Even offstage, Taylor has been known to enjoy a glass of wine, with favorites like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio according to Forbes. In fact, Ed Kelce noted that before the engagement, the couple went outside to share a glass of wine before dinner. What better way to celebrate each era of her career than with a perfect wine pairing? In honor of all the eras she has shared with us, we have rounded up the ideal wine for every Taylor Swift era so you can raise a glass to the soundtrack of your life.
Taylor Swift
Taylor’s debut album is all about young love, innocence, and the wide-eyed wonder of growing up. With songs like Tim McGraw, Pictures to Burn, Teardrops on My Guitar, and Our Song, she captured the heartache, excitement, and storytelling charm of small-town teenage life. It is sweet, nostalgic, and undeniably authentic, just like a glass of Moscato d’Asti. The Michele Chiarlo Nivole Moscato d’Asti DOCG, with its light bubbles, delicate sweetness, and approachable style, perfectly mirrors the innocence and charm of Taylor’s country roots and the heartfelt simplicity of her very first era.
Fearless
Fearless is all about fairy-tale romance and the whirlwind of growing up. With songs like Jump Then Fall, Fearless, Fifteen, Love Story, White Horse, and You Belong With Me, the album captures the optimism of first love, the sting of heartbreak, and the magic of young daydreams that feel endless. It is light, sparkling, and golden, just like a glass of Prosecco. Caposaldo Prosecco, with its crisp bubbles and bright, uplifting character, perfectly embodies the fearless energy of this era and is the ideal sip for reliving the soundtrack of youthful love and possibility.
Speak Now
Speak Now is an era of personal expression and self-discovery. With songs like Mine, Back to December, Dear John, Mean, Never Grow Up, and Enchanted, the album is deeply personal and entirely self-written, exploring growth, reflection, and the journey of finding her own voice in love and life. This era pairs beautifully with an oaked Chardonnay. Louis Jadot Pouilly Fuisse is complex, layered, and confident, perfectly reflecting the depth and artistry Taylor brings to every song in this deeply personal chapter of her career.
Red
Red is an era of love, loss, and emotional chaos. The album captures the passion, heartbreak, and dizzying highs and lows of love that is as intense as it is fleeting, perfectly summed up in the feeling of being “happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time.” This era pairs beautifully with a glass of Pinot Noir. Bezel Pinot Noir is bright, emotional, and complex, offering a rollercoaster of flavor that mirrors the album’s whirlwind of feelings and the intense, heartfelt vulnerability that defines Red.
1989
1989 is the sound of reinvention and freedom, marking Taylor’s bold evolution into the world of pop. With its shimmering production and confident lyrics, this era embraces independence, fun, and the thrill of starting fresh under the city lights. It is carefree, vibrant, and unforgettable, just like a glass of Lambrusco. Medici Ermete Concerto Organic Reggiano Lambrusco DOC, with its playful bubbles and bright, fruity character, is the perfect match for the energy of 1989, inviting you to celebrate every carefree moment and dance in your best dress.
Reputation
Reputation is Taylor’s era of revenge, rebirth, and power. Dark, edgy, and unapologetic, the album tells the story of reclaiming her voice, owning her narrative, and finding real love amid the chaos. It is intense, bold, and full of depth, much like a glass of Syrah. Craggy Range Le Sol, with its dark fruit, subtle spice, and powerful character, perfectly mirrors the fearless energy of this era and the strength Taylor exudes as she steps fully into her own.
Lover
Lover is an era of romantic whimsy and hope, celebrating love in all its forms, romantic, platonic, and self-love. Bright, dreamy, and eclectic, the album is wrapped in pastels and optimism, radiating joy and lighthearted charm. It pairs perfectly with a glass of Rosé. Montes Cherub, soft, romantic, and delightfully dreamy, offers a chilled blush-toned sip that captures the playful, heartwarming spirit of this era and the feeling of floating through a world full of love and possibility. The label even features a cherub, adding an extra touch of whimsy that perfectly reflects the album’s joyful energy.
Folklore
Folklore is an era of storytelling and escapism, inviting listeners into a softer, dreamier world. With its indie-folk introspection, the album weaves fictional narratives, nostalgic love stories, and quiet emotional depth that feel both personal and otherworldly. This era pairs beautifully with a dry Riesling. Zind Humbrecht Riesling Brand Grand Cru, with its bright, expressive character and layered nuances, mirrors the intricate storytelling and emotional texture that define Folklore, making it the perfect sip for getting lost in Taylor’s lyrical landscapes.
Evermore
Evermore is an era of reflection and maturity, serving as the introspective sister to Folklore. With thoughtful storytelling, the album delves into melancholy, closure, and the complexities of relationships, offering a deeper, more contemplative side of Taylor Swift’s artistry. It pairs beautifully with a glass of Tawny Port. Taylor Fladgate 10-Year-Old Tawny Port is rich, warm, and layered, with a complexity and depth that mirrors the mature themes of Evermore, making it the perfect companion for savoring the album’s introspective and nuanced stories.
Midnights
Midnights is an era of self-reflection and vulnerability, offering an intimate glimpse into Taylor’s late-night thoughts, insecurities, and confessions. Wrapped in shimmering synth-pop, the album balances sleek, modern production with emotional depth, creating a sound that is both introspective and captivating. This era pairs beautifully with a glass of Alvarinho. Quinta da Pedra Milagres Alvarinho is crisp, refreshing, and slightly unexpected, perfectly mirroring the album’s combination of polished pop sensibilities and raw, heartfelt honesty.
The Tortured Poet’s Department
The Tortured Poets Department is an era of melodrama, healing, and self-reflection. In this emotionally charged collection, Taylor Swift fully embraces the archetype of the “tortured poet,” blending genuine vulnerability with ironic wit. Drawing from raw heartbreak, public scrutiny, and creative excess, she crafts a poetic narrative that confronts pain while also playfully mocking it, ultimately reclaiming art as a form of catharsis. This era pairs beautifully with a glass of Amarone della Valpolicella. Buglioni Il Lussurioso Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is rich, bold, and full-bodied, perfectly matching the album’s dramatic intensity and indulgent emotion.
The Life of a Showgirl
The Life of a Showgirl is shaping up to be an era of bubbly personality, glamour, and theatrical flair. While we don’t yet know the full extent of the album, we are on the edge of our seats, excited for every sparkling detail. This era pairs beautifully with a sparkling Rosé. Domaine Carneros Brut Rosé Cuvée de la Pompadour, with its lively bubbles and celebratory character, mirrors the album’s exuberance, glamour, and playful sparkle, making it the perfect toast for a true showgirl moment.
Engagement Era
While Taylor’s engagement may not officially mark a musical era, it is undoubtedly the next defining chapter of her life. Fans everywhere are buzzing on social media, and the news has truly broken the internet. As we eagerly await every detail of her bridal era, one thing is clear: this moment calls for an extraordinary celebration. Taittinger Comtes de Champagne is the ultimate choice.
