I didn't know the lyrics of Taylor Swift's upcoming track "Wi$h Li$t" when she sat down for an October 2 interview on The Graham Norton Show in London, England. Her twelfth album, The Life of a Showgirl, was still hours away from being released and, presumably, shattering streaming records. If I'd been the one with the glitter gel pen, I would have written a bar or two about the David Koma dress Swift chose for her sit-down.
The Showgirl singer arrived at her first televised interview of the album's press cycle in a surprisingly understated mini dress. Anyone anticipating a vintage Bob Mackie pull (to match the outfits in Showgirl's official photoshoot, lensed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott) or all-over tangerine orange (like her album art's font) needed to revise their bets for this era's aesthetic—at least offstage. Swift's black halter dress was entirely unadorned, save a collar of silver gems circling her throat like a necklace.
