Taylor Swift just dropped new merch for the holidays — and We spotted an Easter egg.
Swift, who is 33 years old, released a collection of comfortable garments on November 13. The line encompasses a range of items such as sweatshirts inspired by her album "1989", cozy sweaters reminiscent of her album "Folklore", as well as ornaments and a duffel bag. Among the collection, the Koi Fish Quarter Zip Sherpa Pullover stands out, as it brings to mind one of Swift's guitars from the era of her album "Speak Now", featuring a similar fish design.
This white jacket, made from soft material, displays a purple pocket that symbolizes her third studio album. Embroidered on the pocket is the phrase "Speak Now Taylor's Version", paying homage to the artist's musical journey.
During her Speak Now World Tour in 2011 through 2012, Swift showcased her musical talent by strumming a captivating teal guitar adorned with exquisite koi fish designs during her enchanting rendition of “Last Kiss.” This extraordinary guitar was subsequently honored and placed on display at the esteemed Country Music Hall of Fame. Nevertheless, Swift occasionally retrieves the cherished instrument from its hallowed sanctuary, breathing life into it once again for her awe-inspiring live performances and mesmerizing music videos.

In her music video for "Anti-Hero" released in October 2022, she was shown strumming the guitar and laughing as her alter ego smashed a replica of the instrument on the floor.
During her Eras Tour in July, Swift brought out the guitar once again for her performance in Kansas City. This came shortly after the release of "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)", where she delighted fans by singing "Last Kiss" with the guitar as part of her surprise songs segment in the show.

During her show in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Saturday, November 11th, Taylor Swift gave a shout-out to Kelce, 34, while performing "Karma". Instead of the original lyrics, she modified them to mention Kelce's football team, the Kansas City Chiefs, saying "karma is the guy on the Chiefs". Kelce, who was in the audience, reacted with a smile and a blush, seemingly caught off guard by the lyrical alteration.

After the concert concluded, Swift swiftly ran up to Kelce and planted a kiss on him, while enthusiastic fans cheered them on. With her arm lovingly draped around him, they made their way into a tent.
In the same spectacular show, Swift took a moment to reflect on her astounding accomplishment of receiving six Grammy nominations. These nominations were officially announced on Friday, November 10. Holding up six fingers, she addressed the crowd, sharing, "This morning, I received the incredible news that, thanks to all of you and your unwavering support for my album Midnights, it has been nominated for six Grammys! You all are truly the best. Your continued support and devotion are the sole reasons why moments like this occur in my life."
