The fans of Taylor Swift, known as Swifties, showed up in great numbers in Liverpool to cheer on their beloved pop star during a performance on her latest Eras Tour.
Taylor put on an amazing show in Edinburgh, Scotland last weekend, wowing the crowd with her dazzling costumes. During The Tortured Poets Department set, she surprised everyone by donning a pair of black gloves for the first time since adding new songs to The Eras Tour. This change came after a mishap that forced her to switch up her outfit. Fans were left speculating about the significance of her outfit choice when she appeared on stage in Liverpool wearing the iconic TTPD Vivienne Westwood dress, this time paired with white gloves instead of black. This was only the second time she wore gloves with this outfit, the first being in Scotland when she experienced hand cramps. For some eagle-eyed fans who notice every little detail, this was a significant moment in Taylor’s performance.

Some fans were speculating that the white gloves could be a hint for an upcoming announcement related to her album The Tortured Poets Department, such as a new music video. Others believed she wore them for practical reasons, with Swifties on X, formerly Twitter, guessing that she wore the gloves to keep her hands warm. “Taylor is starting the TTPD era! Tonight she’s wearing little white gloves to keep her hands warm #LiverpoolTStheErasTour,” one person posted on social media. Another fan commented, “Oh my god, it must be really cold because @taylorswift13 is wearing gloves!!! Someone protect her fingers! @taylornation13, we need heaters for her!”
On the second night in Scotland, she opted out of wearing gloves in her ensemble (Image: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images) Taylor has kept mum about the reason behind wearing gloves, especially white ones. Speculation is rife that the white gloves could be a subtle reference to her album The Manuscript. The Manuscript is just one of the variations of TTPD. Along with The Bolter, The Albatross, The Black Dog, and The Manuscript, these editions make up Taylor’s TTPD variant editions. Each variant edition is named after a bonus track featured in it.
