Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attended the Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers game on August 28, 2025, at Arrowhead Stadium, and Swift’s $9,000 (reported via People) outfit was interpreted by many as a ‘bridal era’ statement, with fans pointing to the white top and other subtle details as wedding-themed ‘Easter eggs.’
The white outfit that Swift donned hinted at her highly anticipated wedding ahead. It carried a similar tone to her photos that she shared on @taylorswift/Instagram two days before the outing. For the top, the 14x-Grammy Awards winner wore the Polo Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit V-Neck Sleeveless Vest, currently available for $989 on Farfetch. Notably, the dress that she put on during her proposal was also by the same label, the Striped Silk-Blend Dress. The musician paired it with the cable-knit $1,450 pleated mini skirt by Balenciaga that gave the ‘So High School’ vibes.
Taylor Swift wore ‘The Donna High Boots’, amounting to a whopping $2,680 by Louis Vuitton. This further marked a subtle nod to her future mother-in-law, Donna Kelce. Therefore, in her signature style, Swift has once again captured the internet’s attention by dropping new hints.
