The more her songs radiate joy, empowerment and love, the more awestruck we are by her voice, her look, and her wardrobe.

Instant fame often ignites wardrobe misfires, but Swift has a sassy-as-her-lyrics knack for looking great without acting like she's all grown-up.

The kiss-and-sing girl has a thing for pink that sometimes causes rash decisions, but this feathery mini showed her almost blushing with innocence.
