Back in 2010 Taylor was still singing country, still rocking curly hair and forming her iconic swimsuit style: preppy prints in retro designs.
Before she decided she wanted her belly button to “be a mystery,” she exposed it (once!) in ultra-low-cut bottoms that she made look more sweet than sexy.
When you're vacationing on Cape Cod with Conor Kennedy (yes, her then-beau from that famous family) we suspect the unspoken rule is “go preppy or go home.”
And Taylor was not going to go home. (Seriously: She bought a house there.)
Signature stripes to celebrate the stars and stripes? (She's at a Fourth of July bash.) Too easy. Taylor does red, white and blue her own way!
Not even water sport participation (seen here paddle boarding with Ed Sheeran) could deter her preppy vibe.
The Internet freaked out when she finally bared her belly button, but we were way more shocked that she ditched the red and blue suits for something so colorful.
But… it didn't last long. On the same trip with the Haim sisters, she reverted to her signature full-coverage navy one-piece — but she was in on the joke, writing on Instagram, “She's always wearing, like, a 1950s bathing suit.”
Epic Fourth of July bash? Check. Perfect jummping pic with your squad? Check. Adorable swimsuit? Check.
She even went full-on sporty Swift in a sassy new Day-Glo suit on their romantic getaway.
