Taylor Swift's 2025 Grammys Look: Romantic References to Her Lyrics

From her eye-catching red Vivienne Westwood mini dress to the striking Lorraine Schwartz "T" thigh chain, Taylor Swift's outfit at the 2025 Grammys held several romantic nods to her song lyrics.

On February 2, the 35-year-old "Cruel Summer" singer dazzled on the red carpet. Her daring ensemble celebrated the moment and paid homage to her NFL boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The look cleverly integrated hidden details nodding at her diverse albums.

The bold red hue of Swift's micro Vivienne Westwood corset dress seemed to reference Red, an album she celebrated in 2021 with a re-recording. As she graced the star-studded event, one could almost hear the catchy lyrics, "Loving him was red," replaying in their minds.

Additionally, her Lorraine Schwartz gemstones reflected themes from her 2022 hit "Maroon." The lyrics, "I feel you no matter what, the rubies that I gave up," resonated through Swift's choice of jewelry.

Swift's unique ruby "T" thigh chain accessory, designed by her stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer in partnership with Lorraine Schwartz, related to both her styling history and musical lyrics. This accessory parallels "Call It What You Want" from Reputation, where she symbolizes love with: "I want to wear his initial on a chain ‘round my neck."

Fans monitoring the development of Kelce and Swift’s romance since their public debut in 2023 found humor in the accessory, comparing it to the sweet connection between Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez from High School Musical. This nostalgia affirmed Swift's penchant for playful ties to popular culture.

The letter "T" could also signify her song "Guilty as Sin?" from The Tortured Poets Department. In this piece, she musically ponders, "What if he's written 'mine' on my upper thigh/ Only in my mind?" This creates an intricate layer, suggesting Swift's fondness for intertwining her life with her music.

The absence of Travis at the Grammys felt notable, as the Chiefs prepared for the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9. Swift’s classic glam included her signature red lipstick. Remembered through her song "Style," Swift sings, "I got that red lip classic thing that you like." Lyrics from "End Game," "Wildest Dreams," "Blank Space," and "I Did Something Bad" also reference her standout makeup look.

Though her attire didn’t hint at a major album announcement like last year, fans continue to eagerly anticipate new music. Swift's six nominations this year include record of the year, song of the year, and best music video for "Fortnight." Additionally, The Tortured Poet Department competed for album of the year and best pop vocal album. Her collaboration with Gracie Abrams, "Us," is up for best pop duo/group performance.
