There’s no record she can’t smash.

The Official Charts Company announced Friday that Taylor Swift has become the first artist to land three UK No. 1 singles in 2026 — and scored her fifth UK chart double, with “Patient Zero” and “The Life Of A Showgirl: The Encore” topping the country’s charts simultaneously.

And the musician picked a fitting look to mark the moment on Instagram, posing with her two trophies in a collared knit top by British label Burberry paired with pleated pants and a belt from The Row.

Swift completed her look with soft curls, winged eyeliner and a pink-nude lip.

This isn’t the first time the superstar’s embraced diplomatic dressing; during her international Eras Tour, she often coordinated her concert outfits to match the colors of her various host countries’ flags.

During her shows in Brazil, for instance, she rotated between yellow, blue and green dresses, while her stop in Argentina brought several blue gowns.

The color-blocked Roberto Cavalli sets Swift introduced partway through the tour allowed for even more displays of fashion diplomacy; she paired a yellow top with a blue skirt in Sweden, an orange top with a green skirt in Ireland, and a red top with a yellow skirt in Spain.

The brand’s creative director, Fausto Puglisi, told Page Six Style in 2024 that it was the pop icon’s own idea to mix and match the sets “like she mixes [musical] notes.”

“I designed [them] thinking about mixing orange with orange, turquoise with turquoise, purple with purple,” he told us at the time.

“But when we met in Paris, Joseph [Cassell, Swift’s longtime stylist] said, ‘She likes to mix [them] together!’ I start screaming from happiness, because I’m obsessed with color-blocking … There is this sense of freedom in mixing these colors.”
