Ah, the summer of 2014\. Taylor Swift spent those months being photographed leaving her apartment, and/or the gym, looking adorable and carefree and VERY leggy in a parade of booties and huge heels and vintage-inspired shoes. I still think about [this Oscar de la Renta dress](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/recent-fugs-and-fabs-of-taylor-swift-06-2014/). And [this cute preppy sweater](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/recent-fugs-and-fabs-of-taylor-swift/taylor-swift-wears-a-white-sweater-blue-mini-skirt?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)! This [great argument for a skin-tone shoe](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/recent-fugs-and-fabs-of-taylor-swift/taylor-swift-shows-off-her-midriff-and-legs-in-a-peach-colored-skirt-while-leaving-her-apartment-in-tribeca?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)! This [shirt-dress looking so good with her Rag & Bone booties](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/recent-fugs-and-fabs-of-taylor-swift-2/taylor-swift-stops-by-a-gym-in-nyc-2?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (or knockoffs, but she was in [a Rag & Bone phase](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/casual-fuggerday-the-recent-fugs-and-fabs-of-taylor-swift-in-the-wild/taylor-swift-and-lily-aldridge-go-out-for-lunch?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) for sure). And [THIS](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-taylor-swift-2-08-2014/)! Plus [this argument for being cast in season two of *A League of Their Own*](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/casual-fuggerday-the-latest-in-taylor-swift/taylor-swift-leaving-the-gym-in-new-york-city?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), when we manifest it being rescued by some other streaming service!

Anyway, she released *1989* in October but dropped the lead single "Shake It Off" in August, and then rolled up to the VMAs in the leggiest outfit of them all: this Mary Katrantzou leotard. Although, it might not strictly speaking BE a leotard? It might exist in a nether space between leotard and romper, or a onesie, or somesuch. The outfit at the time felt very much like Taylor shaking *something* off -- not merely pants -- and stomping into a new and slightly fiercer, sexier... well, era, for lack of a better word, and *1989* did later give us "Bad Blood" and "Blank Space" and fully transition her into pop from country (2012's *Red* built the bridge). Do the boots go with it? No. Is it a great garment? No. I stand by my original assessment that the clothes look like the lining of a *Da Vinci Code*\-themed handbag, and that the crotch manages to be both slightly flappy AND to be threatening a wedgie. But I love her hair. I love her booties. And she's serving the whole dish with elan, in that way that I think a lot of wish we'd done when we were young enough to throw caution to the wind and just GO FOR IT. Gentle crotch sag be damned.
