We don't know about you, but we're currently in our football era — and it's all thanks to Taylor Swift. Ever since the pop superstar made her surprise appearance at that fateful Sunday Night Football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears back in September, we've found ourselves hyper-focused on the football season more than ever before. Sure, the games themselves have been entertaining — when you've got generational talents (and TikTok-loved players) like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and newly minted Skims model Nick Bosa all in the league, you can bet some pretty high-stakes showdowns will take place. But perhaps even better than who's playing on the field is who's showing up and showing out in the stands — especially when the talent is Ms. Swift herself.
With the Chiefs now set to take on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday, Feb. 11th, NFL fans (and Swifties alike) have even more to get excited about. The game will feature some of the league's most prominent stars, including none other than Swift's boyfriend, two-time Super Bowl-winner and tight end Travis Kelce. While it's yet to be confirmed whether or not the pop star will attend the big game (per her touring schedule, she'll be in Tokyo for much of that weekend after the Eras Tour picks back up on its international leg), many are hoping that Swift will still be able to make it back in time for the showdown.
The musician's presence has become a fixture at NFL games this season. From creating touchdown-celebration handshakes with Brittany Mahomes to chatting up Donna Kelce with a vodka cranberry cocktail in hand, Swift appears to be leaning all the way into her WAG era — and inspiring a whole new legion of fans to become just as obsessed with football as she is (or at least just tune in to see what she's wearing). Whether you're a dedicated NFL viewer looking to embrace the Swift x NFL crossover or simply a loyal Swiftie hoping to love the sport just as much as the singer, you can conquer the Super Bowl in style with these game-day outfits — all of which are inspired by Swift's outfits, no less.
From logo sweaters with "NFL (Taylor's Version)" printed across the front to cool windbreaker jackets and other stylish football outfits that play into this iconic crossover between sports and pop culture, here's what to wear to watch football games with a Swiftie-inspired twist. These pieces are perfect for even the most casual viewers, and you can wear them long after the Super Bowl is over, too.

A Football Sweatshirt
Taylor's Version Football Sweatshirt ($30)
Love it or hate it, Swift's star power is so massive, it's literally infiltrated the NFL in its entirety. Every broadcast pans over to her regularly to capture her reactions, and even sports commentators can't help but squeeze her song lyrics into their game-day recaps. We're truly living in the NFL (Taylor's Version) era.

A Funny T-Shirt
"Go Taylor's Boyfriend" Football Fan 87 T-Shirt ($17)
Loving him was (Chiefs) red, and with this funny team T-shirt, you can put your love for Swift and her beau on full display. The unisex tee features the Kansas City Chiefs' iconic red and gold coloring with a cheeky print to match.

A Commemorative Sweater
"Karma Is the Guy on the Chiefs" Comfort Sweatshirt ($12, originally $24)
When Swift said that her and karma "really do vibe like that," she wasn't kidding. After adorably switching the lyrics while performing "Karma" at a show in Argentina (and in front of Kelce no less), Chiefs fans and Swifties alike have made "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs" an unofficial chant. Now, you can commemorate the moment even more with this cozy sweatshirt.

A Customizable Friendship Bracelet
Little Words Project Custom Waterproof Gold Bracelet ($32)
Much of Kelce and Swift's love story seems to revolve around friendship bracelets — or rather the one that the football star attempted to (read: maybe succeeded?) give to the singer at her Kansas City stop back in July. Since then, Swift herself has been spotted wearing cute friendship bracelets, including one with Kelce's jersey number on it.

A Themed Sweatshirt
"Go Taylor's Boyfriend" Sweatshirt ($8, originally $17)
If you are new to football and admittedly more enthralled with the love story brewing between Kelce and Swift than the actual game (sorry dads, Brads, and Chads!), consider making your feelings clear with this funny graphic sweatshirt from Etsy that prominently reads "Go Taylor's Boyfriend" right across the front.

A Crewneck Sweatshirt
"'Tis the Damn Season" Crewneck Sweatshirt ($8, originally $16)
Many of Swift's songs and lyrics have taken on a whole new meaning since she struck up a romance with her tight end boyfriend — including her soft rock-sounding hit on "Evermore" titled "'Tis the Damn Season." We thought this was about the holidays all along, but hey — who says it can't work for football season, too?

A Kansas City Chiefs Shirt
"In My Chiefs Era" Shirt ($25, originally $50)
OK, so maybe you're not quite ready to declare yourself a bona-fide Kansas City Chiefs fan just yet — we totally get it. In the meantime, you can still show your support for Swift's new favorite football team with this bold sweatshirt.

A Taylor Swift-Approved Lipstick
MAC Ruby Woo Matte Lipstick ($23)
Nothing pays homage to Taylor quite like a statement red lip, and this vibrant shade from MAC is reportedly one of her favorites — she even detailed her love for the lipstick in an interview with People back in 2015. Swift's affinity with red lips has been well-documented throughout her career, as well as at the many NFL games she's attended. After she joined Kelce on the field following his AFC Championship win, their PDA-ensued and Twitter was abuzz speculating what smudge-proof lipstick she was wearing.

An Eras Tour Sweatshirt Dupe
Travis Kelce x The Eras Tour Sweatshirt ($34)
If you weren't able to get your hands on an Eras Tour sweatshirt or that famed blue crewneck from one of her shows, this Kelce-inspired top might be the next best alternative. The sweatshirt plays off of the multicolored Eras Tour logo and swaps all images of the superstar musician with that of the tight end.
