“Jacket ‘round my shoulders is yours?”
A lifelong Swiftie claims Taylor Swift’s stylist purchased her vintage Kansas City Chiefs bomber online and then gave it to the pop star for Monday’s match-up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“Y’all, Taylor Swift was wearing my old jacket at the Chiefs game tonight,” a user by the name of Court said in a TikTok Tuesday.
Swift arrived at Arrowhead Stadium wearing a black leather varsity jacket with red and yellow details on the sleeves. The coat featured several large arrowhead logos and had “Chiefs” emblazoned on the back.
After photos of the “Fortnight” singer at the game went viral, Court’s mom commented on how “familiar” it looked — prompting them to do some digging.
“And so I was like, ‘Did we sell that on eBay?’” she pondered. “So I checked with my dad and he was like, ‘Yeah isn’t that the one that went out to California?’”
Although Court didn’t believe him at first, they went back and checked all of their eBay sales, confirming the jacket was shipped out to Los Angeles.
While Swift obviously didn’t purchase the coat under her own name, Court claimed the singer’s stylist, Joseph Cassell Falconer, was listed on the order form.
“I’m a longtime Swiftie — I’m talking like almost 20 years — and even I don’t know the name of her stylist and that is who bought the jacket,” she shared.
Court included a photo of the listing, which shows a picture of a near-identical coat to the one Swift wore. Although she blurred out the name of the buyer, the jacket was listed for $169.
After examining photos of Swift’s jacket, Court noticed it seemed to have the same minor flaws as her old coat.
“So, we checked and double checked and not only is it the exact same jacket, but also in the pictures that we had listed on eBay, you can kind of see, like, a bend in it and you can see that exact same bend in the picture of her wearing it,” she explained. “I can’t make this up.”
Court said he is searching for old photos of herself in the coat to prove it’s the same one — but in the meantime, she couldn’t wait to share the possible connection.
“I am freaking out,” she said. “So thank you to Taylor’s stylists for buying the jacket. As a lifelong Chiefs fan and a ‘Super Swiftie,’ this is the coolest thing to ever happen to me!”
Swift has been known to get most of her Chiefs attire from local vintage shops in Kansas City, all of which sell similar vintage-style jackets.
The 14-time Grammy winner frequently wears pieces from Westside Storey, from her ’90s-era Chiefs crewneck to an oversized T-shirt dress from the ’50s.
Swift usually pairs her curated vintage items with pricier designer pieces — like the knee-high Christian Louboutin cowboy boots ($2,195), stunning vintage Chanel necklace and Dior Saddle bag ($4,400) she wore Monday night.
The “Cruel Summer” singer watched the game alongside boyfriend Travis Kelce’s parents, her mom, Andrea, brother, Austin, and pal Brittany Mahomes, who donned a denim set.
The two WAGS went through a mix of emotions during the game, from Patrick Mahomes getting injured to a game-winning overtime touchdown.
