Taylor Swift’s Plans to Attend Kansas City Chiefs Games Are Getting More Secretive: Report
Since the singer Taylor Swift‘s relationship with the NFL is close Travis Kelce has been made public Last fall, the world watched Kansas City Chiefs games not just because team winning waysbut to catch a glimpse of the star in a legitimately bizarre mix of extremely public (not unlike the glass on VIP boxes that mirrors police interrogation style!) and private (who among us hasn’t lost our cool watching a loved one play?). In the 2023-24 season, members of the Chiefs organization will let it go sometimes when they learned the singer would be attending a game—but don’t expect that this time, as growing security concerns have made Taylor Swift’s game attendance a closely guarded secret.
That’s not to say Swift has ever publicly announced plans to play a game. Her team has been tight-lipped about her travel plans, rarely responding to requests for comment on how she spends her time when she’s not performing on her seemingly never-ending Eras Tour. Kelce admitted that she was banned from the media last year, said that Since his rise in on-field performance was tied to Swift’s in the penalty area, keeping her ticket information secret was a way to prevent bookmakers from placing odds on a match.
Those fears seem strange these days, a month after Austrian officials thwarted terrorist attacks during Swift’s three-night Eras Tour at the Ernst Happel Arena in Vienna. The singer, who addressed threats and stalkers from her early days of fame, say The foiled terrorist plan was said to have “given me a new sense of fear”. According to those who attended subsequent concerts, the venues demonstrated a heightened security presence following the failed attack in Vienna, and no credible threats to the singer or her fans have been made public in the weeks since.
According to ARRIVE New York PostThat increased security will extend to any Chiefs games Swift attends, a measure that strikes anyone who doesn’t talk a lot about the NFL as unfavorable to Swift. Parcel Point to The Athletic news with anonymous sources This week Swift will be at the Chiefs’ season opener against the Baltimore Ravens—which she attended, as we all know—is an example of the kind of leak that the Taylor Group is trying to avoid.
“She has the same level of security as the president,” said an anonymous source. Parcel. “After Austria, her security firm was not happy that her whereabouts were revealed.” According to that source, “there is speculation that the NFL team leaked the news, perhaps to attract more viewers to the big game on Thursday.” (Vanity Faircontacted Swift’s team for confirmation. Parcel‘reported, but had not received a response as of the time of publication.)
If so, the ploy worked. According to ESPNThis week’s Chiefs game was the most-watched NFL opener since Thursday Night Football began in 2002. 28.9 million people tuned in, up 5% from last year’s Chiefs opener, when 27.5 million people tuned in to watch the (Swiftless) Chiefs lose to the Detroit Lions.
It’s unclear what other measures Swift’s team could have taken to keep her attendance under wraps, other than suspicious popcorn machine antics or dressing up as the team mascot as she moves around the stadium. She has make legal threats After all, she’s against social media accounts tracking the movements of her private jet.
In any case, it seems that even in these very strange times, Swift and Kelce are still doing their best to live as “normally” as two people under scrutiny can: On Friday night, the couple was discovered at Lucali, a cash-only pizza restaurant in Brooklyn known for its tightly edited menu Even without insider information, I feel it’s safe to predict that we’ll be seeing Swift in the stands (and the pair out) in the next few weeks, as the Eras Tour is on hiatus until Friday, October 18, then continues its final leg with a series of shows in Miami.
