Giddy up! Taylor Swift returns to Arrowhead in cowboy boots, sits with two mamas

First the bad news. That mouth-watering, leather Chiefs jacket that Taylor Swift wore to the Monday Night Football game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium?

You can’t get it anymore.

On the bright side, the cowboy boots she wore with her country-fried chic look are still available, if $2,195 for Louboutin Santia pointed-toe, knee-high boots are in your price range.

Swift wore another pair of head-turning boots to Arrowhead as she returned to Chiefs Kingdom, where she hadn’t been seen in a few weeks as she wrapped up the U.S. leg of her Eras Tour.

She played the tour’s last concert in the United States in Indianapolis on Sunday, and was seen leaving Indiana earlier Monday headed for Kansas City.

Boyfriend and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce surprised fans by attending Night 2 of the Indianapolis stand on Saturday. He sat with Swift’s mother, Andrea Swift, at the concert.

On Monday’s game, it didn’t take TV cameras long to find Swift sitting in a suite between her mom and Donna Kelce, Travis’ mother.

On a cool, rainy night, Swift let her naturally curly hair just do its thing, which suited her country Barbie outfit.

“When Taylor first made waves at Arrowhead Stadium last fall she spent her first season as a sports spectator developing a recognizable game day uniform,” Swift style watcher Sarah Chapelle wrote Monday after seeing Swift’s game outfit.

Chapelle was recently in Kansas City touring with her new book, “Taylor Swift Style.”

“Like any uniform, it was one that centered on crafting style pillars that were identifiable, easily repeatable, and that underscored her overall brand as a relatable public figure while also feeling distinctly separate enough from her other style ‘genres.’

“Highlighting local and woman-owned businesses diffused her gigantic spotlight onto deserving vendors that could use a lift.

“Lastly, incorporating vintage Chiefs merchandise allowed her to be a loud and proud fan without funneling funds into bankable NFL wares and gives a +1 to the trend of shopping sustainably by giving love to pieces that already exist in the world.

“Here, we see that third pillar of vintage on display in a very covetable oversized jacket.”

Swift wore the jacket over a scoop-necked black shirt and black shorts. She glammed up the look with Chanel’s Quilted Cutout Plate Duble Chain Necklace ($4,475) and Louise PM earrings ($575) by Louis Vuitton, Chapelle reported.

She brought back a black Dior saddle bag ($4,400) she toted around New York City last month, according to Chapelle.

A saddle bag with cowboy boots. It made sense.

“Assessing things on the surface, I think this is one of her best NFL showings,” Chapelle declared.

Swift is on a break from her tour until she kicks off the last leg with shows in Toronto and Vancouver beginning Nov. 14 and ending on Dec. 8, five days before her birthday on Dec. 13.
