Taylor Swift and the rest of the Chiefs’ WAGs sure know how to make a statement. Instead of showing up in the classic Chiefs red, they all opted for an all-white look at Super Bowl LIX. And there’s more to it than a style change; their color choice was a nod to the game.

Swift, 35, turned heads as she supported her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in a stunning white ensemble. She rocked a white tank Alaïa tan top paired with a Saint Laurent blazer, bejeweled Monday Denim hot pants, and thigh-high Paris Texas boots. The look perfectly blended sporty with chic.

Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, wasn’t about to be outdone. She chose custom Chiefs jeans teamed with a corset and cropped jacket, all in crisp white. Fellow WAG Erica Watson echoed the vibe in a white jumpsuit featuring embellished pants and her husband’s number, 84, splashed in Chiefs red across the chest. And Tavia Hunt, married to Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt, added her twist with white flared trousers, an embellished tank top, and a gold metallic blazer.

 More Than Just a Color Choice

At first glance, these outfit choices were a last-minute change. However, the all-white palette was likely a deliberate homage to the Chiefs’ white jerseys. Since the Philadelphia Eagles wore their traditional green, the Chiefs had to step in with white. By mirroring their partners’ uniforms, these WAGs showed their style savvy and support for the team.

Some fans were surprised, expecting Taylor Swift and her crew to stick with red, which has been her go-to in the past. But the white look might also be a lucky charm. In a twist of fate, the Eagles, who sported their home green jerseys, took home the trophy.

What makes this all-white theme even more fun is how it subtly connects the off-field fashion to what was happening on the field. The white jerseys the Chiefs wore were a uniform choice and part of the game’s unique setup. By matching their outfits to the white jerseys, Swift and the other WAGs sent a straightforward, stylish message of support.

Taylor had fun at the Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans with her close friend and collaborator, Ice Spice and Este Haim. The trio cheered on Swift’s boyfriend, as he unsuccessfully aimed for a third consecutive championship win. 

Swift’s longtime friend Blake Lively was missing from the star-studded entourage, who was seen in 2024 cheering on the Chiefs alongside the singer.

 Sources suggest that Lively’s rumored fallout with actor Justin Baldoni has strained her social circle; as a result, she wasn’t among those invited to join Swift in New Orleans.
