She initially gained fame for her down-to-earth, girl-next-door image, but pop sensation Taylor Swift decided to switch things up with a more daring style at the 40th MTV Music Video Awards. Making a statement in a bold tartan ensemble, Swift arrived at the UBS Arena in New York wearing a vibrant yellow and black Dior dress with a zip-up corset top and velvet shorts. Completing the look with thigh-high boots and long leather gloves, she exuded confidence and glamour on the red carpet. The tartan outfit was first unveiled at a fashion show for Dior’s 2025 Cruise collection at Drummond Castle near Crieff, in Perthshire, with stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Rosamund Pike in attendance.

Around 550 attendees gathered at the Dior showcase in rural Perthshire to witness the latest collection, inspired by Scottish craft traditions and the iconic Mary, Queen of Scots. Taylor Swift made a departure from her usual red carpet attire, opting for a Scotland-themed outfit following her successful performances in Edinburgh this summer. Swift’s concerts at Murrayfield Stadium drew a massive crowd of nearly 73,000 fans each night, breaking attendance records in the nation. The enthusiastic reception from Swift’s followers even caused seismic readings up to 3.7 miles away during her performances. The British Geological Survey noted spikes in seismic activity during songs like Shake It Off, Cruel Summer, and Ready For It?, with fans dancing energetically in sync with the music. The Dior showcase in Scotland featured kilts, unicorns, and thistles as design elements, with the iconic Bar jacket updated with velvet buttons. Dior has a longstanding history in Scotland, dating back to the 1950s when Christian Dior showcased his collections in Perthshire and Gleneagles Hotel. Celebrity guests were accommodated at the country estate and enjoyed activities like golf, archery, and a luxurious afternoon tea.
