Swifties have been on high alert for the release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version) Non-Traditional Celebrity Engagement Rings That Are Hard to Ignore shared a close-up look at the necklace and perhaps the biggest clue of all: Swift’s albums Reputation and Taylor Swift (is part of the Debut) recently A Stylist Told Me This Beachy, Sofia Vergara-Worn Bag Trend Will Be Everywhere This Spring on Spotify. While watching the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Buffalo Bills in Sunday’s AFC championship game, Swift kept the speculation going as she paired her $65,000 game-day attire with a priceless necklace.

The “Blank Space” singer wore $10,000 worth of head-to-toe Louis Vuitton for Sunday’s game, which saw the Chiefs’ secure their spot in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles. In addition to the $5,000 monogrammed black-and-brown printed sweatshirt, Swift wore a $550 black LV beanie and draped a $2,850 chain wallet from the brand over her wrist, according to Swift style expert @TaylorSwiftStyled. A pair of Victorian-inspired ankle boots and Medallion gloves from the designer label finished off her logo-centric look. Swift also turned to the brand for her luxurious jewelry selection, which cost over $54,700. The “Style” singer wore the $3,950 Le Damier de Louis Vuitton ring with a matching $18,500 bracelet from the same collection.

However, @TaylorSwiftStyled argued that she thought that the coin might be carved with a fighting warrior design to symbolize the Chiefs’ fighting spirit, similar to the bronze necklace that she wore to the season opener. 

“Taylor has worn a number of vintage coin necklaces recently, including at a few Chiefs games. What immediately came to my mind was her season opener outfit which was also styled with a vintage, ancient bronze coin necklace,” she wrote. “I imagine that something about it feels like embodying a fighting / warrior mindset to fit in with the ‘go fight win’ of sports.”

The style expert noted that each custom Steven Battelle jewelry design sources priceless antique coins, so it’s hard to exactly decipher the design on Swift’s necklace. However, there is an Ancient Greek snake coin design that’s disappeared from her discography.
