Taylor Swift’s style moments have always defined eras, and back in 2019, she delivered one of her most playful transformations yet.

Before hitting the red carpet at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, the pop superstar surprised fans with a bold new look: vibrant pink streaks woven through her signature blonde ponytail. This whimsical touch perfectly captured her soon‑to‑launch Lover era.

She shared the first glimpse of the transformation on Instagram, captioning it, “Bout to walk out on the @iheartradio carpet, thought I’d show you first 🥰.” Little did fans know, this red carpet moment would become one of the most memorable beauty statements of her pre-Eras Tour years.

Taylor Swift Adds a Playful Twist with Sophia Webster’s Iconic “Chiara” Sandals

She also went whimsical with her footwear, finishing the look with the iconic Sophia Webster “Chiara” sandals — a standout design from the celebrated British shoe and accessories designer. Known for her bold, playful, and ultra‑feminine aesthetic, Webster launched her eponymous label in 2012 and quickly rose to prominence in the fashion world.

State Property’s Acapella Earrings: A Statement-Making Finishing Touch

While Taylor’s entire look is dazzling, the most eye-catching element is undoubtedly her stunning square suspension earrings.

The State Property Fine Jewelry creation supposedly symbolizes the “suspension of time,” but we’re just really digging the uneven balance of the square-shaped pink tourmaline, aquamarine, and pavé diamonds.

The earrings are the price-upon-request piece as State Property believes that no two pieces of their jewelry are identical.
