Pop star Taylor Swift’s selfie has social media users zooming in on her appearance at her boyfriend’s football match, with one calling it “so unsettling.”
Taylor Swift may have been rooting for the Chiefs, but her selfie from Travis Kelce’s game at Arrowhead Stadium on November 29 has sparked a buzz online, with netizens either cheering or questioning her latest look.
The photo, part of a carousel of pictures shared by Whitney Ricketts on Instagram and TikTok, features the “Fortnite” hitmaker posing with Ricketts in Kelce’s suite. Dressed in a red jacket with gold accents, Swift’s outfit mirrored the Chiefs’ signature colors.
With her signature bangs, a sleek braid, and bold red lipstick, the 34-year-old pop sensation exuded confidence and charm as she smiled for the camera.
Ricketts didn’t just snap a selfie with the music superstar, she also shared a fun dance moment with the “Shake It Off” singer, enjoying the lively Chiefs game-day vibes.
One part of the video shows Swift leaning into the camera with a curious yet amused expression, while Ricketts stands behind her, smiling confidently.
Another scene captures the duo in animated gestures, seemingly mimicking dance moves. Ricketts takes the lead with enthusiasm, while Swift smiles brightly, fully immersed in the moment.
Later in the video, Ricketts laughs as Swift sticks out her tongue and playfully forms a heart with her fingers, perfectly capturing their lighthearted camaraderie.
However, Swift’s appearance quickly became the unexpected focus of attention. One user remarked, “These veneers are enormous!” while another wrote, “her teeth and face are so unsettling omg she looks scary [sic].”
A more detailed critique stated, “Oh gosh, this pic is not good. She looks nice till she smiles then all the fake lips and filler really show up, massively ages her too, i’m actually quite really blown away [sic]!”
Despite the critiques, many fans expressed admiration for the singer. One commenter gushed, “This is the cutest ❤️,” while another enthusiastically noted Swift’s vibrant presence in Rickett’s social media, “Taylor swift omg [sic].”
Netizens quickly filled with declarations of love for Swift, as fans affectionately used playful nicknames to celebrate her. Others were simply delighted by her appearance in Ricketts’ post, with one admirer exclaiming, “Omg!!!”
It wasn’t just Ricketts who had a close encounter with Swift. TikTok user Suzie Drew shared a heartwarming moment, revealing that her husband, William, who works as security staff at the Chiefs’ game, had an unexpected interaction with the star.
In her TikTok post, Drew shared that she jokingly asked her husband to say “hi” to Swift on her behalf if he happened to see her. To her surprise, her husband did more than just meet Swift. Drew shared footage of her husband chatting with Swift as she stood by a window watching the game. In the video, Swift can be seen waving.
“Never really thought how anything into it other than that, but, you know, it just so happened that tonight, she was handing out tips to the custodial workers and to the security, and somehow, another we ended up facetiming with the one, and only Taylor Allison Swift,[sic]” Daze explained.
The brief encounter ended with her husband snapping a photo with the singer.
“How freaking cute. So, needless to say, we will spend all week fangirling. Probably all year,” Drew gushed.
Taylor Swift’s playful interactions weren’t the only highlights of her game-day experience. She also spent time with Donna Kelce, her boyfriend’s mom, who turned heads in a chic black-and-white outfit paired with leather pants and white sneakers.
Swift’s visit to the stadium follows her night out in New York City with Zoë Kravitz and Jerrod Carmichael, keeping her in the spotlight.
On November 8, Swift stepped out for dinner at the newly opened Chez Margaux restaurant in New York City. For the occasion, she chose a striking outfit. She wore a vibrant striped corset dress featuring shades of blue, yellow, and red, paired with burgundy velvet sandals.
“I worked hard to retrain my brain that a little extra weight means curves, shinier hair, and more energy. I think a lot of us push the boundaries of dieting, but taking it too far can be really dangerous. There is no quick fix. I work on accepting my body every day,” she explained.
Despite the buzz and speculation surrounding her look, Swift did not comment on the rumors at the time. Her silence left fans and onlookers to continue dissecting her appearance, speculating about everything from potential cosmetic enhancements to changes in makeup and styling.
Swift’s New York outing came after she landed six nominations at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
