While a Taylor Swift lookalike contest has yet to be held, it’s clear who would have taken the crown! At the Kansas City Chiefs game on Wednesday, December 25, a TikTok influencer caused quite a buzz when fans mistook her for the global pop superstar.
The uproar began when attendees at the game spotted Olivia, a TikTok creator, sitting in a private box. Dressed in a white cardigan and sporting Swift’s signature red lip, Olivia’s resemblance to the 14-time Grammy winner was uncanny. Videos quickly went viral, with fans speculating that the Anti-Hero hitmaker had come to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
However, the real Taylor Swift was not present at the game. Following the event, Olivia took to TikTok to address the confusion. “Today, I was at the Steelers versus Kansas City game for Christmas, sitting in a box seat with my best friend. We were having a really, really nice time,” she explained. Olivia recounted how fans’ reactions began to make her suspicious. “I saw a lot of people taking pictures or waving at me. I waved back because I didn’t want to be rude. Then it hit me—maybe they think I’m Taylor Swift? From far away, I can see it.”
The mix-up reached its peak when a staff member approached Olivia after the game, informing her that she was trending on social media for being mistaken as Swift. “I’m sorry to the people who thought I was Taylor Swift,” she said, laughing about the situation. “There were videos of me standing up, sitting down, or talking to my friend. It turned into a whole thing.”
Fans’ excitement was understandable, as Swift has been a frequent attendee at Kelce’s games since their relationship began last year. Although the Eras Tour star wasn’t in attendance, Olivia’s striking resemblance provided a memorable Christmas surprise for Swifties and football fans alike.
