LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: NFL Kyle Juszczyk’s wife Kristin Juszczyk is celebrating a remarkable turning point in her career as a fashion designer and has thanked pop icon Taylor Swift for it.
When Swift donned a Travis Kelce-themed “87” puffer jacket during a frigid Kansas City Chiefs playoff game against the Miami Dolphins, the clothing accessory not only made headlines but also catapulted the clothing line into the spotlight. The jacket was designed by Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk.
Kristin Juszczyk praises Taylor Swift for boosting her design career
San Francisco 49ers WAG Kristin Juszczyk has lauded Taylor Swift for elevating her career as a clothing designer. Swift sported the puffer jacket in January, when temperatures plummeted to -20 degrees, causing some fans at Arrowhead Stadium to experience frostbite.
After Swift’s fans discovered the jacket’s origin, Kristen’s career took off, DailyMail reported. Talking about the ‘Shake It Off’ singer, the designer told Page Six, “She single-handedly changed my career. I feel like I owe her everything, truly.”
“It was such a pinch-me moment seeing her wear something of mine, and it just completely changed the trajectory of everything that I was doing. She opened up so many doors for me. And she looked amazing!” she added.
Juszczyk also designed a “15” jacket for Brittany Mahomes to wear at the same game last season.
Since that pivotal moment, Juszczyk has signed a licensing deal with the NFL and created pieces for stars like Caitlin Clark and Olivia Dunne.
“My husband’s been so fortunate to have such a long career in the NFL, and I just got really sick of having the same three or four pieces in rotation,” she explained about her foray into design.
“We had a box of Kyle’s merch, so I just kind of got inspired to start cutting [T-shirts] up and see what I could make out of them. The first thing I ever made for a game day was actually a pair of patchwork sweatpants. Looking back now, they are so bad, but I was so proud of them,” Kristin added.
Ironically, the 49ers lost the Super Bowl to the Chiefs last season in Las Vegas. This season, the 49ers sit at 2-2 ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are undefeated at 4-0 and will face the New Orleans Saints at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night.
Swifties claim everything Taylor Swift ‘touches turns to gold’
After Kristin Juszczyk expressed her gratitude to Taylor Swift for the significant impact she had on her clothing career, Swifties could not stop praising the pop star. They took to the comments section of the Daily Mail article and declared that everything she touches turns to gold.
One reader wrote, “Everything Tay touches turns to gold…more people should live by her example!”
Another claimed, “I think the Juszczyk’s are some of the best people in the NFL. Happy for both of them. Does she make gear for men?”
One Swiftie commented, “Awesome. Really a great story of how you found your passion. You do great work. Congrats and continued good fortune.”
Another added, “This will pass thank goodness.”
One person wrote, “Good for her! I love seeing successful, creative people go far.”
Another stated, “Swift’s strategists had her create a local face for each region, even as she became an ever more globally marketed personality.”
One individual remarked, “Love her design so talented.”
