Taylor Swift spends every weekend in customized crystal bodysuits and gowns performing her three-hour Eras Tour set in cities across the country—sometimes even in torrential downpours. It’s no wonder she opts for a simpler look throughout the week. In between shows, Taylor Swift has been spending time in New York City, specifically in the West Village at Electric Lady Studios. Is she recording an album? Attending a party? Boy would I like to know! While I’m not sure exactly what Ms. Swift is up to, I do know exactly where she got her adorable summer outfits.
Taylor headed into Electric Lady Studios (yet again) on June 26. This time around, she opted for a preppier look. Her ‘fit included The Row’s Sisica Shirt, which has sold out nearly everywhere except for SSENSE and FRWD. She paired the top with Free People’s Heartbreaker Skort in Citadel, which is already selling like hotcakes. To complete her preppy yet laidback OOTD, Taylor accessorized with Malone Souliers chunky loafers, a Phoebe Bridgers x Catbird necklace, lettuce-hem socks, and a navy baseball cap.
On May 24, Taylor entered Electic Lady Studios solo and left with a star-studded group of ladies including Zoë Kravitz, Phoebe Bridgers and Margaret Qualley. Swift took advantage of the warm New York City weather in an all-white look. She wore a Ralph Lauren eyelet crop tank top with a matching maxi skirt.
She accessorized with a Mansur Gavriel leather box bag and strappy sandals. Swift had her long hair tied back in a ponytail and wore her signature red lipstick which immediately reminded fans of the Red era. This look is so easy to replicate and works for the city or the beach. Since it’s a two-piece set, you can also mix and match the top and skirt with other pieces in your wardrobe.
This is the exact Ralph Lauren top Taylor Swift wore to the recording studio.

The beautiful Polo Ralph Lauren look wasn’t the only summer uniform option Taylor Swift provided as inspiration this week. The singer spent May 22 at Electric Lady Studios and gave fans a glimpse of her personal style on her way in and out. Swift was spotted wearing a crisp white button-down, denim shorts and strappy sandals with a brown leather shoulder bag.
You might already have something like this outfit in your closet. The look is polished and minimalistic while still being a little bit preppy (anyone else still reminiscing over Swift’s 1989-era wardrobe?).
Fans on Twitter and TikTok were quick to point out that the outfit looked very similar to a look she wore in the Miss Americana documentary on Netflix in a scene where she discusses boundaries with fans. In the scene, Swift walks from the front door of her apartment building to the car and is immediately greeted by a block full of screaming fans.
“Well. So this is my front yard. And I’m highly aware of the fact that that is not normal,” Swift says to the camera.
Swift was met with a similar scene yesterday at Electric Lady Studios with dozens of fans that waited hours outside to get a glimpse of the star for just a second. The parallel between the outfit Swift wore yesterday to the one in the documentary may suggest that she’s looking for fans to give her some space.
