Aside from prompting criticisms over her recent football fashions, Taylor Swift won big at this year’s EMAs, where she graciously thanked her fans via a video message.

Stepping into Arrowhead Stadium in a stylish outfit, pop sensation Taylor Swift captured the public’s attention in Kansas City on November 10. The accomplished entertainer was all dressed up to support her footballer beau Travis Kelce with her mom and dad. However, not all netizens were fond of what she wore.

For the sports event, which saw the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Denver Broncos, Swift donned an eye-catching red and black houndstooth skirt suit from fashion powerhouse Versace.

In addition to its mesmerizing pattern, the matching blazer and skirt feature silver buttons. The suit jacket, which hung on her shoulders, features a row of buttons running along one side, while the skirt has them on both.

Swift paired the items with a low-neckline black corset and black boots. Completing her ensemble, she accessorized with a simple gold necklace, a gold watch, bracelets, and rings and carried a chic black handbag.

She styled her locks into a fashionable updo, allowing a few strands of hair to fall loosely around her face. Versace designer Donatella Versace thought Swift looked so fantastic in her clothes that she even took to Instagram to shower the singer with praise.

Alongside two photos of Swift, the iconic designer captioned, “Can you blame me for loving football now? 🏈 @taylorswift you are SO gorgeous in Versace!! ❤️‍🔥.”

In addition to online photos shared of the “Cruel Summer” musician, Extra TV posted a video of the star’s entrance into the stadium. The artist was seen walking down the corridor with her mom trailing behind her, as Swift took her time going down the ramp, seemingly being careful not to lose her footing.

Upon seeing her look, netizens took to social media platforms to assert their opinions on her appearance, with many pointing out what they did not like. “Her boots look incredibly uncomfortable and pigeon toe’d [sic],” remarked an Instagrammer.

Others criticized Swift’s fashion sense with comments like, “Dresses so frumpy…. I don’t get it…” and “A little over the top for a football game. She does not look her age.”

Similarly, someone else echoed, “I don’t get it…its [sic] a football game…not a fashion show. If she truly hated publicity, she wouldn’t be wearing an outfit that clearly states ‘look at me.'”

This sentiment was reiterated by someone else who also felt that the musical star wore the outfit intending to be noticed.

The user sarcastically penned, “Remember, though, she goes for the love of the game, not to be seen and filmed. 🙄 Calls in a hair and makeup team and designer outfit for privacy and low-key support of a boyfriend she only visits on game days. Definitely not PR.”

“Her taste in clothes is terrible,” asserted an Instagrammer. Another opined, “She looks like a tablecloth but go off I guess,” while a spectator noted, “Tacky outfit for a football game.” “Looking more mature this year,” added someone else.

Adding to the disdain for Swift’s ensemble, a commenter wrote, “She needs a new stylist.” Amid the vitriol, however, were a few praises. “She looks great today instead of her last few outfits!” observed a netizen. An admirer swooned, “Beauty and elegance! 👏🏼.”

Swift’s attendance at Kelce’s football game coincides with the 2024 MTV EMAs, which took place on Sunday, November 10. The “Look What You Made Me Do” singer emerged victorious at the music affair, winning multiple awards in different categories.

She walked away with Best Artist, Best U.S. Act, Best Live Act, and Best Video, which she won for her and fellow musician Post Malone’s song “Fortnight.”

Swift’s victories were by no means easy to accomplish, as she was up against some fierce competition, such as musical stars Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Adele, Coldplay, and Charli XCX, to name a few.

The “Lover” artist was also nominated for other categories like Best Collaboration, Best Pop, and Biggest Fans, which went to LISA and Rosalía, Ariana Grande, and LISA, respectively.

While Swift couldn’t be at the event in person, reportedly because she is wrapping up with “The Eras Tour” on the other side of the Atlantic, she thanked her fans in a video message.

The entertainer, who appeared in sparkly clothing, expressed, “Hey guys, it’s Taylor. I am coming to you from ‘The Eras Tour’ and I am so sad that I can’t be with you tonight, but thank you so much for these amazing awards.”

Continuing, she said, “The fact that you have honored the tour, everything that’s happened with the album this year, the video, it’s just unbelievable. I have to say, thank you so much to Post Malone for being the most amazing co-star possible in the ‘Fortnight’ music video.”

After thanking her DP (Director of Photography/Cinematographer), Swift re-acknowledged her fans, “You’re the reason any great thing happens to me, and I know it every single day, I’m so thankful for it, and this is just so exciting and so wonderful.”

Taylor Swift ended her message by spotlighting the amazing time she had touring in Europe over the summer and reiterated how thankful she is to the countless fans who made her wins possible.
