Here are some photos of Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss at last night’s BRIT Awards. Taylor Swift went for a dark, dragon-y look – this is Roberto Cavalli Atelier, accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewels. Swifty is #TeamTargaryen!!!!! Karlie wore a bold Thierry Mugler gown. Both ladies seemed to have abandoned their twee. Is this a temporary thing? Are they no longer about cutesy cupcakes and cookies and sleepovers?
Taylor picked up the award for International Female Solo Artist. She also performed “Blank Space” at the show, to decent reviews (I watched some clips and Tay-Tay is really not the best at choreography). But the most notable Swifty moment came when there was a cutaway during Kanye West’s performance of “All Day”. Here you go:
Bless her heart. I kind of love that she keeps standing up and doing her awkward dances at every music awards show, even though everyone always yells at her.
What else? Swifty explained yesterday why she posted those photos of her belly button, even though she always said that we would never see her stomach. Apparently, the paparazzi got some shots of her in a bikini and she was trying to make the pap shots worth less money, so she posted some ‘kini Instagrams. I understand the train of thought, but sometimes I kind of think Taylor is too self-aware for her own good. You can read more about Swifty’s thoughts here.

I loved her black and red dress, my first thought was it reminds me of Game of Thrones.
I thought her dancing was awesome, I’m pretty sure most people think its cute and fun now because you can tell she’s just enjoying life. Her first reaction to seeing Kanye’s performance was priceless LOL that’s how I felt when I saw it too, I thought he was amazing last night and I wish I had been on stage with him.
I agree. All her dancing does is remind me that she’s in her mid-20s (26, right?), so good for her! She’s responding to something that moves her by dancing and having fun, like a 20-something woman SHOULD do.
more like Geisha. cool dress either way
Yes, all it needed was a Mandarin collar. It is pretty; I like it. Kloss’s, however, not so much. The top looks too much like a pair of tatas.
A “geisha” is Japanese, they wear kimonos. This dress is not fitted like a kimono at all.
A “mandarin collar” is a stylistic piece on a “Cheongsam” dress, originating in China.
These are two completely different types of clothing, none of which are shaped like this dress.
That’s definitely an East Asian style of dragon, not a Targaryen style.
I know GOT is hot (and I love it myself), but there’s a whole world of mythology and iconography out there.
Yepp, the Targaryen dragons are bad ass. Would eat that tiny dragon for breakfast!
Awww lol she is so stiff its actually cute.
I could totally wear that dragon dress and be fierce.
She is not fierce enough for the dragon dress.
That should be my dragon dress. Though I couldn’t wear it to clinic when I’m treating patients, I could totally rock it for didactic classes.* I’m sure that my professors would love it. I know I would.
*sighs happily*
*For those who do not know: I am a student of Chinese medicine.
Frida_K, your dress envy brought a smile to my face. 😉 It is a really fierce dress.
thank you, she is warm milk and cookies and that dress is amazeballs!
I like the dress. It’s not a different silhouette for her, but definitly a different look!
I kind of like the dragon dress. Although I would have liked it better if the dragon had been blues and greens with gold accents or just more colorful in general. Karlie’s dress – maybe with some black on the bottom to balance it out? As it is it looks like a black “W” on her chest.
I want to draw a black belt on Karlie’s dress.
I want to draw eyes on the bust. googly eyes.
I like the dragon dress, just not on her, at least from the posterior view. The wrap-around tail either creates the illusion of a flat, square buttocks or it enhances that characteristic.
You said buttocks.
I did.
Is there something wrong with square buttocks? I have square buttocks. They’re the best booty shorts buttocks because booty shorts are square, too.
The way that tail is configured, it looks like a box, and no one’s butt is that boxy, are they? I think the tail could have been shifted slightly onto her backside instead of squaring it off.
So basically we need to get GutenRamen some dragon emblazoned BBS immediately.
YES!

Nothing wrong with a Cheez-It shaped buttocks.
More points for muumuus because when you sport the ‘muuu, you don’t have to worry about how your backside looks. The tent-like silhouette flatters all different buttock shapes.
Cheez-It shaped buttocks, LMAO
and nw I want one, thanks a lot snow kitten.
Cool dress – I bet it didn’t make the final cut for the Met gala but she still wanted to rock it.
I stand by anyone that’s not afraid to just dance.
I might not stand by them if there is kicking and arm flailing. Things could get dangerous.
Im standing off to the side, laughing.
…and pointing.
She danced like no one was watching… But people were watching and she looked like a tw*t. – Romesh Ranganathan
I liked her dress but that hair was woof. It looks a bit like Hillary Clinton’s typical ‘do. (Which isn’t bad, but not a match with that dress…)
I agree 100%, she really needs to ditch this Hilary Clinton look. I don’t know where she can go from here though hairstyle-wise? I have a feeling she doesn’t want to go shorter.
To be fair, I think she usually rocks the red carpet and saves the twee for the street. I absolutely can’t dance, so I don’t try to dance sexily. It’s so embarrassing to see Taylor try and fail to be sexy. On and off the stage.
I can’t stop watching the clip. It’s like she short circuits and then starts up again.
She had an ‘epiphany’ that cameras were locked on her, and then she starts. That’s how it’s programmed.
You people can be so vicious. You’ve never ever danced awkwardly at a concert? Good for her.
Yesterday ’twas the green dress and today dragon dress… I’m lovin’ the new Swifty.
Love, love, love the dress.
Isn’t the Met Gala’s theme this year “Chinese Whispers”? She should have saved this dress for that.
I seem to be the only one, but I hate the dress. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Cavalli dress that didn’t look tacky.
I don’t like it either, it does look super tacky.
Is she referencing Chinese New Year? (I’m off to another lion dance later today and more this weekend).
According to Karlie’s instagram she is wearing Tom Ford….

I saw a picture of Taylor posing with the Kardashians at the Brit awards. Man if she is going to bring them into her circle I am done buying anything of hers for the preteens and teens in my family. See ya Taylor.
This is a great improvement from her forever nude period.
I like it
Reminds me of Jimmy Page’s dragon suit in the Led Zeppelin days…so cool…just love it.

Great dress, very original. And kudos to her for always having fun at these events, no matter what people think. Some artists take these so seriously.
I love this dress. I’m a sucker for dragons, though. Kloss’s dress is awful-talk about Blank Space.
Taylor looks great, she knows how to evolve style gracefully while always maintaining a certain look.
And the Game of Thrones costume designer should buy this for Daenerys to wear, her house colors are black and red so she should be wearing something like this.
Love the dress!
Yes to the dress! but am I being picky, TS looks like a 40-year old.
In that Vine, she looks like a deer in the headlights, who then had a seizure.
I loved it on her. On a movie star, it would be too much. For a pop star, though, a restrained Cavalli is just fine. Now if only we could get rid of that hair…
