Ever since Lindsay Lohan proclaimed, "It's October 3" in "Mean Girls," we've understood the power of the date. Over two decades later, the third of the month that ushers in the last quarter of the year takes on a whole new meaning, thanks to none other than Taylor Swift. The songstress, who constantly dominates the spotlight (people are still reeling over her engagement to Travis Kelce), announced the release of her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl," on — you guessed it — Oct. 3.
She teased the news on the "New Heights" podcast, hosted by Kelce and his big brother Jason on August 11, pulling out her 12th studio album from an orange T.S.-monogrammed briefcase while wearing muted, orange lipstick. Swift also further expressed the deeper meaning of the color orange, with clues from her final Eras Tour show. "Orange feels like energetically how my life has felt," she said. And given Kelce's commentary on how upbeat the songs he described as "naturally bangers" are, we can predict that the singer's new era is just beginning.
While the hue holds sentimental value for the "Fearless" artist, we're not exactly mad at this new aesthetic. After all, it's one of the most classic colors for fall, often seen through changing foliage and autumnal symbols like pumpkins — making it an attainable trend to achieve. From the quintessential showgirl minidress to the album's vinyl for the ultimate Swiftie in your life, keep scrolling to shop our favorite Taylor Swift orange picks.

Sunglasses can easily make or break any outfit, and the aviator is a classic silhouette you'll never get tired of. Customers love this retro find, stating it brings in tons of compliments, with one reviewer saying, "If you want to look your coolest, then these are the shades for you."

A Cardigan
Generic Button Cardigan Sweater ($43)
It's no secret that Swift loves a good cardigan. She recently released a sparkly orange Lurex sweater for fans to shop, which, of course, sold out in under 48 hours. But no need to worry, the cable-knit design makes it easy to recreate, like this under $50 find from Amazon.
Sneakers

Adidas Gazelles and Sambas alike have proven to be a reigning shoe for the past few years, and they're not stopping any time soon. We love this muted orange style that's crafted with 100 percent calf suede, making it the perfect casual kick for fall.
A Sequin Dress

Press-on nails are all the rage lately, and for good reason. They're not only less than half the price point of a nail salon visit, but they come in the chicest designs, like this ombré, candy corn-inspired version from Glamnetic.
A Toner

A Perfume
Phlur Tangerine Boy Eau de Parfum ($99)
This Phlur tangerine scent is a great find if you want to live out the mantra, "smell good, feel good." It features notes of lemon, ginger, jasmine, apple, amber, moss, and tangerine, creating an irresistible fragrance that you'll never tire of wearing. Another plus? It's unisex.

It's also available in other sizes, including 8.5 oz and 50 oz.
A Vinyl
Urban Outfitters The Life of a Showgirl LP ($40)
This find for nailing Swift's new era is self-explanatory, especially if you're a serious Swiftie.

It's complete with all songs on the tracklist, including the eponymous album name, and is a great addition to any vinyl collection.
