Taylor Swift Just Exemplified the TikTok-Viral "Wrong-Shoe Theory"

Do I watch random people's TikTok livestreams every weekend to see which surprise songs Taylor Swift sings at each of her concerts? Perhaps. Given my dedication to following her Eras Tour, it's no surprise that I'd also be fixated on her offstage outfits, and today is no exception.
Photographed in New York City in between shows, Swift wore a laid-back outfit for a recording session at Electric Lady Studios consisting of a button-down shirt by The Row, a Free People skirt, a Patou bag, and Malone Souliers shoes. I love that she juxtaposed a flouncy skirt with chunky lug-sole shoes—perhaps Taylor Swift's a proponent of the "wrong-shoe theory" made popular on TikTok?
