Every detail of Taylor Swift’s $495 game-day glam

Marking her first public performance since December 2024, vocalist Taylor Swift opted for an intimate crowd of 1,200 rather than her usual stadium-sized audience. For her one-song surprise set, she chose a $495 recycled denim dress from EB Denim, a Los Angeles-based label she frequently favors. The sold-out little black dress featured a corset-inspired bodice and pleated mini skirt, nodding to two of Swift’s signature style elements that fans have long associated with her on-stage persona.

To complement the eco-chic silhouette, the songstress wore $1,990 knee-high stilettos by Versace, identical to the pair she sported at a December 2024 Kansas City Chiefs appearance. Jewelry selections included a Steven Battelle pendant necklace, gold hoops, and Maria Tash diamond studs valued at $8,200. Following her performance, Taylor Swift was seen holding Louis Vuitton’s Side Trunk bag in black, accented with gold hardware, a $4,000 finishing touch that solidified her coordinated, noir-themed ensemble.

Taylor Swift is not often one for repeats, but even the most meticulous of wardrobes has its favorite pieces. The EB Denim mini dress she wore for her Tight End U performance was the same style she debuted post-2023 MTV Video Music Awards, though that version came in a different wash. After accepting nine awards and presumably running out of room in her arms, Swift ditched custom Versace for a corseted, patchwork denim look better suited for dancing and devouring mozzarella sticks.
