Taylor Swift leads trend for slinky shimmer on Golden Globes red carpet

Taylor Swift shimmered in a custom green sparkling Gucci gown on the Golden Globes red carpet, which was dominated by slinky sequinned dresses.

The singer appeared to give a nod to the upcoming re-release of her album Reputation, by choosing a dress that fans could interpret as a nod to the snake theme of the record.

Swift was nominated for the inaugural box office and cinematic achievement gong for her Eras Tour concert film.
