Watch: Grammys 2025: Why Fans Think Taylor Swift’s Sexy Thigh Chain Is a Nod to Travis Kelce

When it comes to Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift quite literally wrote mine on her upper thigh.

Best believe the pop superstar was still bejeweled as she walked the 2025 Grammys red carpet at Crypto.com Arena Feb. 2 wearing a sequined red custom Vivienne Westwood one-shoulder minidress. But it wasn't her dress itself that had fans talking. (See all the stars on the red carpet.)

While Travis didn't join her on the red carpet—he and the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl Feb. 9—Taylor proved he was the king of her heart from afar. In addition to rocking Chiefs red, Taylor, in Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry, sported a chain on her upper thigh featuring a single letter: "T." For Travis, of course. And fans were quick to note the subtle display with one noting, "I can't cope."

Wnd while it’s been a busy fortnight for Taylor as she’s played cheer captain to her boyfriend, she took center stage at the Grammys—where she could break her own record with a fifth Album of the Year win for The Tortured Poets Department.

The top award is just one of the six the 14-time Grammy winner is up for at the Trevor Noah-hosted event, including Best Pop Vocal Album, as well as Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Music Video for her “Fortnight” collab with Post Malone and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Us” with Gracie Abrams.

And for Taylor, who announced The Tortured Poets Department at the 2024 Grammys, seeing fans—who are awaiting the rerecords of her self-titled album and Reputation—resonate with her new music is something out of her wildest dreams.

“You guys have just been so wonderful about digging into this album and really understanding where I was coming from,” she told fans during a November stop on her Eras Tour. “You made it by far the debut week I’ve ever had with an album and you kept that album at number one for nearly four months.”

 “The most recent thing that you did,” Taylor continued. “Because everything that happens is a reflection of the passion you show—is you guys got this album nominated for six Grammys. It’s so wonderful. So thank you.”
