Taylor Swift’s “Reputation” album was met with a lot of mixed reviews when it dropped, and the same can be said about her choice of outfits to promote the album. In 2017, she posted an album promo picture on Instagram wearing a sequin rainbow dress with a matching jacket by Ashish. “Let the games begin,” she wrote.
Initially, some thought that this was Swift’s way of showing support for the LGBTQ+ community. “Taylor Swift wearing a rainbow dress indicating she’s supportive of the lgbtqa+ community I love one (1) woman,” one Swiftie remarked (via Teen Vogue). However, others shut these claims down quickly, replying with comments criticizing Swift — and that ensemble. “Don’t call Taylor Swift the next Gay Icon just cause she wore an ugly rainbow dress. Think about it, when did Taylor ever speak up or contribute anything to the lgbtq community?” one wrote. Another added, “This is the s*** you’d get sent home for on RuPaul’s drag race.”
On top of it all, the outfit was paired with distracting gold basketweave booties. This look officially goes down as one of Swift’s worst to date.
