In a recent appearance at the Chiefs-Ravens game in Baltimore, Maryland, Taylor Swift stirred speculation among fans as she showcased a hairstyle reminiscent of her 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour. The 34-year-old singer, accompanying boyfriend Travis Kelce, sported long curly hair with bangs, prompting many to draw connections to her earlier iconic look.
Swift enthusiasts quickly noticed the resemblance and pondered whether this choice was a subtle hint regarding a potential re-release of her 2017 album, “Reputation.” The Grammy-winning artist has previously re-released her albums, a trend that has heightened anticipation among fans for a revamped edition of “Reputation.”
Adding to the intrigue, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce appeared to coordinate their game-day attire, both opting for stylish black coats. Fans pointed out similarities in their accessories, with attention drawn to a silver chain worn by Kelce reminiscent of the one featured on the “Reputation” album cover.
The connection was reinforced when a clip of Travis Kelce arriving at the stadium was shared by the athlete’s team, accompanied by a caption that quoted lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song “…Ready For It?” The caption read, ‘Knew he was a Killa first time that we saw him,’ echoing Swift’s original lyrics, ‘Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him.’
Swift’s loyal fan base, known as Swifties, wasted no time in expressing their excitement and speculations on social media. Some fans suggested that the singer might be dropping hints about an imminent release of “Reputation (Taylor’s Version).”
Commenting on Taylor’s hairstyle, one fan wrote, ‘OH THAT IS REPUTATION HAIR IF I EVER SAW IT!!’ Others playfully noted the apparent coordination of Travis Kelce’s outfit, joking about Taylor getting him to wear a ‘Rep coded’ ensemble.
Beneath her chic black coat, Taylor Swift donned a $695 red cashmere sweater from Gigi Hadid’s knitwear label, Guest in Residence. Completing her look, she wore a ring featuring a charm resembling Kelce’s jersey with the number ’87’ and a bracelet with the initials ‘TNT,’ symbolizing ‘Taylor and Travis.’
Swifties have been abuzz with speculation since October, eagerly awaiting any announcements regarding Taylor Swift’s fifth ‘Taylor’s Version’ album. The artist’s strategic nods to her past eras continue to fuel anticipation and excitement among her dedicated fan base.
