After weeks of intense speculation, a new power couple has been confirmed. There are not many people big enough to upend NFL coverage on a Sunday afternoon, but that is exactly what Taylor Swift did yesterday.

In case you missed it, Swift was all over the nationally televised game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago Bears. As many fans had suspected, the award-winning recording artist is officially in a relationship with Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce.

It is always a major moment when the music and sports worlds collide to create a new celebrity power couple. It is also a very important moment for the sneaker industry. Swift is a trendsetter, and Kelce is one of the most prominent sneakerheads in the entire NFL.

So, naturally, all eyes were on Swift's feet to see what sneakers she rocked in Arrowhead Stadium. As always, she did not disappoint. Swift wore the New Balance 550 in the 'White Red' colorway. Below is everything fans must know about the affordably-priced lifestyle sneakers.

The New Balance 550 was released in the 'White Red' colorway in February 2022 for $110. Luckily for online shoppers, the old-school basketball shoes are still hovering around the retail price on sneaker resale websites like eBay, StockX, GOAT, and KICKS CREW.

Of course, plenty of other colorways of the ubiquitous sneaker are available on New Balance's website. As for the model itself, the 550 made a name for itself on the basketball court in the 1980s before being locked away in the New Balance archives for decades.

However, the sneaker has come roaring back over the past three years and released in more colorways than we can even count. Swift nailed it with her choice of sneakers, and we cannot wait to see what she wears to her next NFL game. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news from the sports world.
