One of Mississippi’s most-visited attractions has opened an exhibition devoted to the world’s most in-demand musical artists.
The GRAMMY Museum in Cleveland Mississippi unveils its ‘Taylor Swift: Through The Eras’ display on August 23.
Sponsored by Visit Mississippi, it celebrates the 14-time GRAMMY® winner’s 18-year career, from her 2006 self-titled debut album through to her most recent release, 2024’s The Tortured Poets Department.
On display until February 2025, the exhibit features artifacts, instruments and memorabilia that represent each of Swift’s 11 eras.
These include: the BCBG Max Azria dress she wore on tour in 2007, the custom Taylor GS-6 ‘Sparkle Guitar’ she played throughout her Fearless Tour from 2009–2010, a red sparkle Gibson Les Paul played by Swift during her Speak Now World Tour and the Custom Marina Toybina ensemble and LaDuca boots she wore during her performance of ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ at the GRAMMY Awards in 2013.
Other items include the custom Jessica Jones bodysuit and jacket and Christian Louboutin boots worn during her 2018 reputation Stadium Tour, the Gibson J-180 played during Swift’s 2019 City of Lover concert in Paris, the Oscar de la Renta dress and Christian Louboutin shoes worn at the GRAMMY Awards in 2021, the Stella McCartney coat worn by Swift on the cover of her 2020 album evermore and the Maticevski gown and gloves worn in the music video for ‘Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)’.
“We couldn’t be more excited to debut Taylor Swift: Through The Eras at our Mississippi Museum this year,” said Emily Havens, Executive Director of GRAMMY Museum Mississippi. We can’t wait to share this story with our visitors.”
Hannah Phipps, UK Account Manager for Visit Mississippi, commented “This is an exciting new addition to the GRAMMY Museum in Cleveland, which is already a must-stop destination on a music inspired fly-drive holiday through the Mississippi Delta.
“This region is so rich in music history, from Elvis’s birthplace in Tupelo, to the home of the Blues in Clarksdale, Indianola for the BB King Museum, and Dockery Farms, birthplace of the Blues. Everywhere you stop, you can hear incredible live music and enjoy a true taste of the Deep South.”
