Since March, the music icon has been photographed at awards shows, walking around New York City, and sitting in suites at Arrowhead Stadium — in support of her husband, Travis Kelce, of course.
Naturally, she's worn statement outfits for each occasion. Designer jackets, expensive jewelry, and luxury handbags remain her signatures.
Some of her recent looks are the epitome of her effortless street style, while others haven't made much sense. Here's how we'd rank what she's worn this year, from worst to best.
Taylor Swift brought back peplum tops in May, but she probably shouldn't have.

She was photographed in New York City wearing a $1,190 white button-up blouse from Stella McCartney, $1,350 The Row trousers, sandals from the same brand, and a black leather belt.
The bottom half of the outfit was chic, but her top looked too formal, making the outfit feel corporate.
The outfit she wore to a Chiefs game in September wasn't memorable.

Swift was spotted on September 20 standing in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium with her mom and mother-in-law.
She kept her outfit simple that day: denim bottoms, a black leather belt, and a $40 Chiefs tank top from Wear by Erin Andrews.
There was nothing really wrong with the outfit; the musician looked cute and comfortable. Still, it was so simple that most fans probably won't remember it next season.
The same could be said for the checkered dress she wore a few days earlier.

At another Chiefs game, Swift wore a $295 checkered dress from Guest in Residence.
It was a sweet, festive choice for the occasion, especially when paired with her signature red lipstick.
At the same time, though, the pattern made the dress resemble a picnic tablecloth, which wasn't ideal.
One tweak could have saved Swift's 2026 MTV Video Music Awards look.

She arrived on the blue carpet wearing a couture gown from Tamara Ralph. It had a halter neckline, a black velvet bodice with a mesh back, and a sparkling silver skirt that wrapped around her hips and reached the floor.
From the front, Swift looked powerful and stylish.
Unfortunately, the thick, lace-up feature on the back of the dress made it look less elegant.
She chose elevated basics for an NBA playoff game, though they weren't super memorable.

Swift and Kelce were sitting courtside when the Knicks played the Cavaliers in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.
Both wore denim outfits for the game, though Swift's look was undoubtedly flashier. She paired $790 Stella McCartney jeans with a black denim jacket and a chain-embellished tank top from the designer.
Swift also sported a Dior purse, Stella McCartney sandals, and an assortment of gold jewelry — including her massive engagement ring.
The outfit was fun, but also simple and a little forgettable.
Swift was ready for fall when she made a surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live" in October.

She took the stage alongside her friend, Dakota Johnson, wearing a $595 Simkhai brown plaid minidress. Swift also wore a $1,500 Yves Saint Laurent chain belt, a gold Cartier bracelet, Burberry boots, and hoop earrings.
The outfit didn't make for her flashiest fashion moment, but it was cute and understated.
She embraced her girl-next-door vibe for a New York City outing in June.

Photographers captured Swift wearing a $295 Guest in Residence polo top, light-wash denim jeans, Gucci sandals, a matching leather belt, and an assortment of gold jewelry.
She also carried the large Chloé Penelope bag.
It was one of Swift's most cohesive looks so far this year.

Wiederhoeft designed the ensemble, which was sleeveless and decorated with silver sparkles.
Swift wore it with $36,000 Dena Kemp earrings and Jimmy Choo sandals. The assortment of rings and bracelets she wore also retailed for $36,000.
Swift looked pretty, and her outfit was solid. It wasn't her best look of the year, but it was far from her worst.
Swift's street style reemerged in April, and it was strong from the start.

On one New York City outing, Swift paired a blue-and-white striped Staud dress with $1,195 Christian Louboutin sandals and a yellow mini Lady Dior bag.
The outfit was fun and perfect for summer. The mix of diamond and opal jewelry she wore with it only added to the look.
Her date-night style this year has been feminine and flowing.

Just look at the floral Doen dress she wore for a night out with Kelce in May. The off-the-shoulder design had puffed sleeves, a semi-sheer skirt, and a ruffled neckline.
The dress was cute on its own, but it looked even better with Swift's choice of accessories: $920 Aquazzura sandals, gold jewelry, and a small raffia bag.
Swift proved that you can't go wrong with a classic black-and-white outfit.

On a different night in New York City, Swift was photographed wearing a white Retrofête minidress. The simple garment had a high neckline, long sleeves, and a short pleated skirt.
On its own, the dress might not have stood out on Swift. However, she accessorized to perfection.
She contrasted the garment with a slouchy black Dior purse, Gucci slingback heels, and a ponytail.
Even as a wedding guest, Swift sparkled.

Swift and Kelce attended a wedding in New York City in May and were photographed outside the event.
While Kelce sported a black Essentials suit with subtle pinstripes, Swift glowed beside him in a shimmering Maria Lucia Hohan gown.
The sleeveless design had waist cutouts, all-over ruching, and thin straps.
It looked stunning on Swift, who wore it with gold Aquazzura sandals and opal jewelry that previously belonged to Elizabeth Taylor (whom Swift name-checked on her latest album).

Swift sat courtside with Mariska Hargitay, the Haim sisters, and other Knicks fans who cheered their way through Game 4.
Her outfit for the night was perfectly on brand. Made by Alana Haim, Swift's blue T-shirt had "Stevie Knicks" printed in orange across the chest.
The shirt was festive and fun, nodding to Swift's love for both the sports team and the iconic musician. She wore it with Area jeans and chain-adorned sandal heels.

Swift became the youngest woman inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in June.
She wore a custom Givenchy gown for the occasion. It was black, strapless, and corseted at the bodice, which connected to a floor-length skirt with a thigh-high slit.
It was a memorable look for an equally memorable night.

Swift arrived on the red carpet wearing a patchwork minidress from Erdem.
It had a corset bodice, off-the-shoulder sleeves, exaggerated pockets, and a raw hemline.
The dress was playful, fashion-forward, and the perfect choice for a movie premiere.

Refresh your smile for less during the Amazon Beauty sale with Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects. The popular at-home whitening kit has dropped to $35 — its lowest price since January. In total, you'll save 24% with the current promotion. The set includes 22 treatments designed to help remove surface stains from coffee, tea and other foods and drinks.
Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects offer a convenient way to help lift surface stains at home. Compared to the cost and efficacy of professional whitening, I find these effective. I've seen results after several days of consistent use.
I like that I can work them into my routine, too. They adhere to my teeth, so I can talk and drink water while they work. At the dentist, on the other hand, you have to lie in a chair and remain still throughout the treatment. When I'm done, I peel them off and toss them.
The Amazon Beauty sale brings the kit to its lowest price in nine months. At $35, it's just above its all-time low, making this a good time to save on a 22-treatment kit that could also work as a stocking stuffer.
Each kit includes 44 strips: one longer strip for the upper teeth and one shorter strip for the lower teeth in each treatment. Depending on the version, you can wear them for 45 minutes or one hour.
Tips for teeth sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity is one of the most common complaints among reviewers. Some shoppers report discomfort after several treatments, while others say the strips can be awkward to apply or leave an unpleasant taste. Results also vary, depending on your teeth and level of stains.
I find that using the strips four or five days in a row can leave my teeth feeling unpleasantly sensitive; I get around that by skipping two or three days when doing treatments so my teeth get a break.
"The sensitivity thing is real, and you do have to plan around that commitment," wrote one reviewer. "But if you want results you can actually see without breaking the bank or sitting in a dentist's chair, these are legit."
"Around day six, I started getting these little zings of sensitivity in a couple of my teeth. Nothing unbearable, but definitely noticeable. Switching to Sensodyne toothpaste for a few days helped a lot," said another reviewer. "If you've got sensitive teeth to begin with, you might want to do every other day instead."
