Taylor Swift’s famous folklore cardigan is one of the hottest items on the market with fans desperately searching for one of their own after Selena Gomez dressed as Swift in her Folklore era while attending The Era’s Tour in Arlington on Saturday night (April 1).
While fans were just happy to see Gomez there, they were quick to notice she was dressed like Taylor Swift from her folklore era. Gomez had her hair pulled back in two loose buns with gentle curls around her face, and was clad in a flowing white dress under, of course, the iconic folklore cardigan.

The cardigan is probably one of Taylor Swift’s most sought after pieces of merchandise with fans immediately searching for the garment after seeing the singer wear it in her magical music video for ‘Cardigan’ from her surprise album Folklore.
Swift put a limited run on sale after sending them to a number of her celeb pals with a note that read: “I hope this cardigan will keep you in these extremely uncozy times,” Swift wrote in a note attached to each parcel. “Sending you a socially distanced hug and all my love, Taylor”.
The cardigan was of course snapped up by fans immediately after going on sale and she has since done another drop ahead of the era’s tour. So, how can you get your hands on the iconic folklore cardigan? Here’s what we found.

In a Live Q&A before the music video for “Cardigan” was released, Taylor explained, “The song is about a lost romance and why young love is often fixed so permanently within our memories. Why it leaves such an indelible mark.”

Taylor elaborated in an interview with BBC Radio 1: “This is a song that’s about long lost love, and looking back on it and how special it made you feel,” she said, adding, “all the good things it made you feel, all the pain that it made you feel.”
