Swifties, get over the Eras Tour hump with this free trail at the V&A

The Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington is launching a free Taylor Swift trail celebrating the star's looks through the eras.

The "Taylor Swift Songbook Trail" at the V&A features 16 looks worn by the superstar artist throughout her career. Celebrating Swift's UK tour success, the stops on the trail showcase different eras of her music career and highlight the creativity of her costumes, lyrics, and music videos. Visitors will be able to see iconic outfits like the customised cowboy boots from her 2007 country debut and the black ruffled dress from her 2024 music video "Fortnight". Alongside these costumes, visitors will find instruments, music awards, storyboards, and unseen archival materials that delve into her childhood and recording history. 

Running from 27 July to 8 September 2024, the free exhibition conveniently launches in the summer lull between the two London legs of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. Find out more on the V&A website here.
