Taylor, 30, sported her signature tomboy style wearing the boots with a baggy sweatshirt, baggy sweatpants, a beanie and a puffer jacket as she stood outside of a tour bus. 

She simply captioned the post on Dec. 3 with “🥶”. 

Fletcher, 25, opted to show off her curves in her gray outfit with the Rick Owens boots.

The social media star wore a cropped puffer jacket and high-waisted leggings, accessorized with a pair of ski goggles. 

“Somewhere in Aspen 💨,” she captioned the post she shared on Dec. 8. 

Fashion Bomb Daily shared side-by-side pictures of the women and fans unanimously declared Taylor as the person who wore the pricey boots the best.

“Teyana. Period. Not even up for discussion,” one person commented.

Another remarked, “I don’t like these boots but Teyana is a muse, always 💕.”

“I hate these boots 😩😭 but Teyana,” a fan added.

Fletcher also got roasted in the comments section of her post for wearing the goggles like sunglasses.

“U going to space ? 😂,” one person asked.

Another chimed in, “Take them damn goggles off.”

“You f–king me up with them big a– ski glasses😑,” a fan said.

Taylor is certainly known for her fashion sense, whether she is dressed up and showing off her figure or being casual in streetwear.

“I can’t walk in high heels and I love sneakers. It’s so dope that you can be ‘hood chic.’ No one is looking down on you,” she said in an interview with Refinery29 in 2018.

She added, “Where street wear is right now is where I always wanted it to be.”

The singer was also recently appointed as the creative director for retailer PrettyLittleThing.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
