‘So Unflattering’: Taylor Swift’s Dress Opens in the Middle of Her Concert, Igniting Buzz

Taylor Swift’s dress accidentally opened up during one of her concert performances. The “unflattering” moment, captured by a concertgoer, has sparked criticism from observers. Some believe that the star’s dress mishap might have been purposeful for attention. This comes shortly after Swift sparked pregnancy rumors with her bikini snaps.

Superstar musician Taylor Swift experienced a slight wardrobe malfunction while performing for her fans on stage. Footage from the third night of her Eras Tour concert in Stockholm, Sweden showed Swift’s blue flowy dress opening up to reveal her gold bralette and sparkly black shorts.

The shocking moment happened when the blonde performer was just about to sit down at her piano and serenade the vast crowd. Handling the situation as best as she could, the “Shake It Off” artist quickly re-fastened her ensemble and sat down to give a sweet and exclusive rendition of her song “How Did It End?”

Despite Swift’s beautiful performance, which was met with nothing but ear-piercing screams of cheer and singalongs, many people who saw the video shared on TikTok by a concertgoer expressed disdain for the dress mishap.

“Her shorts look like a diaper. So unflattering,” commented a social media user. Similarly, another person wrote, “Those look like granny panties…..look good on her 😂.” An eagle-eyed Instagrammer who speculated that Swift was trying to let on that she is expecting pondered, “Hmm..🤔 looking kind of round on the lower abdomen. Is she trying to tell us something?”

The wave of criticism continued with other people asserting that Swift may have purposefully allowed her dress to come undone. “It looks intentional,” said a Facebooker. Another added, “Well she is used to taking her clothes off soo.” Joining the vitriol bandwagon, someone else criticized, “She’s a hot mess [and] has been!”

Though the singer received a lot of flak for what happened, her beloved Swifties came to her rescue. “It happens! She handled it with grace ♥️ 👏 👏,” commended a fan. Another admirer praised, “whatever she was wearing under it was nice too.”

For someone who—as PR and brand expert Andy Barr puts it—”is playing a savvy game when it comes to dressing like an everyday person,” Swift’s style is often spotlighted in the media. According to fashion expert Clemmie Fieldsend, “Taylor never really dresses to the occasion,” despite her over a billion-dollar empire.

However, preferring a more demure and laid-back style does not mean that the “Love Story” talent is afraid to step out of her comfort zone from time to time. She is well-versed in leaving people guessing, whether that’s done through her music or choice of clothing.

A popular fashion outlet that did a profile on her style earlier this year spoke about how Taylor Swift often uses what she wears to indicate that she has something in the works.

In this way, she sometimes uses clothes to represent what is taking place in her life, like when she proudly wears her footballer beau’s team sweater while supporting him at his games.

When Swift is not busy being the supportive girlfriend at Travis Kelce‘s matches, both she and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end spend their time doing other adorable couple activities like going away on vacation together. The duo was spotted in the Bahamas in March, where Swift sparked public speculation that she may have a little bun in the oven.

Pregnancy rumors didn’t come out of nowhere. They started when eagle-eyed social media users saw vacay snaps of the couple where Swift wore a yellow bikini, leaving her abdomen on full display. Fans started putting pieces together like they were solving a mystery.

One comment was from someone claiming to be an obstetrician, saying, “Her proportions would suggest she’s pregnant.“ And just like that, the internet was abuzz with theories and guesses.

Public reaction was significantly varied. On one hand, you had folks expressing things like, “She looks pregnant and sloppy.” Then there were others defending Swift’s appearance. They praised her for rocking “a normal regular body” and complimented her decision to wear a bikini with musings like, “waw first time i sa[w] her in bikini 😍😍😍.”

Adding to the mix, Kelce had previously dropped some hints on his podcast, “New Heights.” He hinted about loving the idea of having a baby, which, concerning the timeframe of the rumors and when he said what he did, just threw more fuel on the speculation fire.

Despite all the buzz, however, Swift and Kelce haven’t divulged much about what’s happening. They have neither confirmed nor denied the baby rumors. Instead, they keep everyone guessing with every picture or appearance.

This whole ordeal about whether they’re expecting or not has just added to the crazy amount of attention the couple has gotten since they started dating, making everyone even more curious about their relationship.

Meanwhile, for the duo, it’s just another instance of dealing with rumors and the spotlight, which shows how blurry the line can get between their private life and what we all see.
