The Reputation Stadium Tour broke all records for its innovative use of technology such as giant screens and pyrotechnics, creating an electric atmosphere that left an enduring mark, while The Eras Tour even became a 2-hour-and-45-minute film.

Taylor SwifT iS noT juST a celebriTy of The muSic buSineSS, buT alSo an icon of faShion and STyle, wiTh The power To dicTaTe The TrendS of every SeaSon
Hailed as an icon of American fashion by ‘Vogue’ as early as 2011, in 2014 she was named by ‘People’ as the best-dressed celebrity and Woman of the Year at the Elle Style Awards. Those who remember her from the start of her career can’t help but recall a little girl with cowboy boots, floral-patterned dresses, and natural, curly hair; but with the evolution of her music and the transition to pop, her style has become more glamorous and refined. Taylor has thus passed from a country image to a decidedly more sophisticated and versatile one, reflecting the different phases of her life, but always managing to be easily recognizable, with looks that can connect to everyone, just like her lyrics.
w haT doe S i T mean To be T aylor S wif T in everyday life ?
In an interview a few years ago, the American pop star admitted that her life was rather strange and decidedly different from that of “normal” people: constantly in the spotlight, under pressure from the media, perpetually chased by fans, judged in every statement and appearance in public. Yet all this does not seem to bother or upset her too much as she candidly admits that she is able to live with this successful life and, indeed, that she has learned, not without difficulty, to enjoy what she has laboriously achieved.
