Taylor Swift has been spotted out and about in New York City this week, clad in several casual, cozy outfits as she goes about her daily activities. Sources have captured the pop icon taking a studio session, stepping out for coffee, and even braving the rain, providing fans and outlets plenty of photo ops and style inspiration.
Out and About in the Big Apple
On Thursday, January 19th, Swift was seen exiting a recording studio in the city wearing an oversized gray hoodie dress and chunky black sneakers [1]. The sneakers were a pair from Beyoncé’s Ivy Park collaboration with Adidas [2], showing Swift’s support for her fellow artist. She paired the casual outfit with a green backpack for functionality.
Earlier in the week, on Tuesday the 17th, Swift donned a zebra-print fleece jacket and black leggings as she grabbed coffee in the city [3]. She finished off the look with white sneakers and a blue surgical face mask, keeping a low profile.
And just yesterday, Thursday the 19th, Swift braved the rainy weather in a forest green dress with a thigh-high slit as she arrived at Electric Lady Studios [4]. She paired the dress with brown knee-high boots and a long black coat.
| Date | Outfit | Activity |
|---|---|---|
| Jan 17 | Zebra jacket, leggings | Coffee run |
| Jan 19 | Hoodie dress, Ivy Park sneakers | Exiting recording studio |
| Jan 19 | Green dress, brown boots | Arriving at recording studio |
Relationship with Travis Kelce Goes Strong
Many outlets have speculated about Swift’s relationship status with NFL pro Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. The musicians were first romantically linked last November [5], though both have been coy about defining the relationship.
Sources close to the stars report that things are going well but they are still just seeing where things go. An insider said, “Taylor is cautiously optimistic about Travis. It’s not a full-blown relationship yet, but they’re having fun getting to know each other better.” [6]
Neither Swift nor Kelce have posted about one another on social media, but fans have noticed flirtatious likes and comments. It’s likely they are keeping things low key for now, especially with Swift’s high profile relationships in the past.
What’s Next for Swift?
With multiple studio sessions under her belt this week, speculation is swirling about Swift releasing new music in 2024. She was seen exiting Electric Lady Studios in NYC on January 19th with a guitar case in tow [7], suggesting she may have been laying down tracks.
It’s been over two years since Swift’s last album, Evermore, was released. The prolific singer-songwriter typically takes about two years between full album releases, so new music this year would follow suit.
Some fans have theorized that her green dress spotted on the 19th may have been an Easter egg hinting at upcoming music. Green was the primary color used during her Reputation album era [8]. A return to her Reputation sound would be unexpected but exciting for longtime Swifties.
While nothing has been confirmed yet, Swift is clearly working on new material. She has kept details tightly under wraps, but new music announcements could be imminent.
Over her career, Swift has been known to drop surprise albums with little advance warning, building suspense among fans. She may follow a similar pattern with her forthcoming 10th studio album.
Swift’s Cozy Yet Stylish Street Style
While Swift could walk out in just about anything and set trends, her recent comfortable ensembles have struck a particular chord with fans. Many have celebrated her casual, relatable looks on social media. [9]
In particular, her oversized gray hoodie dress spawned memes and jokes about wanting to emulate the cozy style. [10] Fashion sites surmised it’s The Row’s popular Cashmere Hoodie Dress, which retails for $4,490.
Between the green gown and thigh-high slit boots to the Ivy Park sneakers, Swift has served up envy-inducing yet surprisingly accessible looks as she goes about her regular NYC activities.
While her wardrobe may include four-figure dresses, she mixes in athleisure wear from brands like Adidas and Lebanon. This high-low contrast reflects Swift’s ability to be glamorous and candid all at once.
