50th Annual Grammy Awards arrivals, the Staples Center, Los Angeles, America - 10 Feb 2008
Taylor is the performer with the longest Grammy resume, beginning with this very precious outfit from when she was nominated as Best New Artist. (She lost to Amy Winehouse.) The skirt is actually quite pretty; it's the top that's providing the twee.

She didn't win anything for "We Are Never Getting Back Together," which is a bummer because I like to yell that song in my car. But she looked good. This is around the time she became friends with Karlie Kloss, I think? The more fashion-y vibe might reflect that (as well as just growing up and having big stylist money).

But I LOVE this one. The extra straps are a little wacky but the color is GORGEOUS and I think it's by far her most interesting pick. (This was "Shake It Off" and she didn't win this year either.)

This, though, was sincerely great. It's CRACKERS and so unique and probably impossible to move in, and I DO NOT know how she got there in it.
