who better to draw fashion inspiration from than Swift herself? Her onstage wardrobe is glamorous, eye-catching, and full of hidden messageing — all design flourishes that make for a memorable 'fit pic.

Swift kicked off her long-awaited Eras Tour in Glendale, AZ, on March 17. Beyond performing her expansive music catalogue, she also provided plenty of fashion moments that pay homage to the aesthetics she's embraced throughout her career — including a custom-made, bejeweled Versace bodysuit that quite literally made the whole place shimmer.

If you're planning on attending one of her upcoming shows and want to take a page out of the performer's tour look book, we've curated a guide for exactly what to wear to a Taylor Swift concert, with styles that draw inspiration from each of her eras. From shaggy lavender looks and snake-adorned ensembles, to glitzy cowgirl boots that'll have you scream-singing "Tim McGraw," these concert outfits will make you look like a true Swiftie. Ahead, shop our favourite concert outfit ideas with styles from brands like Nasty Gal, Amazon, Net-a-Porter, Reformation, and more.

If you're looking for a style that can channel several of Swift's eras, you can't go wrong with this Nasty Gal Fluorescent Tiered Fringed Jacket ($129, originally $322). The fringed jacket draped in purple and pink crystal embellishments pays homage to the lavender-infused looks of her "Midnights" album.

This Dynamite Asher Blazer Romper ($90) might not be as statement-making as Swift's shaggy purple coat, but it will definitely have you feeling like you're caught up in a lavender haze — thanks to the piece's light purple colouring and sexy, fitted design.

We love this Snake Ring ($4) because it will double as the most perfect addition to any "Reputation"-inspired outfits, and also serve as a great everyday ring once the concert is over. The silver jewellery piece has a unique design that resembles the look of a snake seamlessly wrapping around your finger.

You'll make headlines and a stylish statement by incorporating this nostalgic Windsor Headliner Newspaper Print Denim Skirt ($33) into your Eras Tour outfit.

When we think back to Swift's "Lover" era, our minds are immediately reminded of the unforgettable "You Need to Calm Down" music video — you know, the one that featured rainbow colour palettes, butterflies, kiddie pools, and sequins galore. This Striped Sequin Short Romper ($28, originally $37) takes a page straight out of Swift's colourful lookbook with its playful neckline, flirty silhouette, and pastel colouring.

You'll likely be standing on your feet for the entirety of the Eras Tour show (it is a Taylor Swift concert, after all), so naturally, you'll want a comfortable pair of sneakers. These Comme des Garçons Play x Converse Unisex Chuck Taylor Sneakers ($150) are a favourite of POPSUGAR editors, and even feature a darling heart detailing that feels so on brand with the "Lover" album.

The perfect spring bag exists, and it comes in the form of this ForBitches Purple Butterfly Bag ($225). The accessory blends the vibes of multiple eras into one with its lavender colouring and delicate, butterfly-inspired silhouette.

We know all too well that Swift's "Red" era is a special one for fans of the superstar musician. In the album cover art for "Red (Taylor's Version)," she famously donned a red beret cap that looked curiously similar to this Vintage Newsboy Cabbie Peaked Beret Cap ($14).

Take your concert outfit to new heights with these Odema Leather Oxfords ($36). At one point, Swift's personal style seemed to revolve around a shoe quite similar to these, and she was often spotted trotting through the streets of New York and London with the heeled Oxfords in tow.

While Swift never wore a floral dress like this Mac Duggal Long-Sleeve Embroidered Floral Minidress ($449, originally $598) 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. This embroidered piece doubles as the perfect dupe for the Oscar de la Renta minidress and will have you looking like a true folklorian goddess.

Perhaps the easiest way to tap into the woodsy and fairytale-like aesthetic of Swift's "Folklore" era is with a classic flower crown. This Vivivalue Adjustable Flower Headband ($10) will elevate even the most muted outfit with an ethereal flair.

If you'd rather opt for a simple and more comfortable concert outfit, we recommend shopping out something like this SNDYS Audrina Top ($64). The sparkly crop top is wrapped in crystal glass embellishments that are shimmery but not too overbearing. The silver colouring is reminiscent of the glitzy pieces Swift wore throughout her "1989" era, and the tank top would look so cute paired with high-waisted jeans and classic white sneakers.

Everything we love about the retro, pop-infused vibes of the "1989" album comes to life in these Pergozo Pink Heart Sunglasses ($28). 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.

If you went through the 2016 craze of flannels and oversize plaid shirts, then it's likely you already have an "Evermore"-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 the Beaully Flannel Plaid Jacket ($35, originally $44).

Frankly, this M.A.C. Retro Matte Lipstick ($22) isn't era-specific, considering Swift is a notable fan of red lipstick. But the product is a favourite of the superstar's, and she even detailed her love for this particular shade in a 2015 interview with People.

Styles Inspired By Taylor Swift's "Fearless" Era Outfits

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 Aminugal Embroidered Western Cowboy Boots ($43, originally $54), you can honour the musician's country roots and manifest that she'll sing one of her original breakup ballads, too.
