Taylor Swift's Diamond and Ruby Accessory Paid Tribute to Travis Kelce
Another game day, another Swiftie Easter egg.
Taylor Swift’s Chiefs style era is getting a blingy upgrade. As the “Blank Space” singer leaned into the black-and-red fashion memo during a coordinated entrance alongside Travis Kelce’s mom Donna on Friday, Nov. 29, she subtly paid tribute to her athlete boyfriend with a brand new diamond accessory. While watching the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Las Vegas Raiders, Swift showed off a large custom diamond necklace with the numbers “87” on it – a sweet reference to Kelce’s jersey number.
The day after Thanksgiving, the “Cruel Summer” singer was back in the stands as she cheered on the Chiefs during a break in her Eras Tour schedule. Swift’s latest game-day outfit was the epitome of loud luxury, as she showed off a crimson Louis Vuitton half-zip sweater, a scarlet Versace handbag with luxe gold hardware, towering black platform Alaïa boots, and her signature red lipstick. Always one to lean into a high-end jewelry moment, Swift wore her blonde hair off her face in an effortless braid to show off a pair of $3,905 Dana Rebecca diamond hoop earrings. However, her diamond necklace–which looked like a larger, more bedazzled version of the piece she wore to the 2024 Super Bowl–stole the show.

Swift’s unzipped jacket showed off a gold chain set with a ruby “87” pendant that was encircled by sparkling diamonds. It’s unclear if the piece was also from Stephanie Gottlieb, who designed the smaller $2,494 style she wore to the Super Bowl earlier this year.
In addition to calling out her support for Kelce with her jewelry choices, Swift shared a nod to her boyfriend’s jersey number while performing a mash-up of “Mary's Song," "So High School," and "Everything Has Changed" during the secret songs segment of her July 6 Eras Tour performance in Amsterdam.
As a visibly emotional Kelce watched from the VIP section, Swift sang the closing lines of her 2006 single “Mary’s Song,” which Swifties believe was an “invisible string” to her future relationship with the tight end.
The lyrics say, "I'll by 87, you'll be 89 / I'll still look at you like the stars that shine / In the sky, oh my my my,” which can now be taken as a reference to Kelce’s jersey number and Swift’s birth year. Coupled with “So High School,” which is speculated to have been written about Kelce, and the timeless love ballad “Everything Has Changed,” it was clear that the segment was an ode to her relationship with the football star.
