The Crescent City was delighted to see Swift's choice for her "1989" performances Friday night: A purple crop top, gold skirt and shimmery green boots. The ensemble, which is apparently the first time she's worn the three colors together in this way on The Eras Tour, is a tribute to New Orleans Mardi Gras.

I, like so many others, spend way too much time trying to analyze Taylor Swift. The moment a childhood friend played “Should’ve Said No” for me on the school bus in fourth grade, it kicked off 17 years of combing through the singer’s works for meaning.
