Taylor Swift’s red coat just got the stamp of approval from an unexpected source — and he lives on Sesame Street.
Swift, 33, made a memorable appearance at a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers in Wisconsin on Sunday, December 3. She sported the Chief’s colors while cheering on Travis Kelce in an oversized red teddy coat by Stella McCartney, worn over a black turtleneck, a mini wrap skirt by Louis Vuitton, and black heeled leather boots.
The following day, on Monday, December 4, the beloved Elmo took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express his adoration of the fuzzy red coat. He exclaimed, "Call it what you want, but Elmo thinks that coat is so gorgeous, Ms. @taylorswift13!" followed by a hand heart emoji.
The comments were flooded with fans, with one jokingly suggesting, "she made that coat with your mother's fur."
Some fans were surprised to see that Elmo is a fan of Swift's album Reputation (“Call It What You Want” is one of the popular songs on the album). One fan wrote, “Shocked that @Elmo is such a reputation stan, cause I thought RED would be his number 1!” Another fan commented, “omg reputation (Elmo’s Version) incoming? ️”
Although Elmo is an unexpected fashion critic, given the likeness of his red fur to Swift’s red coat, his approval makes perfect sense.

Swift’s coat garnered attention this week as fans speculated whether she had borrowed the statement piece from her friend Brittany Mahomes’ wardrobe. Brittany, married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, had donned an almost identical red coat at one of her husband’s games in November 2022.
Throughout the year, the “Cruel Summer” singer has consistently delivered unforgettable fashion moments, whether at her popular Eras Tour, dining out with friends in New York City, at the iconic Electric Lady Studios, or attending a Kansas City Chiefs game in their signature red, white, and gold colors.

Swift's red teddy coat worn on Sunday is just one example of the singer effortlessly rocking a statement outerwear piece. From the custom purple fur coat by Oscar De La Renta during the "Lavender Haze" portion of her Eras Tour set to the white faux fur jacket paired with a blue Moschino dress with crystal stars at the 2022 VMAs, Swift has showcased her distinctive style. However, her most iconic coat may be the oversized bright pink fur coat seen in the "You Need to Calm Down" music video in 2019.
