I study Taylor Swift’s game day outfits with the same rigor NFL defensive coordinators study quarterbacks’ play calls. Name a Kansas City Chiefs game, and I can tell you exactly what Swift wore to cheer on #87: a red Stella McCartney teddy coat during the Chiefs-Green Bay Packers game last December, a Travis Kelce-coded Mejuri ring during the AFC Championship game in February, and a denim Versace corset for the 2024 season opener earlier this month.
More recently on September 15, during the Chiefs’ home game against the Cincinnati Bengals, one Swift-worn item, in particular, caught my eye: a $118 Melinda Maria necklace, which looks way more expensive than its accessible price tag. Accented with six simulated diamonds and a sleek padlock clasp, the Cuban chain necklace seamlessly complemented Swift’s designer accessories, including a Louis Vuitton Coussin MM handbag and My LV chain earrings. Additionally, the singer layered her Melinda Maria piece with a $120 Vitaly Shimmer Necklace, which has sold out twice in the past few months and is now available for preorder.
True to form, Swift’s game day outfit went viral before the end of the first quarter. The pop star reportedly wore over $40,000 worth of jewelry to the season opener, so Swifties were thrilled to see their relatable queen sporting some affordably-priced baubles. Fans couldn’t get enough of her vintage oversized Kansas City Chiefs graphic tee and thigh-high Giuseppe Zanotti boots, either.
Swift’s Melinda Maria Julian Loves necklace—and the coordinating Julian Loves bracelet ($98)—are perfect for elevating the look of any Eras Tour friendship bracelets. The necklace is offered in sterling silver and gold-plated brass finishes, as well 16-inch and 18-inch options for easy layering.
There’s no telling how long supplies will last, so don’t wait to shop this coveted Swift-approved bauble before it inevitably sells out. And while you’re at it, check out a few more Swift-worn styles worth adding to your jewelry collection, below.
