Did you notice Taylor Swift Chiefs beanie she wore to Sunday night’s game? The “Midnights” singer was at Gillette Stadium to support boyfriend Travis Kelce as the Chiefs took on the Patriots. And, while Swift has been decked out in Chiefs merch for all of Kelce’s games, her beanie has a special backstory.

Turns out, Swift’s beanie was handmade by a Swiftie!

TikTok content creator @Kuttheknit (whose name is Kat) is the person behind the beanie, and they made the piece specifically hoping it’d make it’s way into Swift’s hands, and well, it did. Kat explained how the whole thing went down on their TikTok.

If you’re a fan of Swift (and her fashion), you probably already know that she’s been spotted in vintage Kansas City Chiefs sweatshirts. They’re from Kansas City boutique The Westside Storey. Well, Kat — the beanie knitter — is their social media manager.

When an order came in that the staff suspected was for the singer, Kat decided to knit the beanie as a gift. They added it into the package not even knowing if it would actually reach Swift. According to her TikTok, though, Kat figured if nothing else, the beanie would go to a fan.

Well, fast forward to last Sunday night, and Taylor wore the beanie!

In just a couple of days, Kat received so many orders for their signature Swift beanies that they had to shut down shop for a while. The beanie, which was priced at $30, could be found on their Depop. Unfortunately, you’re going to need to give Kat a while to catch up before you can go purchase one yourself. Even the pre-order options have sold out at this point.
