Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has been one of the biggest pop culture moments of 2023. Fans have been traveling the country, and soon the world, to watch the incredibly talented singer perform songs from almost all of her albums, with each album signifying a different era.
We wanted to join in on the fun and suggest designs that fit with each era. You can decide which CONQUERing design to get based on what era you identify with.
Debut
Taylor's self-title album, referred to as "Debut" amongst fans, was her first album that broke her into the country music scene. This era was defined by big dreams and the general woes of being a teenager.
The first design we recommend for this era is the Wish (Dandelion) element. The dandelion reminds us of open fields and country-life, something Taylor was trying to capture with this album. She also had a ton of big wishes, from being a successful country music artist to selling out stadiums, that eventually came true. If you're in this era, you might also have a lot of wishes you hope come true someday!
The second design we recommend for this era is the Heart Symbol element. Taylor is known for throwing up a heart made with her hands during her concerts. This started when she began touring with this first album. If you're in this era, you might be looking to figure out what symbols and ideas define you.
The third design we recommend is our DREAM BIG element. The Taylor that wrote this album had a lot of big dreams that she would eventually end up achieving (and exceeding). If you're in this era, you probably dream without limitations. Don't let anyone tell you that your dreams are unachievable—you can do anything you set your mind to and achieve dreams you never thought were possible.
The final design we recommend are our two crystal Mookaite elements (Red Mookaite and Yellow Mookaite). These crystals are both associated with youthfulness and comfort, which are both associated with this era. Taylor exudes youthful energy in this album by touching on first loves and first heartbreaks. It also has elements of comfort displayed by her writing about things she is familiar with. If you're in this era, you might be trying to connect with your inner child, and remember what life was like in your youth.
Fearless
Fearless is Taylor's second album that really started to establish her in the country music space. She won Album of the Year at the Grammy's with this album and showed the world that she was a force to be reckoned with. This era was defined by hard work.
The first design we recommend for this era are the Forever & Always Element Pair. While the song with this name on the album is a sad song, this phrase is how Taylor defines love. For many of us, we consider our serious commitments to be Forever and Always. If you're in this era, you might be in a place where you're saying this to someone or have said this to someone. You are serious when it comes to relationships.
The second design we recommend for this era is the Breathe element. "Breathe" is another song on the album that's about how hard it can be to get through a tough time. When you're going through tough times like that, sometimes it's even hard to do basic things, like breathing. This element serves as a reminder to focus on the very basics of life to get through those challenging times. If you're in this era, know that we are rooting for you and that you have the power to get through what you're going through.
The third design we recommend for this era is the FEAR LESS element. Obviously, this is the name of the album, but it also signifies that love (and other parts of life) can be really scary. Sometimes you have to push away that fear and jump blindly with the hope that things will work out. If they don't work out, that's okay because you gained experience and can learn from what went wrong.
The final design we recommend for this era is our Purple Jasper Crystal element. Purple Jasper is associated with fearlessness and patience, both attributes that are exhibited during this era. Love requires patience at all times and fearlessness at others. If you're in this era, use this element to take a leap of faith.
Speak Now
Speak Now is Taylor's third album and has a huge focus on loving deeply and experiencing true hurt from love. Taylor writes about the hardships of growing up while in the spotlight and what it means to really love someone.
The first design we recommend for this era is the Lotus Flower Symbol Element. The Lotus flower must grow through dirt and make it through harsh weather before flourishing and growing into the flower it is. If you're in your Speak Now era, you're likely dealing with, or just dealt with, a period of life that truly tested your limits. Use the Lotus Flower to remind yourself that you will make it out better on the other side.
The second design we recommend for this era is the LET GO element. Songs on this album, specifically "Last Kiss", focus on how hard it can be to let go of something, or someone. If you're in this era, you might be struggling to move on from the past. You have to find the strength to leave your past woes in the dust and move forward to a better future.
The third design we recommend for this era is the baby steps element. Taylor has a song on this album called "Never Grow Up" which is about how fast life moves and to try and enjoy every moment while it lasts. This element can help remind you to take life a little slower and enjoy the time you have with the people you love.
The fourth design we recommend for this era is the Rhodonite Crystal element. Rhodonite is associated with deep love and emotional healing, two themes that are prevalent throughout the album. You might be in a period of life where you're experiencing love that's deeper than you ever thought possible. You also could be in a place where you were hurt by someone you love and you're in the process of healing.
Red
Red is Taylor's fourth album. This era is defined by survival, learning your worth, and growing stronger from the hardships you've faced.
The first design we recommend for this era is the IT WILL BE OK element. Sometimes things aren't okay, and that in of itself is okay. This element is a reminder that you will eventually heal and that you will be able to see things for how they truly were. Many of the songs on this album are Taylor reflecting on parts of her life that weren't okay and recognizing that she is worth so much more. If you're in this era, you might be experiencing some clarity in situations where someone you loved hurt you.
The second design we recommend for this era is the Survivor element. Taylor's Red album is all about surviving the hardships that life and love throw at you. If you're in this era, you might be experiencing challenges that put you to the test. This design can serve as a reminder that you have the strength to survive what life throws at you.
The third design we recommend for this era is the Nope. element. This element is all about setting boundaries and telling people no. If you identify with this era, you probably have been pushed to your limits by the needs of other people. This design can help you find the power in telling people no.
The final design we recommend for this era is the Carnelian Crystal element. First and foremost, the color of this crystal is usually warm autumnal colors, like reds and oranges. This album exudes the energy of Fall. This crystal is also associated with courage and endurance—both attributes that can help you get through whatever tough times you're experiencing.
1989
1989 is Taylor's fifth album and begins to explore her journey of adulthood. This era is defined by trying new things, exploring new places, and meeting new people.
The first design we recommend for this era is the DO OR NOT DO element. Sometimes in life, you have to allow yourself to do something even if you know you'll probably fail. Since this era is defined by taking risks, we thought this element could help you decide if you should or shouldn't do something.
The second design we recommend for this era is the It's a new day element. Everyday presents new opportunities—it's up to you to decide if you seize those opportunities or let them fly away. If you're in this era, you're likely looking for new experiences and yearning to make lasting memories. This element reminds you that everyday is a new day for a new experience.
The third design we recommend for this era is the EXPLORE element. There are so many parts of life that encourage exploration. Whether it's going to a new place, trying a new restaurant, or going on a date with someone that might not be "your type", it's up to you to decide if you'll seize those moments of discomfort or stick to what you know.
The final design we recommend for this era is the Moonstone Crystal element. Moonstone is associated with happiness and new beginnings. You might be looking for a new beginning or just looking to incorporate new things in your life. Whatever it may be, it's believed that Moonstone can help amplify those qualities in a person.
Reputation
Reputation is Taylor's sixth album and truly took the world by storm. This album was totally different from what she had put out in the past and marked a transformation in who she is. If you're in your Reputation era, you're likely not putting up with haters and you're unapologetically establishing who you are.
The first design we recommend for this era is the Prove them wrong element. In this era, Taylor took all of the rumors and negative things people said about her and proved them wrong. This design can serve as a reminder to you that there will always be people that doubt you and say bad things about you, you don't have to let those things define you.
The second design we recommend for this era is the STILL I RISE element. Taylor rose like a phoenix from the ashes when she released this album. If you're in this era, you're entering a new period of your life as a reborn individual. You have what it takes to overcome and rise up better than anyone could ever imagine.
The third design we recommend for this era is the MADE YOU LOOK element. This element reminds us of the song "Look What You Made Me Do" where Taylor demanded that everyone who put her down look at how she came out on top. This design can help give you the strength to tell the people that doubt you to look at how little their opinion affects you.
The final design we recommend for this era is the Onyx Crystal element. This element is associated with protection, will power, and strength. Those three attributes are defining of this era, from protecting your reputation, finding the willpower to put yourself back out there, and possessing the strength to ignore your critics.
Lover
Lover is Taylor's seventh album. This era is defined by all kinds of love—love for a partner, love for friends and family, and love for yourself.
The first design we recommend for this era is the LOVED element. This album is full of reminders that you are loved and capable of giving love to others. If you're in this era, you're probably in a sweet spot of life where grass seems a bit greener and the air feels a bit clearer. This design can help you capture this feeling and return to it whenever you feel unloved.
The second design we recommend for this era is the FAITH element. Love requires us to put a whole lot of trust and faith in other people. Trust that they won't hurt you and faith that they'll always act in your best interest. when you're in this era, you're putting faith in the people that hold your heart.
The third design we recommend for this era is the SELF LOVE element. When it comes to love, you need to love yourself before you can love other people. This album explores some of Taylor's journey to finding self-love and understanding her worth. This design is your reminder to give yourself grace and speak about yourself in the same way you speak about the people you love.
The final design we recommend for this era is the Rose Quartz Heart-Shaped element. Rose Quartz is associated with compassion, love, and self-worth. We chose the heart-shaped crystal since hearts are the universal symbol of love. It is believed that Rose Quartz can help promote those associations which could help you fully commit to this era.
Folklore
Folklore is the eighth album and introduced Taylor into the Folk music sphere. This album features a lot of creativity and allowed Taylor to shy away from the personal narratives were prevalent in her other albums.
The first design we recommend for this era is the Moon & Stars Symbol Chroma Flip element. In the song "seven" on the album, Taylor mentions loving someone "from the Moon and to Saturn" which became a way for people to show how much they love their partners, best friends, and family members. You might have someone in your life that you consider to be the Saturn to your Moon.
The second design we recommend for this era is the Enough element. A lot of the themes in this album center around the idea of being enough. Begin enough for your partner, being enough for your community, being enough for your family, and being enough for yourself. If you're in this era, you might be struggling with what it means to be enough. This element serves as a reminder that by just being your authentic self, you are enough for the people in your life.
The third design we recommend for this era is the CREATE element. Taylor was able to get really creative with this album, inventing new worlds and stories about imaginary people. If you're in this era, you might also be feeling creative and wanting to explore your day dreams. Let this element be the catalyst that lets you start exploring.
The final design we recommend for this era is the Labradorite Crystal element. Labradorite is associated with transformation and stimulating imagination. Folklore was a very transformative album—it was a new sound and featured new stories. If you're in this era, you might be in a transformative period of life. It is believed that you can use Labradorite to help you through times of transformation and will help you lean into your imaginative side.
Evermore
Evermore is Taylor's ninth album. This era is defined by feeling lost and unsure of yourself. Evermore is also the sister album to Folklore.
The first design we recommend for this era is the STAY STRONG element. This album does have a focus on some of the sadder parts of life. If you're in this era, you might be feeling a bit down about everything. This design can help remind you that you can push through those feelings of anguish and step into a brighter future.
The second design we recommend for this era is the FAMILY element. There's a song on this album titled "marjorie" that Taylor wrote about her grandmother who passed away. Losing a loved one is something that many of us can relate to, and if you're in this era, might be something that happened to you recently. This design reminds you that family is always with you, no matter what.
The third design we recommend for this era is the Compass Symbol element. This era has a focus on feeling lost—whether that's in a relationship, in your life's purpose, or in your identity. Compasses are used to help people find what direction they're supposed to be going when they're lost. This design can help serve as your life compass, setting you on a direction to find yourself.
The final design we recommend for this era is the Moss Agate Crystal element. This crystal has vine-like inclusions that reminds us of the song "ivy". Moss Agate is also associated with prosperity and restoration. Those two qualities are what you need to get through your Evermore era.
Midnights
Midnights is Taylor's tenth album. This album came right before the Eras Tour began and is defined by confidence in who you are and recognizing when you've become complacent.
The first design we recommend for this era is the Glitter round element. This design perfectly embodies the feeling we get when we listen to "Bejeweled". If you're in this era, you're probably done holding back your sparkle. Let this design be your reminder to shine.
The second design we recommend for this era is the YOU GOT THIS element. This design lets you know that at the end of the day, you can always rely on yourself to get by. Since this era explores coming to terms with the fact that someone might be holding you back, it's important to remind yourself that you are capable of taking on the world by yourself.
The third design we recommend for this era are the Sun & Moon Symbol Element Pair. In the song "Midnight Rain", Taylor touches on what it means when two people that are opposites come together. In some cases it's magical but in others it can mean dimming each other's brightness. If you're in this era, you might be with an opposite that's magical and want to share this pair with them.
The final design we recommend for this era is the Amazonite Crystal element. Amazonite is associated with success, sincerity, and integrity. The other theme of this album is gaining success by being authentic to who you are. A few of the songs make subtle jabs at people who judged her in the past for being her authentic self. If you're in this era, you're probably experiencing a lot of success, despite the people that told you to change who you are. Amazonite is believed to help amplify those qualities and could help you remind yourself to be authentic.
