Taylor Swift, known for her hit ‘Anti Hero’, braved one of the coldest games in NFL history to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, as he played against the Miami Dolphins. She watched from the VIP box at Arrowhead Stadium, keeping warm in a unique Chiefs-themed puffer jacket.
The jacket, which had Kelce’s number, 87, on the back, caught the attention of Swift’s fans online. They quickly discovered that the red coat was designed by Kristin Juszczyk, wife of San Francisco 49ers player Kyle. The NFL star has since expressed his delight that his wife’s design skills have been recognised thanks to Swift’s endorsement.
Chatting with 95.7 The Game, the ex-Baltimore Ravens player couldn’t hide his delight as he spoke about how tirelessly his wife has worked on her fashion creations over the years. He confessed his “pure joy just to see her get that recognition” in a touching tribute.
He said: “She’s been grinding for years, working so hard. So, so happy to see her get her stuff out there, everybody to see it, and people recognise that was hers. Some of those jackets, she probably put 20 hours alone into a single jacket.”
Kyle then elaborated on his wife’s dedication, saying: “Like, times, I’m waking up, three, four in the morning, she’s not in bed. She’s downstairs, she’s working. So she really really has been grinding. And so I’m happy to see it pay off.”

Previously, Kristin gave her 256k TikTok followers a behind-the-scenes look at how she made the puffer jackets. She showed how she added ‘some extra puff and a nice thick liner’ to a Chiefs jersey to create the final product, quipping: “Beauty doesn’t always have to be pain, right?”
The fashion trend has taken the internet by storm, with celebs like Swift, Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Lautner all spotted wearing the jackets recently. CBS also reported that she’s designing a similar piece for US Olympics star Simone Biles.
Her sudden rise to fame is evident in her skyrocketing social media following. In just four days, Juszczyk gained an additional 400,000 Instagram followers, outpacing any NFL stars during the same period.
