Taylor Swift’s Grammys Red Carpet Evolution: From 2008 to Now

Calling all Swifties! The 2021 Grammys are quickly approaching, which means it’s time to reminisce about red carpets past.

While Swift had Us all up in our feels for the majority of 2020 and 2021 with folk-pop albums Evermore and Folklore, she initially made her Grammys debut as country singer. In 2008 she was nominated for Best New Artist. The mega-star in the making and “Teardrops on My Guitar” singer looked sweet as can be in a strapless purple number for her first walk down the carpet.

She’s served up long curls, blunt bangs and sleek updos. She’s rocked low cut dresses, thigh-high slits and tons of glitz and glam. She’s proved she’s not afraid to go bold with bright colors, but she’s also shown an appreciation for more classic looks.

For her first Grammy Awards, the "Love Story" singer looked like she came straight from a castle in a Victorian-esque Sandy Spika lavender dress.

 

Swift looked absolutely classic in a timeless black ballgown with a plunging neckline by KaufmanFranco. She accessorized the look with a Lorraine Schwartz jewels and a low chignon. 

A star is born! Taking home 4 Grammys this year, the "White Horse" vocalist looked like a leading lady. She wore an off-the-shoulder navy KaufmanFranco gown with her hair in tight curls. The look was accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz earrings. 

Absolutely gorgeous, Swift stunned in a Egyptian-inspired, mermaid-style Zuhair Murad gold gown, which she paired with Prada shoes and Neil Lane jewels. The high-neck dress had intricate designs and sequins from top to bottom. 

Greek goddess alert! The hit maker looked like she literally descended from heaven in an ethereal J. Mendel gown with silver trimming. As for her glam? The "Red" singer showed off blunt bangs with a braided headband. 

The epitome of glitz and glam, Swift dazzled in a sophisticated Gucci gown. The dress, which was belted at the waist, was worn with a high ponytail and a smoky eye. 

Easily one of her top looks, the pop star didn’t shy away from playing with color. She rocked an Elie Saab ombre teal mini and bright purple Giuseppe Zanotti heels. The star also debuted shaggier ‘do, but stuck with her side swept bangs. 

Perhaps one of the most iconic T-Swift looks of all time, the star was an absolute vision in a color block Atelier Versace two-piece set. From the coral crop top and the hot pink skirt to the red lip, this was hands-down one of her biggest fashion moments to date. 

Ethereal beauty! The pop star rocked an Oscar de la Renta mini dress finished with floral details at the 63rd Annual Awards Show.
