Viewing Taylor Swift | Songbook Trail at V&A

Calling all the Swifties out there: step into the melodious world of the award-winning American artist at the Victoria and Albert Museum South Kensington this summer. An enchanting journey invites you to experience the storytelling genius of one of the most influential artists of our time through her costumes, accessories, instruments and outfits – and it’s free.

Presented through various galleries at V&A, the trail offers an intimate glimpse into Swift’s poetry and power as a storyteller, with thirteen stops, each showcasing a chapter in the songbook of Swift’s illustrious career to date, growing from a country prodigy to a pop powerhouse.

“Taylor Swift’s songs, like objects, tell stories, often drawing from art, history and literature. We hope this theatrical trail across the museum will inspire curious visitors to discover more about the performer, her creativity and V&A objects”, says curator Kate Bailey.
