Taylor Swift's 2024 Grammy Awards Look Foreshadowed Her Secret New Album Announcement

With side bangs, wet-look waves, and red lips.

Look what we made her do—Taylor Swift blended both romance and Reputation at the 2024 Grammy Awards. While she didn't hit the carpet in a goth-inspired black gown, there were several potential nods to her sixth studio album in both her outfit and her hair and makeup—but unbeknownst to fans, that album won't be a Reputation re-record. Swift went for pure, unadulterated glamour for the show in a white strapless gown by Schiaparelli with dramatic black opera-length gloves and a pile of necklaces, including a black ribbon choker symbolizing the Midnights clock. It's the perfect blending of eras, old and brand spanking new.

Swift's dark blonde hair was pulled to the side in loose, almost damp-looking waves and styled over one shoulder with her famous fringe to the side instead of blunt across the forehead. She also wore a tiny braid woven from her ear, along the nape of her neck, and down through the mid-lengths of her hair. We'd say it's almost snake-like if we didn't know any better—but we do. Because shortly after walking the red carpet and accepting her 13th Grammy, Swift announced that she's releasing a brand new album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19th. The album cover art is black and white—just like tonight's look.

As for makeup, the singer stuck to her signature crimson red lip and winged eye sharp enough to kill a man, anchoring the liner with a warm rose eyeshadow and perfectly arched brows.

The ever-busy Swift is prepping to resume the next leg of her Eras tour in Tokyo, Japan on February 7, not to mention attending the Grammys and likely squeezing in a stop to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. I don't know how she finds time to sleep, much less re-record her entire discography, tour the world, and bring this much glamour to the red carpet, but then again, this is Taylor Alison Swift. She's got a big reputation.
