Eagle-eyed fans spotted a nod to Swift in the fashion show.
Not even supermodels are exempt from being Swifties, as evidenced by Gigi Hadid’s shout-out to Taylor Swift in the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
The model, who opened the first VS Fashion Show since 2018, took to the stage on Oct. 15 and eagle-eyed fans quickly spotted a nod to the pop star.
Hadid, who opened the show on a platform that raised her onto the catwalk, struck a pose in bubblegum pink lingerie, matching high heels with straps that snaked up her calves, and oversized pink feather wings.

She paused for a moment before shifting her weight from one hip to another, lifting one arm in a wave, then blowing a kiss with a wink to the cheering crowd at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York City.
The Next In Fashion host then focused her gaze directly down the center of the room and strutted fiercely down the catwalk.
Fans on social media clocked the move as one seen often on the Eras tour, with one writing on X “she’s the archer OMG,” referencing Swift.
Hadid hinted earlier in the day that she’d be channeling her bestie, telling Entertainment Tonight “there’s something on the runway tonight that I was trained to do by Taylor on her tour. In one of her rehearsals she was like, ‘I’m going to show you how we do this,’ did that, and now I’m using it tonight.”
“yuuup as she should queen behavior,” said a fan on X about the homage. Though Swift was spotted out and about in New York City with boyfriend Travis Kelce in the days leading up to the event, Hadid shared that she didn’t expect her to be present at the fashion show.
“I think if they have one more night before he goes back they’ll probably be cozy on the couch,” she told the outlet. “That’s just my guess. But she will also be supporting, I can feel it.”
