Thursday night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens may have marked the NFL season opener, but rather than being on the field, all eyes were on Taylor Swift. The “Tortured Poets Department” singer, 34, made her return to NFL stands to support boyfriend Travis Kelce, with her gameday look drawing plenty of reactions.
For the Thursday night outing at Arrowhead Stadium, Swift donned a denim Versace corset top, which Vogue reports is the same style as the black satin corset she wore during her Saturday Night Live appearance last October, and medium-blue wash denim shorts. For shoes, the singer wore a stunning pair of burgundy thigh-high Giuseppe Zanotti boots in patent leather. She paired the outfit with a myriad of accessories, including a 70s-era coin pendant necklace, gold bracelets, and Louis Vuitton Petite Malle bag. Swift, who gushed that she was “feeling fantastic” after the Chiefs won 27-20, completed the look with her signature red lipstick and wore her hair down.

Reacting to the outfit on a Reddit thread, one Swift said, “Okay, she’s serving.” Another person agreed, writing, “Yeah… that outfit is pretty fire,” with a third person adding, “I don’t care what y’all say, she looks GOOD. Taylor is aging like a fine wine!”
