Taylor Swift can still make the whole place shimmer... in stunning green.

The "Eras Tour" movie star and producer strutted the red carpet for her fifth Golden Globes in Los Angeles. Her shiny green silhouette shimmered elegance and sophistication about ten minutes before the live show on CBS. The custom Gucci dress has three straps across the back. Her hair cascaded down in simple waves.

Host and comedian Jo Koy made a joke about the singer saying the difference between the NFL and Golden Globes, "The Golden Globes we have fewer cutaway shots of Taylor Swift."

Swift's blockbuster is one of eight nominees ushering in a brand-new category, "cinematic and box office achievement," which honors movies that have made $150 million globally with $100 million being domestic sales. The movie brought concertgoers to theaters to dance and sing their hearts out to Swift's ten eras.

The singer is credited as a producer for the movie, directed by Sam Wrench and she's up against some heavy hitters including "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer."

Swift's last red-carpet appearance was the London premiere of "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé" where she supported her friend and fellow queen wearing a mirrorball dress that stunned.

Swift has four previous Golden Globes nominations, all 'Best Original Song'

In 2013, at the age of 23, Swift received a nomination for "Best Original Song" for the Hunger Games. "Safe & Sound" featured "The Civil Wars." John Paul White, Joy Williams and T. Bone Burnett were included in the entry.

In 2014, her song "Sweeter Than Fiction," recently rereleased as a bonus song to "1989 (Taylor's Version)," garnered the "Best Original Song" nod from the movie "One Chance." Jack Antonoff was also on the entry.

In 2019, Swift attended the Globes with no nominations. She presented "Best Original Score" with her Cats co-star Idris Elba. "And the Golden Globe goes to..." Swift paused to open the envelope, "'Shallow,' 'A Star is Born,' Lady Gaga."

In 2020, Swift's song "Beautiful Ghosts" scored a nom for "Best Original Score." The song from the musical, onscreen adaptation of "Cats" didn't win.

In 2023, "Carolina" from "Where the Crawdads Sing" earned her a fourth nomination for "Best Original Song."

Entering her cinematic era

In addition to the list of acting credits, she signed a deal with Searchlight Pictures to direct a feature film that she wrote, the company announced in late 2022.

She won an MTV award for her 14-minute production of “All Too Well: The Short Film,” which she wrote and directed. The short film was screened at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival.

The Globes mark the beginning of red carpet season. Swift is expected to attend the 66th annual Grammys on Feb. 4 before beginning the next leg of her Eras Tour in Tokyo on Feb. 7.
