Taylor Swift’s $9,019 Bearcat Game Outfit Has Unique Tie to Travis Kelce Engagement

Taylor Swift is in her bridal era!

The 14x-Grammy winner, 35, stepped out in a $9,019 ensemble alongside her fiancé Travis Kelce, also 35, to attend the Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers game at Arrowhead Stadium in their first public appearance as a newly-engaged couple on Thursday, Aug. 28.

In classic Swift-fashion, the “Cruel Summer” singer’s look appears to be Easter egg-coded from top to bottom. Not only did she wear white ahead of the anticipated wedding, but the outfit combination the pop superstar wore is similar to her engagement photo ‘fit shared two days prior on Instagram.

For her top, the musician wore the Polo Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit V-Neck Sleeveless Vest currently available for $989 on Farfetch. The dress she wore during her proposal, meanwhile, was also by the American fashion label: the Striped Silk-Blend Dress by Polo Ralph Lauren.

Swift paired the cable-knit with a $1,450 pleated mini skirt by Balenciaga for a preppy, yet edgy collegiate (or rather, “so high school”) vibe. The distressed piece is light blue cotton denim from the brand’s Fall ’25 Collection.

The shoes Swift wore to the game are a subtle nod to her future mother-in-law, Donna Kelce. She’s wearing $2,680 knee-high boot by Louis Vuitton, called “The Donna High Boot” (with similar styles available on the brand’s website).

Swift, who confirmed her romance with Travis in October 2023, accessorized with the $3,900.00 Mini 16 Bag by Celine. She picked up the piece in a shade of pastel blue, complimenting her denim skirt in a coordinating hue.

Also on full display while attending the Cincinnati Bearcats, where the Kansas City Chiefs tight end used to play college football, was Swift’s blinding engagement ring. Cameras caught the “Love Story” singer in a suite with her fiancé, as well as her metallic green nails and diamond dazzler. 

Her massive ring is an old mine brilliant-cut shaped stone that Kelce designed with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. 

On Aug. 26, the pop superstar and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced their engagement in a joint-Instagram alongside several photos from their floral-filled garden proposal.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” Swift wrote in the caption.

Kelce proposed with a ring he designed with Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. The dazzling stone is an “old mine brilliant cut,” which Swift shows off in a series of photos announcing the big news.

Swift and the Super Bowl champion went public with their romance in October 2023 when they stepped out holding hands at a Saturday Night Live afterparty.

Approximately a week before the engagement news, Swift hinted that she and Kelce live together during her New Heights podcast debut on Aug. 13.

Kelce’s family have given the “So High School” singer their stamp of approval.
