Taylor Swift sparks reputation speculation with $65K outfit and necklace at AFC championship

Taylor Swift’s $65K Louis Vuitton outfit at the AFC Championship included a symbolic necklace.

Taylor Swift made a splash at the AFC Championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, showcasing a $65,000 luxury ensemble while supporting Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Fans believe her outfit included a subtle nod to her Reputation era, fueling speculation about the anticipated release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version).

Swift's game-day look featured a bold Louis Vuitton outfit, including a $5,000 monogrammed hoodie, a $550 beanie, and a $2,850 chain wallet, paired with Victorian-inspired ankle boots and gloves. Her jewelry added over $54,700 to the ensemble, highlighted by a $3,950 Le Damier ring, an $18,500 bracelet, and her signature $32,200 Panthère de Cartier diamond watch. However, one accessory in particular stole the spotlight—a custom 18K gold and diamond ancient coin necklace by Steven Battelle.

Fans were quick to analyze the necklace, speculating it featured intertwined snakes, a symbol synonymous with Swift's Reputation era. Others suggested it may represent a warrior, aligning with the Chiefs’ fighting spirit. Style expert @TaylorSwiftStyled noted Swift's recent preference for vintage coin necklaces, particularly at Chiefs games, adding, “It feels like embodying a fighting/warrior mindset that fits with sports themes.”

The unique Steven Battelle design, which sources antique coins, made identifying the exact carving challenging, but similar Ancient Greek snake coin designs retail for over $3,000.

Swift’s edgy fashion choices, paired with the temporary removal of Reputation and Debut from Spotify, have kept fans on high alert for Easter eggs. Her continued support for the Chiefs and her sartorial storytelling reflect her ability to blend personal style with professional narratives, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what’s next
