If you keep up with music-industry news and stadium tours<\/a>, the NFL<\/a>, celebrity dating<\/a> and divorces<\/a>, Deuxmoi<\/a>, or even the condiments celebrities are dipping their chicken into<\/a>, you\u2019ve probably been hearing a lot<\/em> about Taylor Swift these last few months.<\/p>\n While the superstar is often a hot topic (and has been for well over a decade) among anyone tapped into pop culture, she\u2019s been front-and-center in the news, social media, and dinner conversations since the start of the Eras Tour<\/a> back in March.<\/p>\n That spotlight has only gained momentum as each tour night revealed surprise songs<\/a> and alleged easter eggs<\/a>, ties to rumored flings<\/a>, and a long-awaited Taylor’s Version announcement<\/a> of her 1989<\/em> album.<\/p>\n Now, while Taylor is on a brief break from touring (she resumes October 18 at Miami\u2019s Hard Rock Stadium), the latest focus\u2014aside from The Eras Tour<\/em> concert film<\/a> hitting theaters this week\u2014has been on her rumored budding romance with Travis Kelce<\/a>, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n If you Food52ers are wondering why you\u2019re getting a celebrity news breakdown instead of a recipe roundup or ingredient deep-dive, don\u2019t fret, there\u2019s a purpose to this pop-culture catch-up. Taylor’s been making headlines for an additional thing this fall: her Chai Sugar Cookies<\/a> from 2009.<\/p>\n Joy Wilson<\/a>\u2014known as Joy the Baker\u2014has been sharing her recipes for sweet treats on her baking blog since 2008 and her cookbook Joy the Baker Cookbook: 100 Simple and Comforting Recipes<\/em> was one of our Community\u2019s favorite cookbooks in 2012<\/a>. Back in 2009, Taylor tweaked Joy\u2019s Giant Vanilla Sugar Cookie<\/a> recipe by adding Chai spices and an eggnog glaze.<\/p>\n Now, nearly 15 years later, the recipe has resurfaced and is all over TikTok<\/a> being made, rated, and reviewed by anyone searching for the perfect fall cookie<\/a>.
