Picture this. You walk into the Grammys. Everyone is dressed to impress. But who stands out? Taylor Swift.

        It wasn't just the outfit. It was the message behind it. Swift, the queen of clever clues, had a loud and clear one for her fans. It was a nod to her boyfriend Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. Read that again. She wasn't subtle. It was like on a football field, the cheerleaders who are wearing the player's number; Swift is wearing the team's color and a pendant showing the letter T.

        Why red? Many people wear red and blue, but this shade was intentional. This red is a bold move. Her outfit, a custom Vivienne Westwood creation. The dress was glamorous, sparkling, and had that waist-cinching look she so very often wears during football games. And she's known for the way she shows support; while other fans show team spirit in the bleachers, she does it on the red carpet.

        Let's step back. Taylor Swift is up for 6 awards this year. She is up for album of the year, best pop vocal album. But the main question is why the red and the T?

        Now we'll go back to her outfit. The slip of her leg and the chain with a pendant weren't just a fashion statement, they were a deliberate shout out that she was happy to show her support. At the same time, her earrings, the lipstick matched her dress and all that glitter was a statement to show she and Kelce are a pair.

 Swift is a real master at using her style to tell a story. Swifty is up for 6 awards at the 2025 Grammys.  She is up for album of the year and best pop vocal album for her 2024 album "The Tortured Poets Department", . Her song "Fortnight" featuring Post Malone is up for a record of the year, song of the year, and best music video. Her collaboration with Gracie Abrams, "Us, " also received a nomination for best pop duo/group performance. Swift is uniquely talented at using her fashion choices to send messages to her fans. It is the way she shows she supports Kelce. A seasoned star, Swift knows how to distribute a message and still look fabulous. She is not just a star, but a trendsetter. You can be sure when she is on stage its an event.

        Swift's red carpet entrance was not just for the glamour. It was a very public declaration of her support. Swift isn't the only star to do this. Stars like Gwen Stefani have all done this. But Swift is a master at it. As she continues to stand out on the red carpet, we can’t help but wonder what else she might have up her glittering sleeve.

        Stars use the Grammys in a myriad of ways.

       It is a place to be seen, to celebrate their hard work and to be recognized by the industry. It is a place to win awards and take photos to be used for publicity.
