Taylor Swift unveiled brand new „Fearless” and „Tortured Poets” outfits, sending fans spinning and clowning around for a possible announcement that never came.
The new outfits debuted in Milan, Italy, where the singer-songwriter hasn’t performed in 13 years. The „Fearless” outfit mirrors the sparkle, shine and edge of her other Second Eras outfits, except it’s designed in gold and black stripes.
„I was looking at the list of cities we could tour and I thought, 'I can’t wait to party with those Italians,'” Swift said atop her show in Italy’s fashion capital.
During the set of „The Tortured Poets Department”, Swift appeared in a white gown reminiscent of the „I Love You, It’s Training My Life” gown she wore at 31 European shows. In Milan, her gown read, „Who’s afraid of little old me? You should be.”
’Terrible summer’ beats heat in Italy
The brutal summer heat continued in Milan. The Italian city took a page from the heat preparedness playbook of Zurich — where Swift played before arriving in Italy — putting similar heat safety precautions in place to protect fans.
Before the gates of the San Siro stadium opened, workers handed out reflective cards to fans who had camped out for hours. According to Accuweather, temperatures in the Italian city are 85 degrees, and there is a „risk of dehydration and heat stroke during strenuous activity.”
Swift is on a mission to make sure fans are safe, calling out for help when she sees Swifties in distress. Both nights in Zurich, she asked for help in between songs.
Misters on the ground in Italy doused the Swifties with water drops and free water was given out until 6pm after which fans could buy water for €3.

F1 drivers in the VIP tent
The two F1 drivers retired from racing to watch the three-plus hour show before heading to the Hungarian Grand Prix next week.
Fans spotted Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Alpine Racing’s Pierre Gasly in the „Red Lounge” or VIP tent on the floor. Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is a Alpine Racing Investor with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Kelce attended the F1 Miami Grand Prix event in May before heading to Swift’s 87th Paris show, where he dedicated his acoustic guitar mashup to her.
The singer performs one more show in Milan on Sunday before heading to Gelsenkirchen, Germany for three nights.
