Halloween 2023 is going to be one for the books! Not only are Barbie costumes taking center stage given the movie’s box office success, but it’s looking like Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce are going to be the inspiration for many couples’ costumes. In case you didn’t know, Swift and Kelce have been the most talked about celebrities ever since the athlete tried to give the singer a friendship bracelet with his number on it during her Eras Tour concert in July 2023. On Sept. 24, Swift was spotted attending the Kansas City Chiefs game and was seen leaving with the athlete, which ultimately fueled romance rumors.
On Sept. 29, Kelce addressed the game night with Swift on his podcast New Heights with his brother, Philadelphia Eagles corner Jason Kelce. Not only did he share fun details about that night, which he “sure as hell enjoyed,” Kelce also shouted out Swift for being such a big supporter. Though Swift has yet to address romance rumors surrounding her and Kelce, fans are convinced something is going on between these A-listers, especially after she was spotted with friends at the Kansas City Chiefs game against the New York Jets on Oct. 1.
Given the major publicity surrounding this potential new couple, Swift and Kelce are already inspiring incredibly popular costumes for couples this Halloween season. Here are three Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce costume ideas you can easily create for Halloween 2023.
1. “Lover” & The Kansas City Chief
Amid the hype surrounding Swift and Kelce, a resurfaced photo of an Oklahoma couple dressed up as the A-listers in 2020 went viral on social media. In the photo, a woman named Makayla Stephens was dressed up as Swift’s “Lover” album cover — complete with a pink top, white jeans, and a sparkling pink heart around her eye — while her husband, Nick, wore Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs jersey. “I don’t know any world in which Taylor Swift + Travis Kelce would be in the same room together,” she captioned the Instagram post.“But, apparently in this one they’re married?”
On Sept. 18, Stephens detailed how she got the idea for this couples costume, which was sort of a last-minute thing, in a TikTok video. “My husband has always been a huge Kansas City Chiefs fan,” Makayla said, adding, “I have always been a huge Taylor Swift fan.”
Stephens’ video quickly went viral, with many crediting her for “manifesting” Swift and Kelce’s alleged relationship. If you want an easy look that will be a hit this Halloween, try going with this couples costume.
2. Swift’s Game Outfit & Kelce’s Uniform
Now, this next costume might take some luck to put together but it’s one that is definitely possible to recreate.
If you saw Swift at Kelce’s game on Sept. 24, then you most likely caught a sight of her wearing a white shirt, black shorts, and a Chiefs zip-up windbreaker jacket. The jacket was available on Fanatics for $89, but sold out within minutes after the singer was spotted wearing it.
But luckily, there are other options out there, including this Kansas City Chiefs hoodie. As for Kelce, you can purchase his jersey from Fanatics, or create your own personalized jersey, which is the site’s most popular option!
3. Swift’s ‘Reputation (TV)’ Easter Egg At The Chiefs Game
Swift’s look during the Kansas City Chiefs game on Oct. 1 was very “Reputation (Taylor’s Version),” if you ask me. The singer’s outfit consisted of a black long-sleeved shirt, a black leather jacket, sheer black tights, black knee-high boots, and light-washed denim shorts that had blinged-out letters spelling “Area” hanging across a cutout just beneath the waistband.
This look would be very easy to recreate because there’s a chance you have all of these items in your closet already (maybe not the blinged-out shorts since they retail for $528 and are currently out of stock). So, get into your Reputation Era by recreating this look — and catch yourself a Kelce, if you can.
