Taylor Swift Rocks Signature Red Lip and a Snake Necklace (of Course!) for Virtual 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards Speech

Swift made a video to accept the award for Tour of the Century

Taylor Swift stuck to her classic look for the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Though she didn’t attend in person on March 17, the “Cruel Summer” singer, 35, sent a video to fans as she accepted the Tour of the Century Award.

While clutching her trophy in honor of the record-breaking Eras Tour, Swift rocked what has basically become her uniform these days. Standing against a brick wall, the Grammy winner wore a long-sleeve black tee, presumably a plaid skirt (though only a bit of the waistband was visible) and her signature red lip.

What Swifties on social media were very quick to point out, though, was the necklace around the musician’s neck. It appeared to be a snake, which we’ve come to know all too well holds great symbolism for her as she continues to tease Reputation (Taylor’s Version).

On X, fans had plenty to say about the jewelry, with one writing, “Taylor wearing a snake necklace is so funny because she knows EXACTLY what she’s doing” and another adding, “TAYLOR WEARING A SNAKE NECKLACE WAS NOT ON MY BINGO CARD TONIGHT.”

As several clever fans pointed out, the necklace appeared to not just be a snake, but an ouroboros, or an ancient symbol of a snake or dragon eating its own tail. It symbolizes rebirth.

One fan shared, “taylor’s necklace being a snake biting its own tail aka the ouroboros which is a symbol signifying rebirth and a continuous process where destruction and creation intertwine is soooo interesting, very rep tv of her.”

Swift has long referenced snakes in relation to Reputation, and as buzz surrounding a rerelease of the album has swirled, fans have only found more of what they believe are clues that the long-awaited album is coming.

Whether it was her snakey Gucci dress at the 2024 Golden Globes or her black Versace gown at the 2023 VMAs, Swift’s style has had many nods in the past couple years to the beloved album. Everything comes back to those snake-covered Roberto Cavalli jumpsuits she wore on tour (that we only thought came in black and red until she brought out the gold) and the slithery creature.

The necklace is just another little hat tip from Swift that she knows what she’s doing!

After accepting her award, Swift shared an exclusive video of her “Mirrorball” performance from her first Eras Tour show in Glendale, Ariz., from 2023.

“I really can’t tell you how much this means to me because this, on behalf of my tour mates, all my fellow performers, my band, everyone who toured with us, our crew… this is actually the two-year anniversary of the first show of the Eras Tour, so I’ve been doing a lot of processing since I’ve been off the road these last few months,” Swift shared while accepting her award.

Swift’s other nods of the night included pop artist of the year, artist of the year, best collaboration, best music video and best lyrics with Post Malone for “Fortnight” and favorite surprise guest (for bringing out boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Eras Tour during a June concert in London).

She is also being recognized for favorite tour tradition (one nod for the “22” hat and one nod for the Eras Tour surprise songs), favorite tour style and favorite onscreen for theTaylor Swift | The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) movie.
