While some felt her look was almost unrecognizable, others took a lighter approach. One fan quipped, “She looks like a wax figure of herself .” Fans seemed to fall into two camps: those who praised her bold outfit and those who criticized it, alongside speculating about her appearance.

One particularly disappointed fan remarked, “I love her, but obvious nose job. That’s disappointing,” drawing attention to what some believed was a noticeable change in her facial features.

Not everyone was critical, though. Many took to social media to share their appreciation for the uniqueness of her outfit. “I actually dig this outfit! Not the same as everyone else!” one user commented, pointing out how her fashion choice stood apart from the typical red carpet looks.

Another fan expressed similar sentiments, saying, “This lowkey looks really good,” while another humorously added, “I’m digging this outfit. Looks amazing and also very Hufflepuffy,” referencing the checked pattern’s resemblance to the Hogwarts house colors from the “Harry Potter” series.

But not all were fans of Swift’s team. “Whoever dresses her needs to be let go,” another commenter quipped, clearly not impressed by the bold fashion statement. The divided opinions only fueled the ongoing conversation online.

This isn’t the first time this week she’s been the subject of speculation. Earlier, she was seen with her boyfriend at the US Open, which fueled pregnancy rumors.
The music icon and football star Travis Kelce, 34, exuded style and couple goals at the US Open on September 8. However, it was not their public displays of affection and joyful energy that captured online attention, but how Taylor’s physique looked in the dress she wore for the event.
