Over the past two decades, Swift has been seen in some iconic looks that are filled with fun nods to her album concepts and lyrics. As always, it leaves plenty for her loyal fans to unpack.

Now, the pop cultural lore has taken on a refined, scholarly air, with the Victoria & Albert Museum in London opening its hotly-anticipated “Songbook Trail.” The free display of archival objects scattered across the museum’s permanent galleries tells the story of Swift’s ever-evolving style through 16 particularly memorable moments. Also on view are some of the instruments and prestigious music awards that have become accessories for the 14-time Grammy Award-winning artist.
