Users Say Taylor Swift 'Might Be Wearing a Wig' at the Chiefs vs. Houston Texans Game – Photos

The superstar, who concluded her record-breaking Eras Tour a few weeks ago, arrived at a chilly Arrowhead Stadium with her parents, minutes before the games' kickoff.

At the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Houston Texans game held on December 21, 2024, fans couldn't help but focus on Taylor Swift's hair, even with her bucket hat on. Many speculated whether she might be wearing a wig, as her hair looked noticeably different and absolutely fabulous.

The "Love Story" singer donned a cozy red jacket, a black bucket hat over her loose hair, and carried a red clutch while walking through the red tunnel at Arrowhead Stadium. Her parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, followed closely behind with her bodyguards.

During this appearance, Swift's hairstyle sparked fan speculation, particularly regarding its changes and the enhanced appeal it brought. One curious fan asked, "Is tays [sic] hair different?" Another shared their puzzlement, "I notice something is different!!! I can't quite figure it out."

Another observer added to the speculations, "Is that a wig or extensions?" One more fan chimed in, "It was much thinner and flatter and darker blond during the Eras Tour. Def different from this. That would be an impressive transformation if this was her real hair 👍🏻"

Fans continued to dissect the details, "Lex thought she might be wearing a wig," while another noted, "It looked super blonde from the front angle." A hairstylist weighed in, "It's either lighter or extensions. As a hair stylist, I noticed right away. We need more pictures soon to compare."

Other fans had their theories, too, with one person speculating, "I think she got layers and some highlights! Very pretty."

One fan humorously penned, "😂I think there's some extensions happening for sure but it's definitely not solid platinum blonde. There's highlights and lowlights. She hasn't been solid platinum blonde since circa the 2016 Met Gala when she and Tom Hiddleston danced together and we got Getaway Car from that fling🙌🏼."

Excitement over the potential change grew. One fan cheered, "So happy Taylor has cut and dyed her hair all nice and different! It looks SO cute! And I bet it’s SO refreshing after committing to the same style for the tour over 2 years. Fresh look for a new era/ chapter in her life 🤩"

Taylor Swift has joked about the changes in her hair over the years, sharing how it has evolved. She once reflected, "I learned that your hair can completely change texture. From birth, I had the curliest hair and now it is STRAIGHT. It's the straight hair I wished for every day in junior high. But just as I was coming to terms with loving my curls, they've left me. Please pray for their safe return."

The "Daylight" singer's appearance, which sparked online discussions about her hair, was one of many of the Kansas City Chiefs games she has attended this season. The singer primarily attended Chiefs at home games this year, to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who plays for the team.

In this match, the Chiefs secured a 27-19 victory over the Texans, maintaining their grip on the AFC's top seed and extending their NFL record to 16 straight one-score wins.

Just as Swift has been a steadfast supporter of Kelce, the NFL star reciprocates in kind. On December 18, the pop sensation and her football star beau danced the night away at an Eras-themed surprise party that the Chiefs tight end planned for his beloved. Reportedly, the star-studded celebration marked the end of the musical star's incredibly successful and record-breaking $2 billion Eras Tour.

Their party was a spectacle of glitz and style, with Swift commanding attention in a black Balmain halterneck minidress priced at approximately $3,991.07 (£3,190).

The intricately designed piece featured metallic threading and a sweetheart neckline, exuding elegance and sophistication.

Silver sequins and crystals traced a line down the center, and the dress's flared skirt and stretch-knit fabric added a playful yet refined touch. Swift paired her ensemble with long diamond earrings, delicate diamond rings, and a pink beaded friendship bracelet — a signature accessory from her Eras Tour.

Her iconic red lipstick, cat-eye makeup, and chic ponytail completed the look. The event's dress code embraced the spirit of the Eras Tour, with guests showcasing outfits inspired by the "Bad Blood" singer's musical journey.

Kelce wore a version of the iconic "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" costume he debuted onstage during Swift's London Eras Tour show in June. The sleek black suit with tails evoked a timeless elegance, punctuated by details that tied perfectly into the evening's celebratory theme.

Swift's gal pal Brittany Mahomes, glowing in her pregnancy, donned a silver fringe minidress paired with bedazzled cowboy boots, a clear nod to Swift's "Fearless" era. Meanwhile, her footballer husband Patrick Mahomes mirrored Kelce's ensemble.

In a playful homage to the "Reputation" album, Ashley Avignone accessorized her look with a replica reptile draped around her neck, while Lyndsay Bell embraced the "Lover" era with a pink outfit.

Kelce's doting mom Donna Kelce joined in on the fun, too. She dazzled in a sparkly maroon top and pants as she set the dancefloor ablaze alongside fellow revelers.

The venue itself reflected the evening's theme, with details such as a large illuminated "ERA" sign, friendship bracelets, and lit-up accessories scattered across tables. Additionally, guests indulged in a curated themed drink menu.

Photos also showed Kelce with a microphone in his hand, making a heartfelt speech, which added a personal touch to an evening that celebrated Swift's monumental success.

Fans were quick to dissect the snapshots from Swift's surprise party, sparking a frenzy of speculation online. Many zeroed in on one particular detail — her ring finger.

"she straight up has her ring finger blurred who else is calling a Travis Taylor secret engagement [sic]??" penned someone on X, who shared close-up photos of the star holding her drink.

Another added, "Is it me or does it seem like Taylor is going out of her way to not show her ring finger on [her] right hand?"

Theories about a possible engagement continued to gain momentum, with yet another observer commenting, "pretty sure Taylor Swift is engaged 💍 so happy for her travis seems to really adore her & respect her career the queen of romance songs deserves a happily ever after [sic] 🥰."

"OK, but does anyone else feel like Taylor's ring finger was edited in every photo that's come out from this party 🤨👀," wondered a netizen, while a spectator confidently declared, "oh so Taylor is ENGAGED engaged huh [sic]."

Someone else questioned, "Is that a ring on THAT finger??? Is she showing us something???" "Why does Tay's ring finger look blurred?? 😳 🤔," pondered one user. Another echoed, "Is it me or is Taylor Swift ring finger blurred. [sic] Zoom in the photo it's blurred. She's engaged 💍🤍?!?"

Others celebrated the relationship between the pop star and the football player with heartfelt remarks. "no man has ever loved taylor swift the way travis kelce loves taylor swift [sic]," asserted one admirer, while another implored, "Put a ring on that woman's hand, Travis! 💍."

Responding to the comment, an Instagrammer replied, "I think it's already there - zoom in on the right finger. It's been blurred."

With a loving boyfriend who threw her a party and an incredibly successful career, Swift must be on cloud nine, especially after her triumphant Eras Tour, which featured a series of record-breaking shows.

During her final "Lover" speech of the tour, Swift reflected on the monumental journey. "We have toured the entire world ... we have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I've ever done in my entire life," she shared, as captured in a fan video posted on X.

The numbers behind the Eras Tour underline its historic significance. According to The New York Times, the tour sold a staggering $2,077,618,725 in tickets — a feat that represents double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.

Swift's production company, Taylor Swift Touring, also reported that over 10 million fans attended the shows, with the final tally reaching 10,168,008 concertgoers.

As Swift, who recently turned 35, takes a well-deserved break and fans continue to speculate about her future with Kelce, one thing is certain: The pop icon is concluding 2024 on a high note, both personally and professionally.
