Some Swifties are trying to figure out what the details on Taylor Swift’s bag mean. She carried it during a date night in a much-discussed outfit.
On October 12, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen enjoying a date night at Torrisi restaurant in New York City. They both looked stylish, but Swift’s all-gold outfit attracted a lot of attention.
While Kelce wore a blue T-shirt from Marni and khaki cargo pants, Swift chose an “Ivy Corset” and “Ivy Skirt” from Annie’s Collection by Annie’s Ibiza, which cost around $795 (£590) for both items.
The singer paired her outfit with $1,140 black platform mules from Versace. She also wore gold jewelry, let her hair down, and carried a $1,423 black and gold shoulder bag from designer Roberto Cavalli.
When photos of Swift and Kelce walking hand-in-hand to the restaurant surfaced, many people took to social media to comment on her look.
“Omg someone get her a stylist because this isn’t it,” one person said. Another echoed, “She could use a stylist. Especially with her money.”
Someone else wondered, “I wonder if she owns any nice clothes? Even jeans and a t-shirt?” Another commenter pleaded, “Just get rid of the bangs already, Taylor.”
More critical remarks followed, with users writing comments like, “Her dress sense is horrible… no style at all,” and “Why is she wearing a costume?”
“It’s giving curtain,” one person joked. Meanwhile, a fan on the fence expressed, “I love Taylor but this new style is…” Another person commented, “These outfits are a disaster.”
However, some comments were positive. “Taylor Swift is SO beautiful,” gushed one admirer. Another said, “Taylor and Travis both look so gorgeous. I love them together.”
A fan added, “They look great! Stylish couple.” Another praised, “Love the snake purse,” referring to the gold monogram on Swift’s Cavalli bag.
The bag featured the letter “R” in the center of two intertwined “C’s” made from gold snakes, leading many Swifties to speculate about its meaning.
Fans wondered if the emblem on the bag hinted at Swift possibly announcing “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” soon.
“Taylor Swift rocking a bag with the letter ‘R’ and snakes? Could it be ‘Reputation’ era vibes coming back?” one fan wrote. Another added, “Taylor never does anything by accident. Is this a new era of Renaissance or just a nod to the fans?”
Fans are excited because Swift often leaves “easter eggs” to hint at her upcoming plans. They noted that she has already released “Taylor’s Version” of her other albums, leaving only “Reputation” and “1989” expected to drop.
Before the comments about her designer bag, fans thought Swift might announce “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” during her Eras Tour shows in Australia or Japan in February 2024. They thought this because of an easter egg in her music video for “Bejeweled.”
However, instead, she released her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” On August 20, fans expected an announcement on stage, like she did with “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” and “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).”
That moment passed, and Swift released the music video for “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.” Still, fans have continued to speculate about “Reputation.”
Currently, some Swifties think the album might be announced on October 18, the day she starts the final leg of her tour.
As fans await the album announcement, Swift is enjoying her time with her footballer boyfriend.
Before their recent outing in New York City, they had dinner on October 11 with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
A few days earlier, on October 7, Swift showed her support for Travis Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium while his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, played against the New Orleans Saints.
According to a source, Kelce and Swift’s relationship is “beautiful,” and they manage to balance their busy lives. “It’s all about work-life balance, and everyone is dealing with different things. They just acknowledge how hard it is to manage relationships and everything else,” the source said.
15 Facts About “Harry Potter” That Even the Most Avid Fans Have Probably Missed
The world of Harry Potter is one of the most beloved franchises across several generations. The seven books covering the captivating story of young wizards, in total, sold more than 450 million copies, and the movies grossed more than $7 billion. A part of such great success has been the detailed work of all people involved which we, as fans, can admire infinitely.
We at Now I’ve Seen Everything wanted to dive deep into this magical universe and brought you our curious finds.
1. One might think that Aunt Petunia is cooking in this scene. But she is actually dyeing Dudley’s old clothes grey for Harry’s uniform. This is only ever mentioned in the first book.
2. Number 7 on Harry’s Quidditch uniform
- Actually, the number 7 is a symbolic number in the world of JK Rowling. Moreover, Lord Voldemort has 7 Horcruxes and the last one, as we know, was Harry, which is quite symbolic too. However, the costume designer noted that the choice of this number for the Quidditch uniform is a reference to David Beckham, who played under this number a while back.
3. In the third movie, when Hermione appeared in class out of nowhere, we can actually see her time turner around her neck, which she hides in the next shot.
4. The scarves of Hermione, Ron, and Harry
- The costume designers decided to hint at the character of each person with the help of tiny detail — a scarf. If you’re paying attention, you know that each character ties it in their own way. Hermione tightens it as neatly as possible, according to the rules. Harry throws the end of the scarf over his shoulder. Ron doesn’t tie this accessory at all.
5. Although it may have gone unnoticed amidst all the chaos, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 we get to see a reunion between Hermione and Viktor Krum.
6. As the story progresses and Harry and his friends begin to destroy the Horcruxes, you can see how Voldemort’s clothes become discolored, his eyes droop, and small lesions appear on his skin as a sign that he is getting weaker.
7. The changing costumes of Dolores Umbridge
- In the image of Dolores, it was important to outline that she has power. We see that she, like many other powerful people, is rather conservative. For example, she wears the same hairdo and sticks to the same colors. Umbridge adores the color pink but its hues change as the plot develops.
- The costume designer commented on it in the following way, “I started with a lighter pink, and then as the film developed the pinks get hotter and hotter and hotter because she’s getting more and more hysterical.”
8. Harry’s scar
In the final shot of the film, Harry’s scar is noticeably faded and barely visible. It’s the reference to the last line of the novel series, “The scar had not pained Harry for 19 years. All was well.”
9. Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort) asked for a hook to be added to Voldemort’s wand so that he could move more fluidly and “snake-like” without the wand falling from his hand.
10. In the last movie, Lucius Malfoy is seen sporting a new tattoo on his neck. This is the prisoner number he was given when he entered Azkaban.
11. Gilderoy Lockhart’s wig
- In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, attentive viewers can notice that the professor of Defence against the Dark Arts, has a wig lying on his table. As we will later learn, Lockhart is a liar, who was cheating everyone and hadn’t done any feats. That is, he lies about everything and even his golden curls are fake.
12. Professor McGonagall has a secret talent.
- The Quidditch trophy from Harry Potter and the Sorcerers’ Stone not only features James Potter, Harry’s father but Professor McGonagall as well. Who would have guessed she was such a great player.
13. Hermione’s valuables.
- When Lockhart unleashes the pixies, Hermione immediately throws her books to the ground while no one else does because she knows the pixies will rip anything in plain sight apart.
14. Severus Snape and Gryffindor’s scarf
- Severus Snape is one of the most controversial characters. It’s not without reason that we see a striped scarf from Gryffindor hanging on the wall in the scene where he is killed. Perhaps he personifies the true inclination of Severus, and in due time he should have gone to Gryffindor, not to Slytherin.
- In the book, Dumbledore once says the following phrase relating to the distribution of students by faculty, “Sometimes I believe we sort too soon.” Perhaps, the professor was right. Perhaps, the scarf hanging in the closet is saying that people can change for the better.
15. As strange as it may seem, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, a portrait of Voldemort can be seen on the side of the staircase.
