Taylor Swift’s first red carpet appearance occurred in 2006 when she was 16 years old. Take a moment to process the information. She’s gone through a lot of style changes throughout the years. She’s also dealt with public romances, celebrity feuds, the “I’m going to let you finish” moment, and a slew of other issues and life events. There’s a LOT of fashion to understand, from her country days wearing cowboy boots with minis to her glittery pop queen ensembles. Here are few looks that will tell you that she has killer fashion styles.

1. The tresses! Nashville’s allure! And, of course, the cowboy boots!!! This was Taylor’s debut appearance at the ACMs, and she went on to win Top New Female Vocalist the following year.

2. Taylor attended the Clive Davis Grammys Party with a black Collette Dinnigan dress with silver embellishments and a cutaway at the neckline.

3. Taylor wore a gorgeous lilac Marchesa gown with Christian Louboutin heels to the 2010 ACM Awards. Neil Lane’s diamond earrings, a diamond ring, and a diamond bracelet completed her ensemble.

5. Taylor donned this lovely blush Oscar de la Renta floor-length gown with a dramatic train at the Met Gala “Charles James: Beyond Fashion.” Take a look at the enormous bow in the back.
