Is Taylor Swift teasing fans with her latest fashion accessory?

For the Kansas City Chiefs game in Missouri on Sunday, Jan. 26, the pop songstress, 35, wore what appeared to be a Steven Battelle-designed 18K gold Ancient Greek coin pendant necklace with a diamond accent, according to fashion pro and Swift expert Sarah Chapelle.

Though fans on X thought the singer might be pointing at her re-recorded album, Reputation (Taylor's Version), with the accessory, believing that the coin had intertwining snakes on it like the one seen for sale here on 1stDibs for $3,100, each of Batelle's necklaces is one of a kind, which means Swift's must be a different piece!

Swift's latest accessory for the AFC championship game was in line with another necklace she wore at the beginning of the season: an antique coin for the Chiefs' first game, where the team also took home a victory against the Ravens.

Swift supported her boyfriend Travis Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium by pairing the necklace with an outfit inspired by the Chiefs colors.

She teamed red tights with a black pleated miniskirt, a $5,000 Louis Vuitton Monogram Jacquard Knit Jacket and matching LV Spark Beanie ($550), a black Louis Vuitton chain wallet ($2,850) and Louis Vuitton Star Trail ankle boots ($1,760).

Swift's latest look comes after she dropped several apparent Easter eggs in recent months hinting at the release of Reputation (Taylor's Version) through snake emblems and goth aesthetics.

During her record-breaking Eras Tour in Miami in October, Swift debuted a new version of her snake catsuit by Roberto Cavalli for the Reputation set that also featured intertwining snakes across the front.

On Oct. 12, 2024, the “...Are You Ready For It?” singer donned another look seemingly referring to her Reputation era as she carried a Roberto Cavalli monogram shoulder bag that displayed a gold "R" and "C" entwined with snakes, along with a pair of Versace Medusa Buckle platform mules.
