Taylor Swift and Dakota Johnson Rock Affordable Earrings in ‘Patient Zero’ Video!

The cost of this item might surprise you.

During tonight’s VMAs, Taylor Swift unveiled her “Patient Zero” music video featuring herself and Dakota Johnson dressed in identical fashion. Notable brands like Khaite and Staud made appearances, but our attention was particularly drawn to a more wallet-friendly item: the Hello Gorgeous Drop Earrings by Melinda Maria.

Both Johnson and Swift wore these stunning $95 earrings alongside Valentino gowns in a celebratory scene, and you’d be forgiven for mistaking them for genuine gemstones.

These earrings are a hit with consumers, boasting a perfect five-star rating from over 60 reviews. One shopper remarked they look “so shiny and sparkly, just like real diamonds.”

Taylor Swift has previously adorned Melinda Maria’s jewelry, having worn the luxurious Julian Loves Diamonds Necklace at a Kansas City Chiefs game in 2024. Following that event, Maria expressed to Page Six Style that the “unique, blingy and cool-girl” piece sold out quickly.

Swift also showcased Maria’s Gabriella Pavé Spiked Hoops at the premiere of “All Too Well: The Short Film” in 2021.

“Joseph Cassell, her stylist, has been a major advocate for Melinda Maria and has consistently chosen our designs for Taylor for many years,” Maria shared in 2023, noting that these particular spiked earrings remain among the top five bestsellers long after Swift wore them.

The debut of “Patient Zero” coincided with Swift receiving the VMAs’ inaugural Artist Director Honors—a tribute to her contributions both in front of and behind the camera throughout her career.

While the glittering Tamara Ralph Couture halter gown Swift wore on the red carpet tonight may not be available for purchase, these earrings are—and they’re likely to sell out fast.
