Taylor Swift's influence goes beyond her music and tours, extending to her evolving fashion sense. With the UK leg of her Eras Tour approaching, fans can draw inspiration from her iconic looks, including her choice of frames and shades that reflect the fashion of each era of her musical journey. If you’re planning to see Taylor Swift live in concert, just be aware of the elements if you choose to wear your prescription glasses. Wut Win, Dispensing Optician at Feel Good Contacts says “If it rains during an open-air concert, water droplets can get onto your glasses and obstruct your vision. Invest in a hydrophobic coating on your glasses to make them water-repellent and easier to clean.”
Let’s enjoy this fusion of eyewear, fashion and music by celebrating each era of her illustrious career.
Fearless era-inspired sunglasses
"Fearless" holds the record for being the most awarded in country music history and marked Taylor Swift's successful transition into pop music. It debuted at No. 1 and became the best-selling album of 2009. At the tender age of 18, Taylor made history as the youngest artist to achieve this feat. She became the youngest-ever artist when she was 20 years old to win a Grammy Award for "Album of the Year" in 2010, along with other accolades. Two of the album's singles, "Love Story" and "You Belong With Me," resonated with millions of fans and solidified her presence in the pop music industry.
