Taylor Swift has sent fans into a spin by releasing a sneak peek of her newest music video for Fortnight dropping on April 20 – and there’s a subtle nod to Australia.
In one blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shot from a snippet posted on her socials, the megastar is donning an extravagant ball dress from Melbourne designer Toni Maticevski.
Toni Maticevski’s team confirmed to FEMAIL that Taylor is the first to wear the $6,200 Candescence dress and they have been in chats with the singer’s stylists since before the Grammy Awards where she announced the release of her latest album in February.
The pearl-coloured gown has a ‘sculptural silhouette’, angular neckline and a gathering of the artfully crinkled material at the hip to expose the thigh.
‘Euphoric and romantic the Candence Gown is one of the most coveted silhouettes of the season,’ Maticevski says.

Taylor is seen wearing the stunning dress as she throws a trolley through a mirror in what looks like a surrealist hospital.
Swifty style blogger Sarah Chapelle, known as Taylor Swift Style, praised the choice from 47-year-old Aussie fashion designer Maticevski.
‘This particular gown is from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection – its name of course to me is most reminiscent of the worn ‘candescent’, meaning to glow,’ she said.
The dress is similar to the white Schiaparelli number Taylor wore to the 2024 Grammy Awards.
It was at that Grammy’s that Taylor announced the release of her 11th studio album Tortured Poets Department where the song ‘Fortnight’ in the clip will be featured.

Maticevski has been making waves on the Australian fashion scene since he won the New Designer Award at the Melbourne Fashion Festival back in 2002.
From 2006-2010, the designer had shows at New York Fashion Week and impressed style lovers with a collection at Paris Couture Week in 2017.
Maticevski has grown his brand to create ranges of shoes, leather goods and children’s clothing, been featured on the pages of fashion magazine around the world and dressed celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Florence Pugh.
