Taylor Swift

Our photo service has her captioned as "Model XX" in this photo. I guess it's true: a top hat really IS a good disguise! Additionally, those shoes are amazing. "Why didn't I have those during the Olympics?" Kate Middleton is now asking herself, twirling her hair and sobbing.

I like to think that she's singing, "I am never, never, ever/ going to wear those feathers." I'm sure her every performance will involve hit songs re-written to comment on the runway action, right? When do they air this thing again, so I can be crushed by disappointment when she doesn't sing something called "You Belong With B (Cups)" or "Rearless"? That last one's about thongs, obviously.

There is something delightful about Ol' T Swift -- who, for all the crinkled brows and "maybe try to be single for a little while" (which, actually, I think she IS) that we give her, I sincerely do enjoy -- wailing away back there, in an ultimately unsuccessful plea not to be overshadowed by a woman wearing a cape consisting solely of a fur hood and cuff over her bridal nethergarments.

Doutzen Kroes, Taylor Swift

I do love that they put her in the less-aggressive version of Doutzen's shoes though. And, now that we can talk about what Taylor is wearing: it is VERY CUTE. It's totally her -- short and shiny -- but it's also exactly right for what she's doing.

Some perv is writing fanfic about this photo right now. Which is not to say that all fanfic is pervy -- although some of the best fanfic probably IS pervy because fanfic is made for people to get their perv on more often than not -- but simply that you KNOW someone RIGHT NOW is working on something where these two start making out. And then, after a series of overly specific acts, Taylor remakes "How Do You Talk to an Angel?" and we all suffer.

Karlie Kloss, Taylor Swift

"Hey, Karlie!"

"Great job, Taylor! Hey, are you the Keymaster?"

"Nope! Are you Gozer?"

"Yeah!"

"They're waiting for you on the roof!"

In addition to shiny mini-dresses, there was also haireography, as the Lord decreed.

Pink Carpet Arrivals

And this -- which she wore to walk the pink carpet before, presumably, RACING backstage to change -- is ALSO short and sparkly and cute. Keep it up, Swifty.

Well Played: Taylor Swift at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (with an assist from various models)

First and foremost: The marriage of Taylor Swift and Victoria's Secret feels so natural, now that I think about it. Sure, they sell underwear and she's Taylor Swift, who never, THANK YOU JESUS, has been known for flashing us hers. But Taylor Swift's fans are TOTALLY shopping at Victoria's Secret. They are wearing cute Pink brand undies right NOW. That's not a diss -- I own plenty of Victoria's Secret knickers myself -- but it is a fact. The VS/TS demographic overlap must be huge. So it's good news that she looked totally cute headlining their fashion show last night. PS: As I will note in the post about the show itself (up next), as you might imagine, there are some women in bizarre underwear configurations inside this here slideshow, so if you're at work....call everyone over to your desk? I don't know your office. [Photos: Getty]
