16 outfits Taylor Swift has worn this year, ranked from worst to best
Taylor Swift has been busy attending awards shows and sporting events lately. Her standout looks have been glamorous, sparkly, and true to her style.
This year, Taylor Swift has been making appearances at various events, showcasing a range of styles. From the worst to the best, here's how her outfits have stacked up:
At the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles, Swift's peplum top looked too formal, making the otherwise chic outfit feel corporate. Her September appearance at a Chiefs game, with a denim tank top and jeans, was simple but forgettable. Likewise, her checkered dress from the previous day was sweet but resembled a picnic tablecloth.
However, her Arrowhead Stadium appearance in September was comfortable and cute, featuring a Chiefs tank top and jeans. The same could be said for her patterned dress from Guest in Residence, which was festive but had an off-putting texture.
In October, Swift looked stylish in a Tamara Ralph dress with a halter neckline and sparkling skirt at the MTV Video Music Awards. For the NBA playoff game with Travis Kelce, her denim outfit was fun but not particularly memorable.
Her appearance on Saturday Night Live in October featured a brown plaid minidress, which was cute and understated. In June, Swift embraced a girl-next-door vibe in a Guest in Residence polo top, jeans, and matching accessories.
Finally, her 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards look, a green corseted minidress with sparkly details, earrings, and Jimmy Choo sandals, was solid but not her best. Overall, Swift's recent outfits have been a mix of stylish and simple, with a few standout pieces.
