As Ms. Bailey admired the contrast between the installations, the exhibition designer Tom Piper, a celebrated theater designer best known for his work on Shakespeare productions, wandered over. He wore a Hawaiian shirt and shorts and a look of merry bemusement. Before working on this project, he was not, he admitted, a Swift connoisseur. The appeal for him, he said, has been learning about the complex layers of visuals narratives within her work: the references to literature, nature, art and folklore, and to her own past work.When first approached by the V&A about the project, Mr. Piper was asked to sign a lengthy nondisclosure agreement to avoid news of the exhibition leaking. Only a handful staff knew about the concept.“I’ve never been on a project that had to be so secret,” said Mr. Piper, who has five daughters, from 16 to 30, three of whom have tickets to Ms. Swift’s August shows at Wembley. He said research for the project required him to skulk about his house and slam his laptop shut whenever one of his daughters appeared.

Some of her juxtapositions nod to the criticism that Ms. Swift has encountered across her career. On one of the first stops of the trail, the Versace shirt, cropped wig and stick-on facial hair Ms. Swift wore in the “I’m the Man” video — in which she challenges sexist double standards in the creative fields — is positioned in front of mosaic portraits of some of art’s great men from the 1860s and ’70s: Hans Holbein, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sir Christopher Wren. The figures glisten, looking down imposingly from up high.Broadly speaking, Ms. Swift may be something of a curator’s dream, given her fascination with objects. She flaunts her collecting impulse, and her story — and various reinventions — is inextricably connected to an array of artifacts.“There is a really great way that she relates to things, whether it’s mirrors, snakes, cardigans or other objects,” Ms. Bailey said. Her use of objects and emblems as a means of communication — part of her arsenal of weapons in feuds or reputational battles — is suited to a space dedicated to visual codes made tangible, to the treasured relics of the great and the powerful.Taylor Swift must be refreshing, Ms. Bailey mused, for an audience so often preoccupied with the digital. “She lands them in a place that feels real,” she said.
