Anticipation has been building for newly-engaged Taylor Swift’s third season of Kansas City Chiefs game day style. While the NFL returned last week, she skipped a plane ticket and outfit for the Chiefs’ game in Brazil—and also sat out of the 2025 VMAs red carpet. The longer she’s stayed out of the spotlight, the more I’ve wondered how she’ll coordinate her custom diamond engagement ring to her Chiefs vintage T-shirts and thigh-high boots.
I might have to wait a little while longer. Nearly an hour into the September 14 game against the Philadelphia Eagles—a rematch from the 2025 Super Bowl—Swift wasn’t seen in the stands cheering for Travis Kelce. Is she surprising us all with a stop by the 2025 Emmys red carpet, also happening tonight? Is she opting for a cozy night at home, with a private watch party? None of her fans are sure yet, and there’s still time in the game. But I’m certainly missing Swift’s game-day style from where I’m sitting. (This is a developing story. If Swift does attend the game, I will update this post.)

Even without Swift in the stadium, there were still fashion moments to take in from the NFL’s biggest power couple. Before changing into his Chiefs uniform, Kelce hit the tunnel walk in a textured navy shorts suit with black brogues.

While the superstar is keeping her game-day style hidden for now, she hasn’t entirely left her sporty era behind. Taylor Swift shared a glimpse at her upcoming season of game-day outfits at a college match-up in August. She joined both Travis and Jason Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on their alma mater, University of Cincinnati, in a Ralph Lauren sweater vest and Balenciaga denim skirt. In a nod to bridal style, she chose a little something blue to tie the look together: a periwinkle Celine handbag.

Taylor Swift’s game-day style reliably checks one of a few buckets. Either she supports a woman-founded brand—like Foundrae, a jeweler behind her favorite “T” pieces—or she taps a top-tier designer for elevated fan apparel. Louis Vuitton, Cartier, and Chanel featured heavily in her 2024-2025 NFL season outfits.
This season is looking just as busy as the ones before. Swift’s next studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, will arrive on October 3. Two days later, the Chiefs will play the Denver Broncos. I, for one, can’t wait to see her combine feathered showgirl style with her game-day gear, whenever she decides to attend another game.
