The exhibition is truly called Trail, with a total of 13 stops scattered throughout the museum, literally going up and down the V&A. The first stop go in from the main door, turn left and go upstairs. Then follow the signs in order.

The exhibition celebrates the success of Swift's UK tour, showcasing her album, her clothes and instruments on tour, as well as her musical story from childhood to childhood. I have to say, these costumes are gorgeous! I like stop3 and stop10&11 best.

Only 10&11 of them were in line for five minutes, and they were in the same aisle with Swift's videos and songs on loop. It was beautiful. The whole Trail was much better than I expected, and it was worth seeing. There are Swift tour clothes, London posters, picks, and songbook trail canvas pockets.

This exhibition is not concentrated in one hall, but distributed in all corners of the museum, and needs to shuttle between different exhibition areas of the museum. There are 13 stops, each showcasing Swift's clothing, instruments and musical stories from her tour.

The collection includes a black peplum dress from Taylor Swift's music video for Fortnight, a dress she wore at the premiere of her blockbuster film The Eras Tour and cowboy boots she wore on tour with Tim McGraw/Faith Hill in 2007.

Some tips:
stop1 to 13 are distributed from the top down, stop1 is at museum Level 3. The museum is very big and it is easy to get lost. You can directly ask the staff for the direction of stop1 after entering the museum and go straight to stop1.

After finding stop1, you can follow the signs all the way to see all 13 stops in order. 13 stops are distributed in various places of the museum. In the process of following the signs, you can also enjoy a lot of other exhibits in the museum. On the way, we pass a jewelry showroom with a lot of bling bling

After the tour, you can stop by the V&A's souvenir shop to pick up some official Taylor Swift tour merchandise, including a canvas bag for the special exhibition as well as tour clothing and guitar picks. Babies who go to V&A for the first time can also get a canvas bag, which is also very good for school.
