Tonight's the night!

The fashion at the Met Gala this evening will surely blow us all away, especially given its unique theme: Manux X Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology. As one of the co-chairs, Taylor Swift will certainly be someone to look out for on the red carpet, so we're looking back at all her Met Gala looks from the past. T. Swift's style—both day-to-day and Met Gala—has changed over the years, but she has always stunned.

In 2008 the "Style" (how appropriate!) songstress donned a sequined Badgley Mischka gown. She wore her signature blond curly locks down and kept her makeup au naturel. She paired the gown with an orangey-gold clutch.

Two years later in 2010, Taylor wore a Ralph Lauren Collection ivory plisse georgette beaded gown. Her wavy hair was pinned back and she chose to make her lips pop with a bold red hue, which has since become a signature staple—and a song lyric!

In 2011 the "New Romantics" singer wore a J Mendel petal gown with Christian Louboutin heels. The asymmetrical nude gown also featured black lace detailing. She brought her bold red lips back to the event and added a bit of a smoky eye.

Swift repeated J Mendel in 2013 with a black and gold gown that featured a gorgeous jeweled neckline and shoulder covers. The J Mendel design featured cut outs around her waist and chest, which were daintily overlaid with netting.

The 1989 performer changed up designers in 2014, switching from J Mendel to Oscar de la Renta. The gorgeous satin pink gown featured an incredibly long train that began with an oversized bow on the back, as well as beading on the front. She had chopped her locks before the Met Gala that year, but she made sure to bring back that bold lip we've all come to know and love. Scarily enough, this gown almost never was.

"That moment when your cat casually walks up,then abruptly ATTACKS your custom satin Oscar de la Renta gown during your fitting for Met Ball," she tweeted at the time.

We can't wait to see what she'll be wearing to tonight's Met Gala.
