Taylor Swift stepped out bejeweled at the 2025 Grammys in Los Angeles, but a subtle detail in her outfit left netizens guessing who or what it was for.
Taylor Swift stole the spotlight at the 2025 Grammys on February 2, dazzling in a stunning mini-dress that instantly caught netizens’ attention. She captivated audiences with elegant touches, including a thigh-high slit and a delicate yet striking accessory.
As Swift posed for cameras, she dazzled in a shimmering “Chiefs red” sequin micro miniby Vivienne Westwood, designed with a corseted bodice and one-shoulder detail.
The “Anti-Hero” hitmaker completed her bold look with matching Casadei strappy red heels, her signature bangs, and a swipe of classic red lipstick, further cementing her status as a red-carpet style icon. She added even more glamour with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, effortlessly tying the look together.But a closer look at her outfit had fans talking. Peeking through the slit of her dress, the 35-year-old singer wore a gold thigh chain adorned with ruby heart stones and a glittery red “T” charm. Swift and her stylist, Joseph Cassell, reportedly designed the piece in collaboration with Schwartz.
Netizens quickly flooded social media with reactions to Swift’s stunning Grammys look, with many zeroing in on the playful details and a potential nod to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
“That subtle little nod to her man. I’m here for it! 🔥❤️🙌,” one fan wrote, while another chimed in, “She’s trying to tell us something. I knew it in my bones.” Another commented, “T for Travis 🔥🔥.”
Others praised her choice, “Stunning and in Chiefs red ❤.” However, not everyone was completely sold on the look, with one user remarking, “I love her, but it’s giving a little ice skater???”
More netizens had mixed reactions to Swift’s Grammys look. “Beautiful woman. Awful dress,” one user bluntly commented. Another speculated about the meaning behind her glittering “T” charm, “I think the double entendre is intended. The T could also stand for a broken cross.”
Not everyone was critical, though. “I don’t like her, but even I can’t denied [sic] that this dress is to die for🔥✨,” one person admitted. Another gushed about her commanding presence, “She looks phenomenally strong and beautiful 😍 😍🔥🔥.”
Whether intentional or not, Swift’s look sparked conversation, adding another standout fashion moment to the 2025 Grammys.
But it wasn’t just her outfit that had people talking—she was also a top contender with six nominations: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Music Video.Beyond the fashion and awards, this year’s Grammys also aimed to make a difference, raising funds for MusiCares Fire Relief to support those affected by the recent wildfires in Greater Los Angeles.
Swift is no stranger to making a statement at the Grammys. At the 2024 ceremony, she donned a white Schiaparelli gown with a thigh-high slit, black opera gloves, and symbolic accessories, including a custom Lorraine Schwartz choker featuring an Art Deco watch and over 300 carats of diamonds.
She also paid tribute to 1920s silent film star Clara Bow—her “The Tortured Poets Department” track namesake—by layering vintage-inspired necklaces, subtly drawing parallels between their public lives.
