Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid enjoyed a fashionable night out at Waverly Inn in New York City on Tuesday, catching up over dinner without their notable partners, Travis Kelce and Bradley Cooper.
Swift’s stylish black outfit has triggered numerous speculations among fans, many interpreting it as a significant statement.
The Daily Mail reports that the pop icon, aged 34, was seen in an $845 black bubble-skirt dress by Simkhai, complemented by $855 Gucci slingback heels.
To enhance her look, she carried a silver Doen handbag and wore sparkly diamond earrings, adding an elegant flair despite the dark palette. On the other hand, Hadid chose a maroon maxi skirt paired with a coordinating leather jacket and a black bag.
Interpreting the ‘Funeral Dress’
Following a post from a fan account, Taylor Swift Styled, detailing her little black dress (LBD), fans quickly began making connections about her fashion choice.
Some fans described the outfit as “funeral attire,” suggesting it might represent the end of her record-setting Eras Tour, which is set to conclude this weekend in Vancouver after nearly two years and over 150 performances.
“This really gives funeral… like ‘in the death of her reputation she felt truly alive,’” remarked one fan, citing a poem from Swift written in 2017.
Another fan noted, “She’s definitely mourning the closure of the Eras Tour.”
Additionally, some theorized that Swift could be signaling the beginning of a new musical chapter. Fans are often attentive to the layered meanings in Swift’s wardrobe choices and public appearances.
In addition to the little black dress, Swift’s recent preference for orange tones in her outfits and lip color has fans buzzing about a potential new album.
Some hypothesize that this vibrant hue refers to her connection with Kelce, merging the red, gold, and white colors of his Kansas City Chiefs team.
Others cite lyrics from her song “Daylight,” where she sings, “I once believed love would be black and white, but it’s golden,” contemplating that the orange might symbolize a celebration of love and joy.
