It's December 13, and that means one thing: it's Taylor Swift's birthday! In 2025 the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter turned 36, and what a year it has been for the superstar. In August, while appearing on beau Travis Kelce's podcast, the global sensation revealed that her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, was to be released in October; it debuted at number one with  four million first-week units sold, the biggest debut week in modern US history. 

Then, weeks later, Taylor shared the joyous news that Travis had dropped to one knee and proposed. "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," they captioned their engagement post with a dynamite emoji at the end, a reference to their initials, T and T.

A day before her 36th birthday, Taylor also dropped a new docuseries on Disney+, celebrating the record-breaking Eras Tour which ran for 20 months across 2023 and 2024.

To celebrate the stellar year for the star, we thought it would only be right to take a look back through the style archive and take a peek at some of her most enviable looks.  From her crystal-encrusted eras tour body suits to her iconic red and pink Grammy Awards two-piece, here are the most lust-worthy T-Swizz looks from over the years.

On what would become one of Taylor's biggest nights of her life, she wore this iconic Versace ensemble.

It was the Grammy Awards and Taylor won three awards for her album 1989, including the major Album of the Year, making her the first woman to win it twice; she has since won it two more times!

The bold silhouette and distinct colors set her apart from her peers on the red carpet, and in the ceremony, and it altered our brain chemistry for all the right reasons back in 2016.

For the 2014 Met Gala, Taylor wore what remains one of her most iconic looks: an Oscar de la Renta blush pink gown adorned with a giant bow.

Unintentionally channelling the coquettecore trend before it was popular, the look remains quintessential Taylor: girly and sweet with a bold red lip and vintage curls.

For the 2025 Grammy Awards, Taylor opted for a striking red custom corset mini dress by Vivienne Westwood, teamed with her signature red lip, and the cutest detail of all - a chain wrapped around her leg with a T charm, for Travis, a reference to her lyric: 'What if he's written 'mine' on my upper thigh?'

The Eras Tour, 2024

We couldn't not include a killer Eras outfit, and we loved this yellow number she wore several times for the Folklore section. 

Custom designed by Alberta Ferretti, the gowns were often earthy, muted tones (purple, green, white, yellow, berry) but the yellow was a distinct departure, with the color, flowing chiffon, and draping helping to embody the "cottagecore" fairy-in-the-woods vibe.

Grammys, 2008

For her first-ever Grammy Awards, the then-country singer chose to don a Sandy Spika strapless purple-hued gown and paired it with a matching eye look and bouncy blonde curls.

It was the perfect introduction into what would become almost two decades of fashion eras: playful, girly, and eye-catching.

MTV Video Museum Awards, 2024

At the MTV Video Music Awards in 2024, Taylor rocked an ensemble by Christian Dior featuring one of the season's hottest prints, tartan. 

The corset top with the shorts and leather detailing perfectly matched the Tortured Poets Department era, while also being coded enough to leave fans convinced she would be dropping Reputation (Taylor's Version). 

Spoiler, she never did.

Possibly one of our favorite on-stage looks ever, Taylor looked incredible in a black lace catsuit, designed by UK-based designer Sarah Regensburger, for the 2021 Annual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony, during which she performed Carole King's "Will You Still Love Me", and gave a heartwarming speech.

Grammys, 2024

For the 2024 Grammy Awards Taylor chose a Schiaparelli white strapless gown with a high thigh slit and paired it with long black gloves.

The black-and-white fit, again, was perfectly coordinated to leave fans convinced she would be confirming the release of Reputation (TV) but in a huge surprise, she instead announced her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poet's Department, and fans realized that the outfit was actually a nod to the new era, with a focus on corsetry, draping and gothic literature.

Golden Globe Awards, 2020

For the 2020 Golden Globe Awards the singer made an entrance in an Etro floor-length sunflower-printed gown with a chic torso cut out.

It marked a big change for the singer, who has often focused her prints on tartan and embellishments over dramatic florals, while her silhouettes have often remained clean and form-fitting, rather than A-line.

Each and every look from the Era's Tour is incredible but her Versace pink crystal-encrusted bodysuit and matching boots look was particularly stunning.
