Taylor Swift’s latest date-night look with NFL star Travis Kelce has unexpectedly shifted the spotlight from her relationship to her wardrobe — and fans aren’t holding back. While the couple’s New York City appearance on June 20 should’ve been a romantic public moment, Swift’s fashion choice instead triggered a wave of harsh online criticism.
Taylor Swift’s date-night outfit for Travis Kelce draws fan backlash and calls for a new stylist
Wearing a powder-blue corset-style top from Reformation paired with a Miu Miu embroidered mini skirt and cream heels, Taylor Swift clearly intended to channel a polished and playful summer vibe. The look was completed with her signature red lipstick, a side-swept French braid, and a white shoulder bag — all subtle nods to her 1989 era.
But the internet was unimpressed. Across social media, fans and fashion commentators alike voiced strong disapproval.
One critic @jamielopez3040 said, “Taylor really has no fashion sense,” while another @beachbabs added, “Time to drop the schoolgirl act and ditch the bangs.”One user @this_brown_egg went further: “That skirt looks ridiculous. It’s made for a child.” And the critique didn’t stop with Swift — even Kelce was roped in with the jab, “The worst-dressed couple!! They both need to hire a stylist immediately!!”

From nostalgic fashion to questionable choices: Is Taylor Swift’s style slipping?
This isn’t the first time Swift’s fashion has raised eyebrows recently.
A prior outing with Selena Gomez also drew backlash after she wore a black Gucci mini dress and chunky platform heels — described by fans as having a mismatched “1990s prom vibe.” One fan summed it up bluntly: “Taylor’s dress is so ill-fitting on her body type... Taylor has zero style.”The recurring criticism has led many to question whether the pop superstar’s signature mix of vintage flair and modern fashion has lost its edge.
While Swift is known for leaning into nostalgic callbacks, some argue she’s becoming more of a “style follower” than a trendsetter. “Tay Tay needs a new stylist,” another fan urged.Yet, despite the backlash, fashion insiders note that her corset top — Reformation’s Seren — is a current best-seller, indicating Swift’s eye for trendy, sustainable pieces hasn’t disappeared completely. The disconnect, they argue, lies in the overall execution, not the individual pieces.Also Read: No Taylor Swift, no problem—Travis Kelce takes over Nashville party stage and goes viral at Tight End U bashWith the public watching her every step — and stitch — Swift’s next outfit may determine whether she’s just in a stylistic slump or genuinely out of touch with her once-iconic fashion sense.
