Taylor Swift made a memorable appearance at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2025, where her Eras Tour was honored as the "tour of the century." This event took place on Monday night, and Swift shared a heartfelt video message reflecting on her tour experiences.
After stepping back from the spotlight following her appearance at the Super Bowl, where she supported her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs, Swift returned in style. She opted for a more understated look, wearing a long-sleeved black sweater paired with a plaid miniskirt from Miu Miu. However, it was her striking silver snake-shaped choker that caught the attention of fans.
Social media lit up with fans commenting on the necklace. One fan excitedly asked, “IS THAT A SNAKE NECKLACE?” while another hinted at the possibility of her re-recording "Reputation" with the phrase, “rep tv in the air.” Even Flavor Flav, the hip-hop icon and Swift fan, chimed in, tweeting about the necklace.
The snake motif has a significant history for Swift. In 2016, Kim Kardashian compared her to a snake on social media, leading Swift to embrace the symbol as part of her brand, especially during the rollout of her 2017 album, "Reputation." This included wearing snake-inspired jewelry and even featuring an inflatable cobra in her performances.
In her video message, Swift reflected on the challenges and rewards of the Eras Tour, calling it the most gratifying experience of her life. She expressed deep gratitude for the journey and the support from her fans. Following her speech, a performance of her song "Mirrorball," filmed during her first Eras concert in Glendale, Arizona, was shown.
Swift led the nominations at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards with ten nods, including artist of the year and best collaboration. This isn’t her first time at the event; she last attended in 2023, where she took home five awards, including song of the year.
As she continues to celebrate her success, Swift’s fashion choices and symbolic gestures remain a hot topic among fans. Whether it’s her striking jewelry or her heartfelt messages, Swift knows how to keep her audience engaged and excited.
