Style shrinks: Our experts analyse Taylor Swift's questionable 'boyfriend' decision
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE HAT
Rebecca Gonsalves: Is she doffing her hat to a hybrid of those inimitable screen style icons Willy Wonka and Heisenberg with this titfer?
Hugh Montgomery: Taylor Swift, pork pie hat: these words don't hang together. A picnic egg hat would be more appropriate, somehow.
THE 'DRESS'
Rebecca: A boyfriend shirt as a dress is a rather risqué choice, mainly because it raises all manner of questions about her love life. Again.
Hugh: Just to stick our oar in, though, we have heard that, in fact, she isn't going out with the shirt. Her relationship with the shirt is a mere charade organised by their respective PR teams.
THE SHOES
Rebecca: If anyone knows that life is a cabaret, it's T-Swift and it looks like she's got a soft shoe shuffle planned for her grand finale.
Hugh: Yes, very keep-me-in-mind-for-Chicago, the sensible contingency plan for any modern pop queen.
THE BAG
Rebecca: Christian Louboutin don't just indulge feet, y'know. They make capacious handbags too, perfect for toting around your millions as you laugh your way to the bank.
Hugh: But a big bag when you can have three scurrying PAs in the receptacle role? Total second-division stuff.
