Taylor Swift
47th Annual American Music Awards, Arrivals, Microsoft Theater, Los Angeles, USA - 24 Nov 2019
I will say that, as "Artist of the Decade" goes, Taylor Swift is a good pick. She sang a very small handful of her hits and could have done several more. I would have traded "I Knew You Were Trouble" for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," and I would maybe have smirkingly put that one after "Lover," but hey, not my call. This is perfectly fine -- good color, and the shorts aspect does feel very Mid-Range Music-Related Awards Show -- and it looked much better on the telecast than it does in this photo. But I don't know about the boots with it.

Donatella, what did Selena do to upset you? This would be average at best if it fit, but it's ghastly because it doesn't.

This is much better, but also a little pinchy on the boobs. I assume these women met in the bathroom and traded numbing ointments.

That dress is beautiful, and that hair and makeup looks like a CW show about Anne Boleyn.

Ester is a singer/songwriter (she wrote "Firework" for Katy Perry, among many others), and she looks DIVINE in this dress.

I think this would work better if the minidress wasn't bunching up on her.

Misty performed a pas de deux during "Lover," and it was awesome. I thought that was a dreamy staging of that song -- it was super romantic and full of yearning. I cannot rightly say I like this outfit, but I do think she looks fantastic in it. Both things can be true. It's also the edgiest thing I've seen her wear.

Oh, Heidi. This looks like a Muppet-thmed line of Lingerie. (This one is probably the Super Grover.)

She is really hooked into Dior, and she should not be.

I don't like this at all. It feels like a watered-down version of someone else's aesthetic.

I get why the netting is there; I just wish I couldn't see it so easily. (It was very apparent on TV as well.) The rest is good. She looks foxy.

I wish this had a full cape. Otherwise, great color, and if I had those quads, HOT DAMN, I too would wear this slit.

She is the host of the upcoming Flirty Dancing, based on an existing UK show on which people separately learn a dance and then meet for the first time while performing it together. It looks transcendently dumb. She however does not. This is a very nice simple dress.

This has netting too, right? I guess if I have to ask, it's doing a decent job.

Her dress might be a little big on her? I like Dan's coat.

I just wrote a thing about how I am Face Blind to blond Dua Lipa, and I STILL didn't realize this was her at first. The dress is... fine... but nothing that hasn't been done better before.

Of course Sofia Carson is there. She's EVERYWHERE. I stand by my assertion that she will be the this year's 2:30 arrival to the Golden Globes. And you know what? DO IT, because she's never boring.

This is also not boring, but it IS hideous. Shapeless, twee, laced like an ice skate... just a real regrettabl misstep.
