On Monday night the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2025 took center stage and the big winner of the night was none other than Taylor Swift.
The billionaire musician put the finishing touches on her record-setting Eras Tour late last year and has spent the past few months either cheering on Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce or taking various vacations with her beau.
After a recent outing in New York, though, Swift was honored with a few awards during the music awards show – including best surprise guest following Kelce’s surprise appearance at a June 2024 concert Kelce joined Swift on stage for her “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” wardrobe change.
But that wasn’t all. She also took home honors for tour of the century following her Eras Tour, which grossed over $2 billion across the nearly two-year run. While she didn’t attend the event, she did show up in a video message that had fans talking.
The 14-time Grammy winner wore a long-sleeved black sweater and plaid Miu Miu miniskirt and slim silver choker – which had Swifties talking all night long.
Why is the necklace such a big deal? Well, after Kim Kardashian compared Swift to a slithering serpent on social media in 2016, the Grammy winner reclaimed the reptile as the unofficial mascot of 2017’s “Reputation.” She wore python prints and snake-inspired jewelry during the album’s rollout – and later brought an inflatable snake on stage.
Fans know this is a big deal.
“no calculus or long division needed!” one said.
“this is a tay easter egg btw.. obvious and in ur face not many know how to grasp this concept,” offered another.
“now this is an ACTUAL Easter egg,” added a third.
Fans believe a “Reputation” re-recording could be in the works.
