After a Year of Dominance, Taylor Swift Dazzles in Slithering Gucci Gown at the 2024 Golden Globes
Fresh off her record-shattering Eras Tour and box office smash concert film, pop icon Taylor Swift slithered her way down the red carpet at last night’s 2024 Golden Globes in a shimmering emerald gown by Gucci’s new creative director Sabato De Sarno. Undulating with each step to reveal a daring thigh-high slit and pointy-toed heels, Swift’s custom look evoked her 2017 album Reputation and fan-favorite snake imagery.
Accessorized minimally with diamond earrings from De Beers and softly waved blonde locks, Swift allowed the slinky dress to take center stage. The muted emerald hue popped against the red carpet, coordinated elegantly with fellow nominee Sperry Lee’s light blue Monique Lhuillier gown. Playfully posing together, the two stars laughed and grabbed onto each other, showing genuine affection. While 34-year-old Swift stunned style-wise last night, her appearance marked a greater milestone – her first ever Golden Globe nomination for a cinematic achievement.
On the heels of her record-breaking Eras stadium tour, Swift released the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film in October 2024. Showcasing electrifying performances from each era of her prolific 16-year career, the film smashed box office records previously held by Beyoncé and Michael Jackson. It grossed $22.3 million on opening weekend, cementing Swift as one of music’s most bankable touring artists. Accordingly, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association nominated The Eras Tour concert film for Best Motion Picture – Cinematic Achievement, making it the first concert movie ever recognized in the category.
Although Swift ultimately lost to Warner Bros’ Barbie, the nomination caps off a wildly successful year for the singer-songwriter. After re-recording and releasing her first six albums to regain control of her masters, Swift embarked on her long-awaited Eras Tour in March 2024. Spanning across 52 shows, her seventh concert tour became the highest-grossing in United States history, selling over 2.3 million tickets and grossing over $250 million.
Beyond immortalizing the tour’s magic in her Golden Globe-nominated concert film, Swift spent 2024 flourishing romantically and personally. She rekindled her relationship with actor Joe Alwyn, enjoying a Parisian getaway and Caribbean yacht vacations between their busy schedules. More recently, Swift has been linked to DJ Calvin Harris, suggesting she is giving romance “a real try” once again.
Last night’s glamorous, snake-inspired ensemble hints excitingly towards Swift’s future album plans as well. With the first six albums re-recorded, fans eagerly await her seventh re-recording, 2017’s Reputation, represented by hissing snakes. By arriving at the Golden Globes in a slinky emerald gown evoking her Reputation era, Swift suggests the album’s release is imminent.
After dominating charts, stadiums and cinemas in 2024, Swift slithers stylishly into 2025 as both a fashion and entertainment tour de force. Her Golden Globe-nominated Eras Tour concert film cements her status as one of this generation’s greatest live performers. Likewise, last night’s standout Gucci gown proves her fashion icon status, bringing a high fashion twist to fan-favorite snake imagery. With heated romance rumors and Reputation (Taylor’s Version) likely on the horizon, 2025 promises even more record-breaking excitement from pop’s darling Taylor Swift.
