Pop icon Taylor Swift recently added a new piece of jewelry to her collection: a Cartier watch worth over $32,000.
Swift’s friend and stylist, designer Ashley Avignone, dropped a photo of herself with the Grammy winner on Sunday, December 29th from a recent birthday dinner in New York City.
“Happy birthday to me, emphasis on the *happy* 
,” Avignone captioned the post, which featured herself and Swift embracing in front of a rainbow birthday cake.
Astute style expert and Taylor Swift aficionado Sarah Chapelle was quick to note that the photo contained a tiny — but ultra glamorous — fashion detail: The gold Cartier watch.“
A new watch has been added to Taylor’s (slowly) growing collection,” Chapelle wrote in a Monday, December 30th post on Instagram, adding that the songwriter was also recently spotted in a yellow gold Louis Vuitton time piece on November 10th at the Kansas City Chiefs game.
Chapelle also noted that while Swift has “upped her jewelry” game over the past year, experimenting with new styles and the “art of the stack” with necklaces, earrings and bracelets, watches are a decidedly new category of accessory for the star.
“In my memory, the only time I can recall Taylor coming close to watches is when they were formatted into different settings like, say, a vintage watch face restrung onto a necklace pendant,” she wrote.
“I’ve personally always admired the Cartier ‘Tank’ style (worn and loved by Princess Diana) so I’m excited to see Taylor wearing a Cartier piece here,” she continued, adding, “I look forward to seeing if this is a new category she’s set to add more pieces to.”
The rest of Taylor’s outfit for the evening saw a long-sleeved flared corset dress by Fleur du Mal which retails for $475, a long black Simkai coat with white embellishments for $1,162 and black Christian Louboutin open-toed heels worth $1,095. She further accessorized the ensemble with a Stella McCartney Falabella crystal-fringed tote for $2,450, and De Beers earrings worth $36,000.00.
The “Karma” singer — who boyfriend Travis Kelce accompanied — wore her hair in a chic blowout and brought everything together with her signature bold red lip. For his part, Kelce donned festive red pants with a red jacket paired with a white tee and green and white baseball hat. He topped off the look with black lace-up boots.
