Taylor Swift Wore the Sock-Boot Trend to a Chiefs Game

published 8 October 2024

The Swifties are breathing a sigh of relief tonight because Taylor Swift is back in Chiefs kingdom to attend the latest game after a brief absence. Something I've noticed about Swift's game-day attire is that she keeps us guessing. One week, she'll be decked out in Chiefs merch, and the next, she'll do a 180 and opt for something more glamorous and edgy. Tonight's outfit fit under the latter category, and similar to the first Chiefs game of the season, Swift wore a boot trend that people will either love or hate.

The first time we reported on Swift's game-day boots, she opted for a pair of patent-leather thigh-high boots. This time, she went with knee-high sock boots paired with a tartan Vivienne Westwood corset and matching miniskirt. Like it or not, sock boots have made a comeback this fall in the form of ankle, knee-high, and thigh-high boots, and Swift's high-profile endorsement is sure to further the trend. Keep scrolling to shop the trend for yourself if you've been influenced.
