Taylor Swift, before she was well rounded, terribly moral and stylish young woman you see before you today, was a country music singer. A country music singer who had a penchant for cowboy boots and ballroom gowns.
Let's have a look at what she used to wear.
The Handkerchief Hemline
Handy, because if you get a snotty nose at some point and you're down a tissue, you can use this hem to wipe the bogeys away and let the stained part of the dress fall back into the draped hem and no-one will be any the wiser.
The Bonnie Tyler
80s hair and gothic dress? Here's what Bonnie Tyler should have been wearing in the Total Eclipse of the Heart video.
The Cowboy Western Damsel In Distress
This is for when you need to look like you run a bar in the Wild West called Big Bertha's Saloon. Whiskeys for everyone.
The OH SWEET GOD WHAT ARE THOSE BOOTS
This is what happens when people take the imagery from Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet too far.
The Wipe Clean look
Part Midsummers' Nights Dream, part linoleum, this dress is great for looking ethereal on the red carpet, then getting red wine spilling drunk on the dancefloor.
