Taylor Swift in a custom Fausto Puglisi romper in NYC: super-cute or nah?

Taylor Swift teams a catsuit with platform boots as she heads to her concert in Cleveland

I actually missed Taylor Swift’s regular pap strolls, which were a thing several years ago. Back during the 1989 era, Taylor lived in New York and went on near-constant strolls to showcase all of her cute outfits. Since 2016, there’s barely been any of that. But considering that no one really cares that much about Reputation-era Swifty, maybe she’s giving the people what they want: more pap strolls, more cute outfits.

Taylor stepped out in New York – outside of her apartment building – on Tuesday. Her tour is stateside, and she’s currently doing stadiums in Cleveland, Philadelphia, New Jersey, etc. So she’s using her New York pad as her home base. The reason why I know Taylor wants us to see her: she wore a custom romper which probably set her back a pretty penny. The romper is by Fausto Puglisi. She also wore a Kate Spade backpack, because f–k it, she’s going to bring backpacks back too, Snake Fam. While you can’t see it in these photos, trust that Taylor is also wearing her “J” pendant necklace, which is the signal that she wants us to know that she’s still with Joe Alwyn. She wasn’t wearing the necklace the other day, and rumors swirled that Joe and Tay had broken up. No. Trust that she’ll let us know when they break up.

As I mentioned yesterday, Tuesday was the two-year anniversary of Kim Kardashian dropping The Receipts. The Snake Fam decided to celebrate their Snake Queen by flooding Kim Kardashian’s social media with snake emojis (HOW ORIGINAL) and demanding that Kim “apologize” to Taylor. Wow, Snake Fam. Still salty, huh?

    Those boots are heinous

    • Lightpurple says:

      And every other word synonymous with ugly.

      Seriously, it is SUMMER. That romper would look really cute with a pair of flat sandals.

      • Red says:

        Her boots are to remind people that she’s still ~edgy. Hot Topic Taylor is still emo, even though she started to resort back to her old style.

      • Lightpurple says:

        They don’t say “edgy,” they say “stinky feet.”

      • jammypants says:

        Haha the trick is you can still wear socks with those kinds of boots. I usually do for my ankle boots. I just wear ankle socks.

      • Jan90067 says:

        Those boots are hideous, especially with that platform. A pair of cute flat sandals would’ve been perfect.

        She looks like she’s lost some weight on this tour, but she looks very healthy, not VS skinny like she did a few years ago. Her hair also looks less fried. Take away the backpack, and from the knees up, she looks great.

    • PodyPo says:

      Yeah, I hate them but thought maybe it’s my age. They doo seem like they’d be heavy.

      The romper is adorable and flatters her.

    • Beth says:

      Terrible. I’m not a fan of booties. Who wears heavy shoes like that during a record breaking hot summer?

    • Nancy says:

      They are rather Herman Muensterish. The romper is ridiculous unless you’re 12 or under. The neckline looks as if it’s too tight, choking her, and the crotch also seems to be riding up. She put a lot of effort to be pap’d in such a fugly outfit. Maybe she’s mad she didn’t get any noms! Look what you made me wear….Ha!!

    • Otaku Fairy... says:

      I don’t care for the boots, but I like the romper.

      • Nancy says:

        It doesn’t fit her. It looks like she can’t move her arms. Hate it, the boots and shades and I’m a sunglass person!! I love little summer outfits, cute sandals, but the fit, the pattern, everything is wrong. She never really was a fashionista. For those who like it, cool, I can’t find a positive. *take note of the little girls taking her pic, those are her fans!!*

  2. paranormalgirl says:

    I hate rompers. I mean, come on, at my age, I’m all about easy peeing access and a romper is just not conducive to that.

    • Erinn says:

      I’m under 30 and I am not a fan. I tried one on by accident one day (thought I’d grabbed a cute dress to try on) and I ALMOST liked it. But it was 100% a fluke and I look incredibly awkward in every other one I tried. And I don’t want to have to strip down just to pee.

      But I do like the pattern of her romper. I’d like it in a dress. Or just as a top.

  3. Cidy says:

    Those shoes are terrible.

    What does Kim have to apologize for? Exposing her as a liar?

    • Jan90067 says:

      Perhaps for putting out an edited tape to favor her husband? No one ever heard the unedited version. For participating in that obnoxious photo laying in bed with replicas of naked celebrities, incl. TS?

      Eh.. I’m too old to really care lol. Not a fan of TS, though some of her tunes are catchy, but DEFINITELY can’t stand the Kartrashian Klan.

  4. Loopy says:

    Haha thy were also flooding it with rats.

  5. Shelly says:

    The booties are too heavy and ugly for a light summer outfit. Stinky feet? It was in the 90’s yesterday.

  6. Slowsnow says:

    Hummmm what happened to Swifty? Did she fall and bang her head? Where is the preppiness? Does she see herself as a vampy sexy vixen now? The hair gives her away though. No self respecting vixen would rock that!

    • Loopy says:

      I think she is now going with cutesy grunge.

    • AnneC says:

      In 5 years she’ll have a residency in Vegas, singing her greatest hits. Shelf life of teen idols like her are not real long term.

  7. Jane says:

    With all the money she has, you’d think she could afford a decent stylist. Her clothing choice is so childish. I might be seriously late in the game here, but since when did this woman have a bigger chest? I always recalled she was flat chested. Did she get implants for her new boyfriend? Don’t get me started on those boots. She has to be 6 feet tall already and those heals make her 3-4 inches taller. I guess she wants to look down on as many people as she can. OK, rant over.

    • Babs says:

      I can’t remember precisely when she got them new boobs but that was way before joe. I think it was around the great Tiddlebanging, or was it the new ass? I’m losing track with all the enhancements.

      • Peggy says:

        She’s had 3 boob jobs. She had a subtle one towards the end of her Red era, then went bigger with very, very obvious round implants just before 1989 promo started. Around about a year ago she switched out those implants for a much more natural shape, but kept the size.

      • KB says:

        I don’t remember them ever being subtle. They were small but not subtle. She had such a small frame when she got them, they were “bolt-on” looking from the get go. I remember her increasing the size to ridiculous proportions after she and Calvin broke up. They look good now though, at least when they’re covered up. The extra weight suits her.

        ETA: I googled some photos and a lot of places are using pictures of her from the 2015 Billboard Awards as the before photo lol she was wearing that white jumpsuit and so clearly had them at that point. I guess they were subtle enough for a lot of people not to notice them? They looked SO fake to me in those pictures.

    • Livethelifeaquatic says:

      I’m six foot tall and enjoy wearing heels…it has nothing to do with looking down on people. Just working with what I have.

    • magnoliarose says:

      Taylor is the same height as I am and I might edge her a little. She is 5’10.

    • i says:

      Tall women can’t wear heels now? Get out with that kind of thinking. I hope she wears 6 inch platforms tomorrow. And walks past you. Repeatedly.

    • minx says:

      Please don’t start with the tall women can’t wear heels nonsense.

    • Veronica S. says:

      I mean…she can’t really help being tall. My mother’s 5’11”. She still wore heels because she enjoyed them and it was fashionable. Of everything to criticize her about, I’m not going to get on her for that one when heels are considered part of the red carpet regimen as it is.

  8. Lindy79 says:

    Christ I imagine she’s exhausting to be around. Like 2 years and she’s all “I HAVE to wear something with snakes on it to remind everyone how they picked on me! and that I’M a victim!” She’s approaching 30 ffs.

    • magnoliarose says:

      Agreed. She seems like she is arrested at 15 years old.

    • smcollins says:

      Yeah, I read last night how her fans were going crazy over that snakeskin backpack that she’s sporting here. Ugh…she really thinks she’s so clever, doesn’t she? Maturity level of a teenager indeed.

    • Shannon says:

      Huh? What’s she wearing with snakes on it?

      EDIT: Oh, okay, the backpack; I couldn’t really see it. But aren’t ‘snakes’ kind of her thing now? It’s probably just something from her own snakey collection. I’d be surprised if it was planned that way, but I could be wrong.

  9. Nancy says:

    It’s a shame, the only thing she has going for her is her body and she doesn’t know how to dress it.

  10. Tw says:

    It was 9,000 degrees and 100% humidity in NYC yesterday. Why was she wearing boots?!

    • Beth says:

      I live in hot as hell Florida, and it’s too hot for sneakers. Wearing heavy boots would be torture! Flip flops or sandals would be better than heavy booties

    • jammypants says:

      The video of f her walking from apartment to car was like 5 seconds kong. I don’t think the extent of her leaving an AC environment was more than that.

  11. Babs says:

    I don’t get why there are so many celebs looking all weather confused with their outfits. It’s HOT, dress accordingly you stinko.

  12. Liz version 700 says:

    Trying to find something nice to say… Congrats on not injuring yourself in those awful boots. I would break an arm if I tried to walk in them. Also, as mentioned above it is hot that had to be miserable.

  13. Abby says:

    I had those boots in 1999 and I don’t miss them. This outfit would be cute with flats! If you want edgy, wear some studded flats!

  14. Moxie Remon says:

    She just doesn’t have the range.

  15. Kirsten Schroeter says:

    I actually like it! I love the shoes 🙂

  16. Shambles says:

    Everything about this is bad. The romper looks tacky as hell on her because she doesn’t have the edge/quirky/funkiness to pull it off. The red lip doesn’t work with this. The hairstyle is about 10 years outdated. The boots… those boots are the physical embodiment of 2018. Trash on fire.

    And sorry, I can’t bring myself to get excited about her stupid pap stroll when our president is working for a foreign government. I’ll get dragged for bringing this up, but her complete silence IS political. Anyone who is totally silent at this point is undertaking a political action.

  17. magnoliarose says:

    Taylor always seems like a frustrated wannabe supermodel. Like in her mind she thinks if I weren’t writing mediocre pop songs I would be this generation’s Claudia Schiffer.
    She is an attractive woman but her immaturity, ego, self-victimization and her try too hard are over the top.
    Her schtick is dated and boring at this point.

    The outfit and pap stroll should embarrass her but it won’t.

  18. Lolo86lf says:

    Tay Tay looks nice in that outfit, it fits her like a dream, she’s got legs for days. A pair of of strappy sandals would have complimented the outfit better, it is summer. She lost weight too. She could have been a model.

    • kate says:

      She could not have been a model. She can’t stand straight.

    • magnoliarose says:

      No, she could not have. She is too stiff and walks like a mack truck. No. Sure she could have been a model in a second-tier commercial market selling yogurt but she is too posey and self aware to pull it off. When she tries it is all kinds of cringe C actress.
      I would take the Hadids or Cara D over her any day of the week, 2015 Cara or 2016 Gigi in particular.
      Lady Breitbart has her own positives but that isn’t one of them.

  19. kate says:

    Her style is on par with her vocal abilities.

  20. Barrett says:

    I saw staged Papp photos of her on the beach, in addition to the large boobs, she looks like she can’t 10-15 pounds. It looked great, maybe less calories burned to when not on tour. Plus her mom is cute but a bigger women. So is Christina Aguilera’s mom , probably genetics playing in as they get older. But sigh they have the luck of trainers and chefs.

    Do celebs get rewarded for wearing fall shoes in advance? I’m never hot and this week was super humid and sweaty, so NYC people would tell her she was nuts if she was a regular non celebrity!

  21. Eh, I think she looks great. Yes, the boots are heavy and hot looking, but like no one has ever sacrificed comfort for fashion. She appears to have gained some weight and kept it, looks toned and her tour is pretty darn good.
    I have no real opinion on ‘receipts’ because I think all the 5year olds came out of that looking bad.
    I find it interesting that some of her better (more adult) songs lately have been given to other artists. Little Big Town and Sugarland have both recorded TS songs that aren’t middle school angst and done well on the charts.

    • Lolo86lf says:

      No, she has lost weight recently, if you look at some pictures taken 2 months ago you will see her legs and hips looking fuller. Now her legs look smaller.

  22. Veronica S. says:

    I think it would look cuter as a dress, but as far as rompers go, this isn’t god awful. I’ve never understood boots in the summer, though. I can’t stand having sweaty feet. A flat might have worked better.

  23. Aerohead21 says:

    Someone’s trying to compete with Lady Gaga on a smaller scale. However, I do like the jumper, just the boots are too … 90s chunky.

  24. Leigh-Klein says:

    Do rompers look good on any adult women? Not in my opinion, no. Paired with that choice of footwear the whole outfit is scary hideous.

  25. Shannon says:

    I think the romper is cute but I hate it with those boots. A cute pair of flats or sandals would be so much better.

  26. magnoliarose says:

    I used to wear casual rompers a few years ago but I wouldn’t wear as a real outfit again. They were easy with child wrangling but now I save them for poolside or the beach. I had a maternity one but when I look at the few photos of me wearing it, I laugh at how stupid I looked. Like Humpty Dumpty’s sister.
    They look cute on teenagers, college students, and little girls. I don’t like them for someone pushing 30. I am all for youthful dressing and flouting rules but as I mature I prefer to see women dress with authority.

  27. minx says:

    I usually do NOT like rompers on adult women but oddly I don’t mind this one so much on her. SMH. I do like the pattern. The boots are ridiculous.

  28. KidV says:

    I like the outfit. I had those shoes in the 90’s.

  29. jammypants says:

    If the rat emoji was used, I highly doubt she’d jump at “reclaiming” that. It doesn’t help that she has a pinched face.

  30. Adora says:

    Can’t say I’m a fan but don’t wanna bring and negativity so I will say I think she’s looking great as of late. Figure is great, strong and healthy. Backpacks have been back for a good while now…in Ireland and UK anyway.

  31. Eileen says:

    I didn’t notice the clothing or boots just the derpy open mouth expression she looks like she’s over medicated

  32. Littlefishmom says:

    I loathe rompers but I do like that this one is more structured and not loose and flowy like she’s wearing a diaper. But no no no to those shoes.

  33. Potemkin says:

    I think the outfit is cute (in spite of the caterpillar boots) and I like to see her dressed with a modern fresh young touch and not like a perfect
    Hollywood American housewife in her forties with an invisible apple pie in her hands.
