Taylor Swift made a head-turning entrance into the 2023 GRAMMYs red carpet on Sunday (Feb. 5).

The “Anti-Hero” singer donned a custom navy two-piece set by Roberto Cavalli that shimmered from head to toe with the scattered beading. Swift accessorized with matching oversized earrings by Lorraine Schwartz and Giuseppe Zanotti heels.

She made her way into Crypto.com Arena for “Music’s Biggest Night” with one win already under her belt for Best Music Video for “All Too Well: The Short Film.” This award was announced during the Premiere Ceremony.

The rest of her nominations included: Song Of The Year for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version),” Best Country Song for “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version),” and Best Song Written For Visual Media with Where The Crawdads Sing‘s “Carolina.”
