She wore the “Ivy Corset” and “Ivy Skirt” from Annie’s Collection, a luxury fashion and bespoke brand from Ibiza. Both apparel items are being sold for around $795 (£590).
She wore Versace’s black platform mules, which cost $1,140. To complete her eye-catching attire, the pop star carried a $1,423 black and gold shoulder bag by legendary designer Roberto Cavalli.

“Writing this entire song from 2am to 6am [sic] was some of the most enjoyable times I’ve ever had in my life. @taylorswift, now we understand how to utilize a fire extinguisher. “I love you,” Abrams wrote, referring to their memorable night.
Swift’s passion for cooking is well-known, and in a previous Food Network interview, she explained how it helps her decompress during difficult moments. “Ever since, cooking has been my escape from stress and one of the only ways I can truly calm myself on a rough day,” she told us. She also thanked renowned chef Ina Garten with encouraging her to see cooking as a kind of self-care.
In a SiriusXM interview in August, actor Channing Tatum lauded Swift’s culinary skills, lending credence to her kitchen exploits. “She can also just cook like a random three-star Michelin Italian meal,” Tatum told us.
“She’ll be like, ‘What should we eat tonight? Give me a genre, and then we’ll say, ‘Italian,’ and she’ll whip out a risotto,” he continued. He stated that Swift frequently completed her meals with warm pop-tarts, which added a fun touch to her otherwise sophisticated food.
Swift has previously suffered injuries as a result of her creative interests. In a 2019 interview with The New York Times, Swift said that years of playing guitar had left her hands with calluses and scars.

“Well, I mean, I have quite thick calluses. You probably can’t see them.”I have some from simply changing strings and not being very good at it,” she explained.

“Get her a stylist because this isn’t it 🤮,” observed one witness, while another agreed, “She could use a stylist.” Especially with her money.
