Taylor Swift wore a Kansas City Chiefs jacket from a sportswear collection with a familiar name for her second visit to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium to watch Travis Kelce play Thursday night.

Did the Chiefs tight end buy the jacket as a gift for her?

Swift paired a short black leather skirt and black ankle boots with a vintage-style throwback windbreaker from the new WEAR collection from sportscaster Erin Andrews.

It zips up the front, but Swift has perfected a sexy way to wear sportswear — off one shoulder to show off a tank top underneath.

The $100 jacket is currently sold out on chiefs.com. Cosmopolitan was quick to tell its readers where to grab the jacket before it sells out on other sites, including from fanatics.com.

“Taylor Swift showed up at the Chiefs vs. Broncos game tonight, arriving solo (she sat with Travis Kelce’s mom Donna!) and wearing a black and red striped Chiefs jacket,” Cosmopolitan wrote. “She paired the look with a black tank, and obviously we need to own all parts of it immediately.”

There is speculation that Kelce might have given the jacket to Swift.

Online reports popped up on Thursday suggesting that Kelce himself chose a Chiefs jacket — possibly this one? — for Swift at Fetch, a vintage clothing store in the West Bottoms. The owners did not immediately return The Star’s request for comment.

According to Deuxmoi, a curator of unsubstantiated pop culture news, the store closed last Friday so Kelce could shop, the day after celebrating his 34th birthday. He bought a vintage Chiefs jacket and a Taylor Swift prayer candle. (Reports suggested he bought a vintage Starter jacket.)

The report quoted the store’s owners as saying, “he was very nice and seemed gitty,” which we assume means “giddy.”

The store published the gossip site’s report on its Instagram stories.

Andrews has a personal connection to the relationship the world is watching unfold.

In August, she and sports commentator Charissa Thompson, who co-host a podcast, urged Swift to go on a date with “our friend Travis. He is fantastic.

Kelce thanked them for the endorsement, writing on their Instagram post: “You two are something else!! I owe you big time!!”
