Taylor Swift is never just watching a football game. She’s serving looks, dropping Easter eggs and reminding us that being a supportive WAG can, in fact, be a full-time fashion moment. And yes, her latest Chiefs game appearance is yet another reminder that sometimes the smallest accessories have the biggest (and cutest) meaning.
While Taylor’s game-day style has given me plenty to obsess over, it’s her iconic ’87 necklace that continues to have us Swifties in our shopping era. The dainty gold number necklace is a subtle but seriously cute nod to Travis Kelce, and I’ve found a more affordable way to get the look (scroll down!).
Why Does Taylor Wear a ’87 Necklace?
If you’ve been following Taylor and Travis’ love story, you already know that the number 87 is basically part of their relationship lore.
It’s Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs jersey number, and Taylor has turned it into one of her go-to ways of showing support for her man.
The necklace first caught major attention when Taylor wore the custom diamond ’87 pendant to the 2024 Super Bowl. Paired with her black corset, embellished jeans and red Chiefs jacket, it was the ultimate subtle-but-not-so-subtle tribute to Travis.
The original is Stephanie Gottlieb’s custom Varsity Pendant Necklace, a 14-karat gold piece featuring a diamond-encrusted ’87 pendant. It’s a seriously special piece of jewelry, but its designer price tag makes it more of a dream wishlist item for most of us.
Where to Get a Taylor Swift ’87 Necklace Dupe
Want to channel Taylor’s game-day jewelry without spending thousands? I found an Amazon alternative that’s giving all the Travis-coded vibes… and it costs just $14!
The LOXUAKAM Gold Number Necklace features an 18K gold-plated finish and a delicate number pendant, making it an affordable way to recreate Taylor’s popular accessory.
It’s not the diamond-encrusted Stephanie Gottlieb original, but for just $14, it’s a cute alternative if you’re after that same personalized, gold-jewelry aesthetic. Plus, if you’re shopping for a Swiftie, it makes the perfect Taylor Swift-inspired gift — especially for anyone who has been following her and Travis’ love story.
What Else Taylor Wore
Taylor Swift’s latest Chiefs game outfit was giving preppy girl meets football WAG. The best-selling singer stepped out in a red-and-pink striped Tommy Hilfiger Slim Fit Cable Knit Sweater Polo, bringing a fresh, playful twist to her usual Chiefs-friendly color palette. The red stripe was the perfect nod to her husband‘s team, while the polo collar added that effortlessly polished, collegiate-inspired vibe.
The sweater was reportedly listed for around $80 before selling out after Taylor’s appearance. Because, of course, the Swiftie effect is REAL.
And with Karlie Kloss sitting beside her in the suite, the whole game-day moment was giving us fashion, friendship and a little pop culture history all at once.
