Taylor Swift shut down the red carpet of the 58th Annual Grammy Awards when she walked with her date, Selena Gomez.

The 1989 singer appeared in her sexiest outfit to date, wearing a tiny red bandeau top with a high-waisted, pink maxi skirt. The outfit revealed her midriff, toned arms and her leg—thigh-high slits are all the rage this year—and our jaws dropped at how stunning she looked with her new haircut, too. But then we paused for a hot second because this outfit looked a tad familiar.

First and foremost, T.Swift gave us some serious 10 Things I Hate About You vibes, as her dress definitely channeled Bianca's iconic prom outfit from the hit film. While Bianca's gown was definitely more conservative considering it covered her entirely, it still turned heads at the time given its slight crop top nature. While Taylor's might be a more dramatic version, both stars looked very similar especially with the color combination.

Little Big Town's Kimberly Schlapman walked the Grammys red carpet with an even more closely resembling outfit. Instead of donning a crop top and skirt, Schlapman wore a pink and red color-blocked gown that featured a bow on her shoulder. The country music songstress' dress was more conservative as well, but both performers rocked their pink and red looks.

Swift, intentionally or unintentionally, also channeled Emma Stone's look from the 2014 Met Gala. Stone' wore a light pink crop top with a deeper magenta maxi skirt that also featured a high slit.

If that weren't enough, it seems some Twitter users felt that Tyreesha Jones, AKA Cody from the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, grew up and transformed into T. Swift. Not an exact replica like the ones listed before but similar top and skirt style.

But in an unexpected turn of events, we also have give a shout out to Dora the Explorer, the adventure-seeking cartoon character that makes purple and pink look so cool.
