Swift's performance attire pays homage to previous eras, showcasing her attention to detail and storytelling.

Some of the attires she chooses are Lover: Versace bodysuit and blazer. Fearless: Roberto Cavalli dress. Speak Now: Nicole + Felicia gown. Folklore: Alberta Ferretti dress. 1989: Cavalli top and skirt.
'All the fans know why she's done it'
Urban, who appears in Swift's 'Fearless' Taylor's Version album single named 'That's When,' which is a 'From The Vault' track, praised Swift for her decision to rerecord her LPs. "I mean, look, she's not the first artist that's rerecorded old songs, but she's done it in such a way where she's been able to get her fans to get on board with these versions," Urban told the outlet. "All the fans know why she's done it, and more power to her as far as taking artistic control," he added.
Urban has previously served as a judge of 'American Idol' throughout seasons 12 to 15. Talking about his return he said, "To be able to come in as a mentor and play as well, is incredible. That was home for me for several seasons, and the mentoring part is probably one of the things I always enjoyed the most, getting to work with the artist one-on-one."
