Taylor Swift was elegance incarnate at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.

The Midnights crooner stepped out on the red carpet at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles just minutes before the evening's festivities got underway, where she glowed in a gorgeous sleeveless white gown with full-length black gloves.  

The dress featured a corseted back and a hip-high slit, allowing the touring artist to show off her toned legs amid the gown's flowing train. She wore a pair of black peep-toe stilettos and accessorized with a black and white choker that appeared to be a watch—a reference to the time concept that runs rampant throughout the Midnights era—and a stack of silver necklaces layered beneath it.

Her blonde hair was left in loose curls with her bangs swept to the side and, of course, she finished the look with her signature red lip.

It's a far cry from last year's Grammy 'fit, which was comprised of a monochromatic two-piece made of a Midnights blue fabric with beaded accents sewn into a firework pattern—an apparent nod to the record that was released just a few months prior.

While this year's nominations all surround her 10th studio album, Swift opted for another apparent hint toward her next rerecording, which fans are convinced she'll announce during this evening's broadcast.

Both her formal outfits and street style of late have given off reputation and debut vibes simultaneously, like her glimmering green Golden Globes gown and the velvety green A-line mini dress she rocked during a New York City dinner date, but the black and white look is giving definitive reputation vibes this evening.

She's nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Anti-Hero," Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year for Midnights, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Karma" featuring Ice Spice.

Fans hoped that she and beau Travis Kelce would make their red carpet debut in honor of the ceremony, but the tight end and the Chiefs are hard at work preparing to take on the 49ers in the Super Bowl. Kelce and his fellow Chiefs skipped out on the Pro Bowl, which was scheduled to take place in Orlando on the same day, to travel to Las Vegas ahead of the Feb. 11 matchup at Allegiant Stadium.

Kelce confirmed the news on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday, Jan. 31, sharing that their travel plans conflicted with the red carpet. "I wish I could go support Taylor at the Grammys and watch her win every single award that she's nominated for," he said, adding, "Unfortunately, I gotta get ready for this big 'ole Super Bowl that we got in a week."

We're also hoping to see Swift in attendance at what will mark her 13th game of the season, though there's still no confirmation as to whether she plans to be present. She starts back up on the Eras Tour on Feb. 7, performing several shows in a row in Tokyo through Feb. 10. With a 17-hour time difference, it's certainly possible for her to make it to Vegas in time. It's likely to impact her typical post-show recovery routine, but if anyone can power through, we have a feeling it's the "Don't Blame Me" singer.
