Did You Catch Gigi Hadid’s Taylor Swift Reference at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show?
Gigi Hadid had her bestie on her mind at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday night (Oct. 15).
The supermodel was the first to walk the runway at the iconic event in New York City, rising up from beneath the stage rocking a deep-cut pink silk outfit and fluffy angel wings. Before she began to walk, she took a page from her pal Taylor Swift‘s book, waving to the audience exactly like the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer did throughout the Eras Tour.

Hadid teased the reference to Swift before the show while chatting with ET in the dressing room, telling the outlet, “There is something new on this runway tonight that is new to at least me. I can’t remember if it’s ever been done on the VS runway, but there’s an aspect to it that I was trained to do by Taylor on her tour. At one of her rehearsals, she was like, ‘I’m going to show you how we do this,’ and now I’m using it tonight.” That “something new,” turns out, was the below-stage riser, which was also used throughout the night by models including Ashley Graham and Tyra Banks.
While Swift wasn’t in attendance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show this year, she’s no stranger to the iconic event. She performed “I Knew You Were Trouble” at the 2013 show, and returned a year later to perform “Blank Space” and “Style” in 2014.
This year, LISA and Tyla took the stage for jaw-dropping performances before Cher headlined the event by performing “Strong Enough” and “Believe.”
