Taylor Swift’s $120 Choker Is a Subtle Nod To Her Song

Taylor Swift can sure make the whole place shimmer.

On Saturday, April 27, the 34-year-old megastar wore a glamorous ensemble for the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic Gala in Las Vegas. 

There to support her friend Patrick Mahomes, Swift was spotted walking hand in hand with her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, wearing The Regina dress by Maria Lucia Hohan. The dark green gown (which currently retails for $2,405) features spaghetti straps, an asymmetrical drape and a sexy cut-out detail at the back.

To accessorize, Swift wore the Vitaly’s Shimmer necklace, a gold choker with a crystal charm hanging off of it. 

“Pairing industrial chainlink with elegant weighting, a shimmering crystal, and dangling brand tag, this versatile chain is more than the sum of its parts,” reads a description of the necklace on Vitly’s website. “Finished with our signature Glyph carabiner clasp and an adjustable sizing chain.”

As of Monday, April 29, Vitaly’s Shimmer necklace is available for preorder (perhaps due to the Swiftie-induced demand). 

Auctioneer Harry Santa-Ollala shared a selfie with Swift to Instagram, giving fans an up-close look at the glittering jewelry piece.

“It’s not every night @taylorswift is in your audience,” Santa wrote int he caption. 

In the photo, Swift sports her signature bangs and winged eyeliner, a soft coral lip taking the place of her usual red.

Fans were quick to point out that the name of the necklace is a subtle reference to the singer’s track “Bejeweled,” featured on her Grammy winning 2023 album Midnights. 

The song’s chorus begins: “Best believe I’m still bejeweled / When I walk in the room / I can still make the whole place shimmer.”

This portion of the song also went viral on TikTok when creator Mikael Arellano shared a simple bit of choreography to the track. (Taylor apparently saw the viral trend, as she included the dance in her performance of the song at the opening night of her Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona, per Cosmopolitan.)

During the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, Kelce, 34, took the stage to auction off four tickets to Swift’s Eras Tour. The moment was documented in a clip posted on TikTok and in a video by Santa-Olalla.

“I think, um, I was just talking to my significant other,” Kelce said on stage, referring to Swift, “And uh, we might have one other auction item that wasn’t on the docket.”

He then asked, “Has anyone heard of the Eras Tour?” to which the crowd cheered.
