Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may or may not be dating, but either way, the couple has dominated headlines in the past few weeks. If you’re looking for a timely, pop culturally relevant couples costume, dressing up as Taylor and Travis is absolutely the way to go.
Here’s a few ideas:
1. Eras Tour Taylor Swift and Home Game Travis Kelce
The most sure-fire way to get recognized as this couple will be by one person dressing up as Taylor in her opening outfit from The Eras Tour, and the other as Travis in his home game jersey. For Tay, we recommend a sparkling bodysuit—you can DIY, or find one online—plus sparkling heels, a microphone, and a butterfly necklace like the one she sports on tour.
Travis is easy, too. All you have to do to make his home game ‘fit is a jersey and football leggings. You can even throw on a pair of receiver gloves and socks to make it really authentic.
2. First Date Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift cheers from a suite as the Kansas City Chiefs play.
If you want a bit of a deeper cut reference, you can recreate the outfits that Taylor and Travis were wearing when they drove off in his getaway car the night of the first Chiefs game that Taylor attended in September. To make this outfit work, all you need for Taylor is denim cutoffs, a white tank, sneakers, and a red and white windbreaker.
Travis wore a matching denim jacket and matching from KidSuper Studio, that was retroactively called the “1989 Bedroom Painting” set. Any matching, funky denim get-up will work. Throw on a white t-shirt, sunglasses, converse, and some chain necklaces to complete the look.
3. Saturday Night Live Taylor and Travis
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are seen leaving the SNL after party.
For their official debut as a couple, the two attended Saturday Night Live, where they both made brief cameo appearances, and then were spotted at the afterparty. For the evening, Taylor was in a black corset top and pants, and added a houndstooth coat. It’s an extremely easy look to recreate—you can even snag the exact Aupen bag she was carrying:
Travis, meanwhile, kept it cool in a printed jacket, white button down, brown pants, and white sneakers. His Jil Sander Bird Fil Coupe Jacket is unfortunately out of stock, but there are plenty of other jackets and sweaters online with similar vibes.
4. New York City date night

Or, if you’re looking to channel their date-night style, Taylor opted for a mesh Jean Paul Gaultier top, a Khaite patent leather mini skirt (that she wore backwards), and tall heeled booties. She also carried a burgundy Roger Vivier bag:
Meanwhile, Travis was in a corduroy matching set, Nike sneakers, and a black graphic T-shirt.
5. Last-minute Taylor and Travis: Novelty T-Shirts
If you’re looking for something easy and last-minute for Halloween, ordering t-shirts from Etsy is the way to go. There’s already a whole new genre of Taylor/Travis t-shirts to pick from, or you could go simple and wear a Kelce t-shirt and Swift t-shirt. Pair any of these shirts with jeans, or denim cut-offs, and voilá: You have an outfit!
Throw in some props—football, friendship bracelets, even a guitar—and you’re ready for any Halloween party.
6. “87 and 89” Travis and Taylor
In “Mary’s Song (Oh My My),” Taylor sings “I’ll be 87, you’ll be 89 / I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine,” a reference to growing old, but fans quickly took it to apply to Travis’s jersey number (87) and Taylor’s birth year (89). An easy way to do this costume is to get an 89 jersey for Taylor, and an 87 jersey for Travis.
Alternatively, you can get a jersey with Taylor’s name on it—there are plenty of options online!
