Savannah Guthrie recreated Taylor Swift's look from The Eras Tour.

On Tuesday, October 31, Guthrie recreated Swift's opening number look from the U.S. leg of her Eras Tour — which is set to continue in South America on Thursday, November 9, with three consecutive shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The famed TV journalist donned a replica of the "Love Story" singer's knee-high sparkling silver, Christian Louboutin, red bottom, high-heeled boots, which she paired perfectly with a rhinestone-emblazoned leotard that looked drastically similar to Swift's iconic design from her world tour.

Guthrie mimicked some of Swift's well-known choreography, as she bent down and pointed at the crowd while strutting to the beat of the music alongside two women dressed as her backup dancers.

While Swift was a popular costume this year — especially for couples due to her budding romance with Travis Kelce — some viewers of the morning talk show weren't thrilled to see Guthrie take part in the harmless fun.
