The Kansas City Chiefs won a game last night. They defeated the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead, in Kansas City. Travis Kelce’s fiancee Taylor Swift makes the Chiefs’ home games a priority. For the past two years, Taylor’s private security works hand-in-hand with Arrowhead security to keep Taylor safe, which is why she’s almost always there for Travis’s home games. Then, two Sundays ago, Taylor made a point of arriving late to Arrowhead for the Chiefs-Eagles game. As she entered the tunnel, she hid behind a bulletproof screen. She also stayed out of sight in the VIP box, with absolutely zero cutaways to Taylor during the game. Well, last night was sort of a repeat of that – no photos of Taylor entering Arrowhead and no cutaways during the game.
Taylor Swift quietly supported her fiancé Travis Kelce as he and the Kansas City Chiefs took on the Baltimore Ravens — just hours after she was in California at Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s wedding.
PEOPLE can confirm Taylor, 35, was in attendance at Arrowhead Stadium as the Chiefs hosted the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, Sept. 28.
Eagle-eyed fans also spotted the “Fortnight” singer’s father Scott, wearing a hat from Travis’ new American Eagle collaboration, and brother Austin Swift, sitting in a suite at Arrowhead. In one shot of Austin, 33, he’s seen sitting in front of Donna Kelce.
Taylor, whose new album The Life of a Showgirl drops in just days on Oct. 3, was not pictured in a suite or entering Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, as she continues supporting Travis, 35, and the Chiefs quietly.
I don’t think this is about Taylor’s album drop this week. You know what I’m saying? There seems to be a suggestion that she’s purposefully going underground before her album’s release, and I just don’t think that’s what this is. I think this is purely about Taylor’s security. We have no idea what kinds of threats she’s getting these days, especially with everything that’s happened this month in particular. Taylor hasn’t even spoken out about anything political recently, but she has in the past and that’s enough for her to still be targeted by right-wing extremists to this day. Now, was this year’s Super Bowl also a factor? Perhaps. She got booed & heckled quite heavily back in February, which was the last time she was SEEN at a football game.

Everywhere she goes, she creates a security risk.
I think she deals with it beautifully, and i think Travis having a close knit group of friends really helped cement their relationship. She feels taken care of and secure.
I’m mad we don’t see her fun outfits, but obviously security first. And between right wing extremists, her actual stalker(s). and the Baldoni “private investigator” trespassing on her property at 2am to terrorize her (with a subpoena the judge told him he could not serve- its more detailed, but that is the legal gist of it)
she has every reason to be concerned about her safety.
And that sucks.
I hate every person who voted to get us here, and every person who didn’t bother to vote at all.
I think if it was a security risk then her father and brother would be hiding along with her. So this is totally about her album drop.
I don’t think her father and brother are targets though. Let’s be honest, most people don’t know what they look like. Taylor is instantly recognizable and they’re not.
More people know what her mom looks like.
I think it’s more likely about her album than security. When Taylor attends games, the NFL over does the coverage. Even she knows that she’s overexposed.
Every high profile person who was publicly not supportive of Trump has a literal target in their back in 2025.
Do what you need to do, Tay.
Either that or she’s expecting.
If she is, I don’t think its visible, she was pictured at Selena’s wedding and a few weeks ago she was papped at dinner with Travis.
I dont even think this is just about security threats. I think she has decided that she doesnt’ want the NFL to be able to profit off her attendance/image/etc and I honestly can’t blame her for that.
The only pics I’ve seen of her at Selena’s wedding are her elbow as she got off the plane – there’s some AI shots going around but nothing real AFAIK.
I must admit if she did happen to be expecting I have wondered how she’d manage the speculation around her drinking alcohol or not. Even if she drank mocktails or non alcoholic wine to stop speculation now, some assholes would do the maths and point to them as proof of her being a terrible mother. I guess we’ll see if she has a drink on Graham Norton later this week. I could see just not being seen at all until they announce is an option for managing that.
I do suspect not being seen a safety thing. With her new album coming out, it would be better for her to be front and centre on national TV, surely.
I read recently that Taylor often conspicuously is photographed carrying an alcoholic drink to stave off pregnancy speculation.
Which is pretty genius, really, because the rumors must get exhausting.
She just won a restraining order against a stalker, who thinks she’s the mother of his son, this week. It wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve upped security because of him.
He’s actually not even the only problem – there’s another one who apparently they lost track of in the last couple of weeks. I can see her and her security team not wanting to give up real-time information about what she is wearing, etc. on occasions when her whereabouts are known, like the wedding and the games. Hence the hiding from the cameras.
Given that the NFL still allows men who have been arrested for beating their wives and girlfriends continue to play in the league, if she was visible in a box, I think they’d still show her on their broadcasts for the ratings. I don’t think the NFL cares about the safety of women.
So I think either she was there and she sat in a place that wasn’t visible by cameras for her own safety (that stalker situation sounds terrifying) or the NFL really is pissed at her for how the half time show negotiations went down and they’re done showing her. Or she doesn’t want to experience the bullshit booing she got at the Super Bowl again. Who would?
