“Maroon?” Psh, Taylor Swift is all about Kansas City Chiefs red right now.
The 34-year-old singer repped the team’s color on Sunday night, as she supported and aptly celebrated her beau Travis Kelce’s win. Swift wore an oversized red sweater with a black skirt, fishnet tights, and tall boots. She also accessorized with a $44 BaubleBar necklace (the brand’s NFL collection is up to 50 percent off now), a few rings, and a custom bracelet that read “TNT.”
And as it turns out, the singer was supporting another person in her close circle, too: Her $695 cashmere crewneck was from Guest in Residence, her friend Gigi Hadid’s brand. But even though it’s quite expensive and sold out in the cherry color, don’t stress. We found a $44 sweater on Amazon that looks nearly the same.

Meghan Markle’s Designer Skirt Looks Like This $36 Amazon One Shoppers Say Is ‘Very Flattering’
And this isn’t just a Chiefs thing: Reese Witherspoon wore two red sweaters back in 2022, and one again last year, while Jennifer Lawrence wore one for date night a few months ago. Red sweaters are perfectly festive for the upcoming holiday. Wear them with a matching skirt for a special Valentine’s Day dinner, or kick it in sweats for your Galentine’s movie marathon.
Lillusory Oversized Ribbed Crewneck, $44 (Save 27%)

While similar to Swift’s, the Lullisory Oversized Ribbed Crewneck costs almost 16 times less than the Grammy winner’s. Shoppers say it’s “stretchy,” so you can comfortably cheer on the Chiefs or 49ers during the Super Bowl, or wear it for golfing, dancing, or other date night activities without feeling like you can’t move around. It has a looser fit, but the batwing sleeves and small slits on both sides add a little more shape to the silhouette.
“This is the most comfortable sweater I have owned in my life,” one shopper said. Plus, they said the “oversized fit is so cute and flattering.”
Renee C Cable Knit Pullover Sweater, $60 (Save $100)

If you want a sweater with a little spice, this one from Nordstrom Rack has both a fuzzy fabric and a chunky cable-knit design that runs down the middle. The hems are ribbed, just like Swift’s, and the crew neckline looks cozy, but not stuffy. And since there’s still more than a month left of winter and it’s 62 percent off right now, you’ll certainly get your money’s worth.
Zeagoo Turtleneck Pullover Sweater Top, $39 with coupon

Want a different neckline? This Zeagoosweater from Amazon covers more of your neck, so you can go sans scarf, and it also has fun lantern sleeves. There’s also this River Island V-neck sweater, which is $57, and might be better suited for those living on the West coast.
Chiefs fan or not, a red sweater should be next on your shopping list. Keep scrolling to shop more picks inspired by Taylor Swift.

Public Speaking Concepts:
Introduction to Public Speaking
Public speaking involves a face-to-face attempt to inform, persuade, or entertain a group of people through words, physical delivery, and visual or audio aids. It is a skill that requires preparation and effective communication techniques .
Speech Writing and Types of Speeches
Speech writing involves structuring the speech with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. The conclusion should provide a summary of what the audience was supposed to have learned or been persuaded to do during the presentation. It is important to use key phrases to signal the conclusion and end strongly with an impact statement. The introduction and conclusion can be mirrored to tie back to the information provided in the introduction .
Structuring the Speech
Organizing speeches serves two important functions. First, organization helps improve clarity of thought in a systematic way. Second, organization increases the likelihood that the speech will be effective. Audiences are unlikely to understand disorganized speeches and even less likely to think that disorganized speakers are reliable or credible .
Methods of Delivery in Public Speaking
When speaking in public, it is important to present oneself professionally by being well-groomed and wearing clean, appropriate clothes. It also means being prepared to use language correctly and appropriately for the audience and the topic, to make eye contact with the audience, and to look like you know your topic very well. Speaking allows for meaningful pauses, eye contact, small changes in word order, and vocal emphasis, providing a more animated message compared to reading .
How to Introduce Yourself
Introducing yourself effectively involves communicating your contribution and making yourself memorable. It is important to communicate your skills, expertise, and unique qualities in a concise and engaging manner .
These concepts provide a foundational understanding of public speaking, including the importance of effective communication, organization, and delivery techniques.
