Taylor Swift took the stage at the Grammy Museum for her first performance since her wedding, and the video has only just been posted to YouTube. During the short set, she performed a medley that included “All Too Well,” “August,” and her latest track, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” from the Toy Story 5 soundtrack. While we all know who Swift is singing about on that 1989-era hit, the latter song could be a nod to the brand of dress she wore for the occasion. She knows Dôen as well as any other West Village girl.
Swift chose a wispy, draped sage green Dôen dress made of crinkled silk chiffon, with a deep red floral brooch fastened to one strap. The asymmetric neckline flowed into a dramatic cape-like back that moved as she played. Her Kindred Lubeck engagement ring from Travis Kelce was on full display as she played the piano. She also wore jewelry including Retrouvai diamond heirloom bezel earrings and an Effy duo 14K white and gold diamond chain link bracelet.
Her glam stayed signature: dark blonde hair swept into a braided low bun, with thick bangs sitting just above her brows. Her eyes were framed with a feline flick of liner, and she opted for a red lip that matched her floral pin.
The pop star sat down for a Q&A with Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. to discuss her career. “I’ve loved—and I think this can happen as you grow up—my country roots more and more,” Swift said. “The further along this path I get, I want to honor them more and more, and I feel more and more tied and more loyal to them—the people that shaped who I am as an artist and as a writer.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have kept a pretty low profile in the weeks following their big Madison Square Garden-set wedding in July. There have only been a few long-lens photos of the couple together at a friend’s wedding—that of athlete JuJu Smith-Schuster and Laura Kruk—and solo shots of Swift enjoying a girls night out in London and the English countryside wedding of Oli Jacobs and Laura Sisk. (The latter appearance showed off Swift’s new, much shorter haircut, which she got after this Grammy Museum performance.)
The Dôen dress Swift chose for her performance is one of many in her wardrobe (though it’s no longer kept in her famous Cornelia Street apartment, as she’s moved to a multi-property compound in Tribeca). It stays in line with a very particular, romantic, whimsical style of dressing you often see around the West Village. The Nelida dress is already sold out, so if you’re interested, you’ll have to keep an eye on The RealReal and Poshmark. The brand’s flowing dresses and sheer top-skirt sets have been all over the celebrity scene this summer, from Olivia Rodrigo to Margot Robbie.

Pastel and soft tones have also been a recurring theme in Swift’s recent outfits. For the London girls night mentioned earlier, she wore a lilac, crystal-embellished Delphine mini-dress. For the iHeartRadio awards, she chose a sculpted Wiederhoeft corset dress in seafoam. Could TS13 follow a similar color theme?
