Hidden meaning behind Christina Applegate and Taylor Swift’s matching necklace

The Anchorman star and pop singer have the same piece of jewellery in the shape of a crescent moon

From a 'T for Travis' necklace to dressing in different colours based on her many eras, Taylor Swift is known for planting subtle Easter eggs within her outfits.

The 'Cruel Summer' singer rocked up to Grammys earlier this month donning a hot-red mini dress - an aspect of which was seemingly a subtle nod to her NFL beau Travis Kelce.

Zooming in on snaps of the star, a batch of eagle-eyed Swifties noticed that the flame-red dress incorporated some chain detail amid the slit of her upper-thigh.

And by the looks of things, a T-shaped charm has been included on the chain - possibly paying homage to Swift's man.

Sharing a snap of the singer on X, one person tweeted: "HELLLOOOO?!? THE MINI DRESS?! THE 'T' CHAIN ON HER THIGH?!?? THIS SERVE!!!"

But what most fans won't know is that she also has a matching piece of jewellery with none other than Christina Applegate - and there's a very sweet reason behind it.

Applegate opened up on the hidden meaning behind her beloved silver crescent moon necklace during a 2024 episode of SiriusXM's This Life of Mine... with James Corden.

The 53-year-old Anchorman star explained that the accessory was gifted to her by music legend Stevie Nicks and revealed that she is not the only person to receive one - instead it's a symbol that means you're part of a very cool and exclusive girl club that let's face it, we all want to be in.

She explained: "This was given to me by a legend, that she gives out to sisters of the moon, which is kind of part of her tribe of people that she loves."

According to Applegate, Nicks also wants the women to treat the necklaces as their 'lucky charms and to pass them along to another in need, should the moment arise'.

Applegate received hers last year and joined a long list of powerful names such as Swift, Chrissie Hynde, Vanessa Carlton, and the Haim sisters.

Swift hasn't been seen wearing hers in public so perhaps she's saving it for a special occasion.

It's not just celebrities who have been gifted the symbolic jewellery, with Nicks also passing them on to injured soldiers and Make-A-Wish children.

Applegate met Nicks while they were filming the sitcom Up All Night, before Nicks recorded at Applegate’s home recording studio, where they quickly became close friends.

Meanwhile, Swift and rock and roll legend Nicks have a long-time friendship, with the pop superstar even mentioning Nicks in the lyrics of her song 'Clara Bow'.

The heartwarming gesture of girlhood clearly means something special to Applegate, who insisted she never removes the necklace.

"Not on red carpets, not in a fancy dress, not in anything. This does not come off of my neck," she said.

Nicks has previously said of the recipients: "They deserve to have a moon. They deserve to have that inspiration and that little tip of my top hat to them to say I believe in you and I think that you’re amazing. So I’m telling you right now, you can have it all if you want it."

Meanwhile, in a 2017 interview with Huffington Post, Haim member Alana gushed: "Ever since I put it on, every person I’ve met has been like 'Where’d you get that necklace?' People are drawn to the moon. I can’t express it."
