Now that Taylor Swift’s Eras Era has earned her a nomination for the Golden Globes, broke numerous records, and helped her earn even more number one hits, she has to be thinking about what comes next. Which, her latest outfits might have been hinting at the past couple of months: Reputation (Taylor’s Version).

There was the time she wore an edgy-preppy outfit that had the internet buzzing with theories, there was also her edgy black SNL after-party outfit, her casual-edgy band tee moment, and now, most recently, one that we think is a reference to the slithering snake emoji that kick-started the iconic era.

On January 10, the pop superstar was spotted out in Brooklyn, New York, grabbing some pizza with her bestie, Blake Lively. Of course, both of them looked great. However, we’re here to obsess over Swift’s moody green eyeshadow and matching dress.

Underneath her signature eyebrow-grazing bangs and dirty blonde hair styled with a slight wave, Swift opted for a bold choice of eyeshadow. She went with a color she doesn’t reach for often—green.

A deeper, velvety, forest green shade, she covered her lid from corner to cat eye in the unique yet gorgeous hue. To make the eye color pop even more, she lined both her upper and lower water lines with dark black eyeliner. She also coated her lashes in matching black mascara. For the rest of her makeup, she started with a base of glowy, hydrated skin. Then, she traded her signature red lip for her other favorite shade, a matte peachy coral.

However, the hints of Reputation didn’t stop at the star's slithering glamour; they continued down to her dress and boots.

Swift’s dress gave us even more of the snake emoji vibes. A long-sleeved minidress, it grazed the middle of her thighs and had a low scooped neckline. Just like her eyeshadow, the dress was a velvety green shade of crushed velvet. The light reflected off the material, creating different shades of green. Might we say, like scales?

The Reputation vibes only continued down to her boots. A Jimmy Choo x Jean Paul Gaultier collab, her thigh-high boots were a dark tan color covered in graphics of black tattoos—including a large snake. Of course, she also had to accessorize, which also added to the dark vibes. She finished the look with sheer black tights, a Vivienne Westwood black bag, and a stack of gold necklaces.
