Taylor Swift has teased her fans by releasing a teaser for her new music video for Fortnight due out on April 20, and there’s a subtle nod to Australia.
In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it snippet posted to her social media, the megastar wears an extravagant ballgown by Melbourne designer Toni Maticevski.
Toni Maticevski’s team confirmed to FEMAIL that Taylor is the first to wear the $6,200 Candescent dress and have been in talks with the singer’s stylists since before the Grammy Awards, where she announced the release of her latest album in February.
The pearl-colored dress has a “sculptural silhouette,” an angular neckline and a ruching of the material artfully crinkled at the hip to reveal the thigh.
“Euphoric and romantic, the Candence dress is one of the most coveted silhouettes of the season,” says Maticevski.
Superstar singer Taylor Swift wore Australian fashion designer Toni Maticevski’s $6,200 Candescent dress in the video for her latest single, Fortnight, which will be released on Saturday.
Taylor is seen wearing the stunning dress as she throws a trolley through a mirror in what looks like a surreal hospital.
Swifty style blogger Sarah Chapelle, known as Taylor Swift Stylepraised the choice of Australian fashion designer Maticevski, 47.
“This particular dress is from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection; its name, of course, to me is very reminiscent of the used ‘candescent’, which means to shine,” she said.
The dress is similar to the white Schiaparelli number that Taylor wore to the 2024 Grammy Awards.
It was at those Grammys that Taylor announced the release of her eleventh studio album Tortured Poets Department, where the song ‘Fortnight’ will appear in the clip.

Maticevski has been making waves on the Australian fashion scene since winning the New Designer Award at the Melbourne Fashion Festival in 2002.
From 2006 to 2010, the designer participated in New York Fashion Week and in 2017 impressed fashion lovers with a collection at Paris Haute Couture Week.
Maticevski has grown her brand to create ranges of shoes, leather goods and children’s clothing, has appeared in the pages of fashion magazines around the world and has dressed celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Alessandra Ambrosio and Florence Pugh.
