It wasn’t her first time wearing the designer; Swift had previously worn the necklace to Kansas City Chiefs games, and later wore a pink tourmaline and diamond ring by the jeweler in her “The Fate of Ophelia” music video.
Hadid also contributed to Swift’s jewelry collection, gifting her a custom CeCe Jewellery gold signet ring featuring a portrait of her cat, Benjamin Button, surrounded by pearls and diamonds. The design includes a hidden engraving of “TTPD” inside the band, a nod to Swift’s 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department.
