Vuelidate & Tailwind: Why am I always seeing invalid errors? - vue.js

Question

For the life of me I cannot seem to understand why I am always seeing the validation error(s). The logic is working great, it seems to all be in my :class binding(s) that I've got it all wrong. I know I'm going to feel really silly when I get this figured out, but after countless tutorials that I feel like I've literally copy/paste from, I'm still in the same boat.
Here is my template for email. The password input is the same...
<div class="relative">
<label for="email" class="sr-only block text-sm font-medium leading-5 text-gray-700">
Email address
</label>
<input type="email"
id="email"
v-model.trim="$v.user.email.$model"
:class="{ 'border-red-500': !$v.user.email.required}"
placeholder="Email"
class="mt-1 placeholder-gray-400 shadow appearance-none border rounded w-full py-3 px-3 text-gray-700 leading-tight transition duration-150 ease-in-out sm:text-sm sm:leading-5 focus:outline-none focus:border-gray-400 focus:shadow-outline-gray"
/>
<div class="absolute inset-y-0 right-0 pr-3 flex items-center pointer-events-none"
v-if="!$v.user.email.required">
<svg
class="h-5 w-5 text-red-500"
fill="currentColor"
viewBox="0 0 20 20"
>
<path
fill-rule="evenodd"
d="M18 10a8 8 0 11-16 0 8 8 0 0116 0zm-7 4a1 1 0 11-2 0 1 1 0 012 0zm-1-9a1 1 0 00-1 1v4a1 1 0 102 0V6a1 1 0 00-1-1z"
clip-rule="evenodd"
/>
</svg>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mt-2 text-sm text-red-600" v-if="!$v.user.email.required">
Email is required
</p>
<p class="mt-2 text-sm text-red-600" v-if="!$v.user.email.email">
Please use a valid email address
</p>
</div>
This is what my script block looks like:
data: () => ({
errors: false,
user: {
email: "",
password: "",
},
}),
validations: {
user: {
email: { required, email },
password: { required },
},
},
methods: {
async handleSignIn() {
this.$v.user.$touch();
this.empty = !this.$v.user.$anyDirty;
this.errors = this.$v.user.$anyError;
if (this.$v.$invalid) {
this.errors = true;
} else {
try {
...
}
}
}
As I enter a valid email and/or password, the validation errors go away. If I try to submit with invalid data, the validator is working properly. With a valid email/password, I'm able to successfully submit the form.
When the page first loads, here is what my form looks like. How can I correctly render the form to only show the errors if a field is invalid?
Thank you for any suggestions!

Try to add the $v.user.email.$error condition to the border class binding, the icon and the error message :
<div id="app">
<div class="relative">
<label for="email" class="sr-only block text-sm font-medium leading-5 text-gray-700">
Email address
</label>
<input type="email" id="email" v-model.trim="$v.user.email.$model" :class="{ 'border-red-500': $v.user.email.$error}" placeholder="Email" class="mt-1 placeholder-gray-400 shadow appearance-none border rounded w-full py-3 px-3 text-gray-700 leading-tight transition duration-150 ease-in-out sm:text-sm sm:leading-5 focus:outline-none focus:border-gray-400 focus:shadow-outline-gray" />
<div class="absolute inset-y-0 right-0 pr-3 flex items-center pointer-events-none" v-if="!$v.user.email.required">
<svg v-if="$v.user.email.$error" class="h-5 w-5 text-red-500" fill="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 20 20">
<path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M18 10a8 8 0 11-16 0 8 8 0 0116 0zm-7 4a1 1 0 11-2 0 1 1 0 012 0zm-1-9a1 1 0 00-1 1v4a1 1 0 102 0V6a1 1 0 00-1-1z" clip-rule="evenodd" />
</svg>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="mt-2 text-sm text-red-600" v-if="$v.user.email.$error">
Email is required
</p>
<p class="mt-2 text-sm text-red-600" v-if="!$v.user.email.email">
Please use a valid email address
</p>
<button class="rounded w-full flex justify-center text-gray-100 bg-purple-700 hover:bg-purple-800 px-6 py-2 flex items-center">
