Move over traditional Valentine’s reds – Taylor Swift just served up the ultimate February nail inspiration at the 2025 Super Bowl, proving that sometimes the best style plays happen off the field!
When America’s favorite pop star touched down at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans to cheer on Travis Kelce, she brought more than her now-iconic “T” chain.
While her casual-chic ensemble of a white tank and denim shorts had us all ready for an early spring, it was her perfectly polished dark red manicure that stole the beauty spotlight.
The Super Bowl Manicure: Dark Red & Chic

Beauty sleuths are suggesting it’s a perfect match for classics like OPI’s Got the Blues for Red or Malaga Wine – both totally achievable for your next salon visit.
While Swift’s Grammy’s manicurist Lisa Peña Wong wasn’t confirmed for this look, the polish application was flawless enough to withstand all those nail-biting moments during the game.
The shorter length is also perfectly practical – ideal for everything from typing out those work emails to, you know, casually covering your mouth while sharing secrets with Ice Spice in a luxury suite.
The Rest of the Look
While Swift’s nails were serving elegant but make it football-friendly, she kept her overall glam classic. Her signature red lip made an appearance (because, duh), her blonde hair was styled down with fluffy bangs, and she looked effortlessly cool from the suite.
She was joined by besties like the Haim sisters and Ice Spice, but Blake Lively was nowhere to be seen—someone check on the squad group chat.
