Taylor Swift is an undeniable icon when it comes to sunglasses. But did you know the ones she wore during her 1989 tour are actually her very own, Tay-branded shades? Yep, the pair you see in these pictures is marketed as the 1989 Taylor’s Version. And, having graced her face all the way through the tour, they deserve every right to be mentioned in this blog alongside her signature Ray-Bans and Stella McCartney frames.
Designed in Taylor Swift’s favorite style, the timeless wayfarers, the 1989 shades offer a sleek plastic frame in a cream color. The aesthetic is rather minimalist and casual, the only embellishment being the ‘Taylor Swift’ and ‘1989’ branding boldly showcased along the equally bold-shaped temples in the exact same blue tint that can be seen on the album’s cover. The lenses in basic black are polarized for optimal eye comfort, ensuring full UV protection to be worn not only as a statement accessory but also as a sun-safe pair of spectacles for the outdoors.
As of today, the sunglasses aren’t available on Taylor Swift’s official site but can still be found on major platforms and through individual resellers. The average price is delightfully affordable for a piece of Tay’s iconic on-stage style, starting at around $85 for a pair plus an original 1989 Taylor’s Version zipper case. Aside from the cream option worn by the singer during her 2015 tour promoting the album, this model can also be purchased in pink and blue.
The 1989 Taylor’s Version sunglasses are part of a limited-edition merchandise collection dedicated to the album’s re-release and sold through the singer’s official store alongside other themed items. Inspired by the 1980s influences, just like the album itself, the shades remain a coveted accessory, even though it has been almost a decade since 1989 first saw the light of day. Well, with Taylor Swift, no outfit or any part of it can really get old!
