5 Initial Necklaces to Emulate Taylor Swift’s Grammy Look

The recently wrapped Grammy Awards 2025 brought a slew of noteworthy moments—Beyoncé nabbing her first Album of the Year gong, Kendrick Lamar taking home five Grammys for a diss track, and Sabrina Carpenter cementing her pop girlie status with her wins. Beyond the music, off-stage happenings added unexpected twists to the ceremony. Taylor Swift, for instance, might not have had her moment on the podium but made headlines regardless with her outfit selection.

Dressed in a glittery Vivienne Westwood number, the 36-year-old stole the spotlight with a delicate little detail draping down her form. The thigh chain in itself was a risqué choice for a red carpet rendezvous, but the “T” pendant peeking out under the slit of her minidress immediately turned sly into scandalous. In true Swiftie fashion, the Lorraine Schwartz-designed jewellery caused an all-consuming media storm even before the first award of the night was presented.

Theories emerged at an accelerated rate. Some were convinced that the alphabet charm was referencing Swift’s beefy beau Travis Kelce. Others chose to believe that it was a wink at the impending re-release of Reputation, citing track 14 from the album, ‘Call It What You Want’. The lyrics read: “I want to wear his initial on a chain ’round my neck, chain ’round my neck. Not because he owns me. But ’cause he really knows me.”

But whatever it was supposed to symbolise—the explanation could be as simple as Swift’s own initial, but where is the fun in that?—the leg jewellery has sparked a sweeping online interest. We could be seeing a new trend sprouting right before our eyes. So, if you wish to join the singer at the vanguard of the movement, check out these pendant necklaces that you could easily style into a thigh jewel.
