She wears high heels, I wear sneakers.
While cheering on Travis Kelce at the Kansas City Chiefs game on Sunday, Taylor Swift dressed the part in a bright red team windbreaker — plus matching sneakers in the bold shade, famously among her own go-to hues.
And while the Jacquie Aiche Diamond Crescent Earrings ($1,185) and Louis Vuitton Camera Bag ($3,450) she sported will run you over $1,000 each, her basketball-inspired shoes won’t.
She seemingly selected a pair of black, red and white New Balance 550 Leather and Mesh Sneakers ($150) for the occasion.

It’s hardly new to spot stars wearing New Balance, as Swift’s low-tops are also a longtime favorite of stars like Sofia Richie, Kaia Gerber, Storm Reid and Emily Ratajkowski — the latter of whom favors the brand’s buzzy collaboration with Aimé Leon Dore.
Adele also counts the kicks as a game-day must-have, as she wore her boyfriend Rich Paul’s collaboration with the company while sitting courtside at the Lakers game this year.
In addition to Swift’s pick, the shoes are sold in a wide range of colorways, including a more subtle shade of red ($110), dark green ($200), and classic white ($110).
New Balance wasn’t the only stylish element of Swift’s look, as she also selected a pair of Ksubi cutoffs — while they’re sold out in her exact black wash, the brand’s vintage blue Rollin Out Hazy Shorts ($190) are still in stock — and capped off the look with her go-to Ralph Lauren cap ($50).
For his part, Kelce went for a meaningful outfit at Arrowhead Stadium too, leaving the locker room in the aptly named 1989 Bedroom Painting Denim Jacket ($295) and Pants ($285) from KidSuper Studios, seemingly referencing the pop star’s upcoming “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” album.
The pair’s rumored romance all started with a statement-making style of a different kind, as Kelce attempted to give Swift his number on a friendship bracelet at the Eras Tour in July.
As for whether the pair could be “End Game”? While dating rumors began circulating in early September, the pair were spotted together for the first time while leaving the Chiefs game on Sunday.
