Dark truth about why Taylor Swift really hid behind that bulletproof screen at Travis Kelce’s game… as insiders tell of ‘totally screwed up’ and ‘legitimate’ new threat

by

As someone who keeps a close eye on pop culture and lifestyle trends, I remember a time when Taylor Swift’s presence at her boyfriend’s NFL games was *the* talk of the town. It got to the point where people worried she’d draw all the attention away from the actual football! Picture this: she’d arrive with a big group, including her mom and future mother-in-law, Donna Kelce, and it was a whole scene. It was definitely a moment where everyone was watching *her* as much as, if not more than, the game.

Sunday’s appearance was much more low-key. The singer was kept hidden behind a protective screen, thought to be bulletproof, as she arrived at Arrowhead Stadium to watch Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs play the Philadelphia Eagles.

Footage revealed security staff rapidly deploying a large screen to shield Taylor Swift, 35, as she entered Arrowhead Stadium without being seen.

The video, along with the fact that no photos surfaced of Taylor Swift in her usual VIP box, quickly led to rumors. The biggest question everyone was asking: was she concealing a pregnancy?

Even the Chiefs players knew security would be extra tight at the game, but no one told them the reason.

Now, insiders have told the Daily Mail the full story.

Following the recent murder of Charlie Kirk, tensions have noticeably risen in the days leading up to the game, according to one source.

According to a source, if someone was going to respond in kind to Charlie Kirk, Taylor would make sense as the person to do it. They used a protective barrier to keep her safe, something typically reserved for the President or other high-profile figures, but this week was unusual.

Last Wednesday, 31-year-old conservative activist Kirk was shot and killed by a gunman while giving a speech at Utah Valley University.

Taylor Swift is publicly known for her liberal political views and has supported the Democratic candidates in both the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections.

Just two weeks before he passed away, Kirk mentioned Taylor Swift and her recent engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who is 35 years old.

He stated he hoped Taylor Swift would become more conservative, and suggested she should be submissive to her future husband.

Kirk sparked controversy by suggesting the athlete could change Taylor Swift’s political views, joking he could transform her from someone seen as focused on cats to a supporter of J.D. Vance.

Taylor Swift was reportedly deeply shaken by the public killing of Kirk. Combined with her existing concerns about stalking, this has led her team to prioritize her safety and take extra precautions.

According to a source close to Taylor, she’s worried because she’s previously received hateful mail from extremist groups. The recent murder of Charlie and past issues with stalkers have led her to significantly increase her security. She’s now keeping her schedule very private, sharing it only with a small, trusted group of people.

After publicly supporting Kamala Harris over Donald Trump, she became a target of extremist far-right groups, and authorities are taking serious threats against her very seriously. They are prioritizing her safety and not taking any risks.

Last August, Taylor Swift was targeted in a failed terror attack while in Vienna, Austria, causing her to cancel three shows from her ‘Eras’ tour. She later admitted the event left her feeling unusually afraid.

As someone who follows trends and community events, I was deeply saddened to hear about the terrible tragedy in Southport, England. Just days ago, three young girls lost their lives in a horrific attack while attending a dance class celebrating Taylor Swift – it’s a heartbreaking event that’s shaken so many of us.

Swift has also found herself the target of multiple male stalkers.

Taylor Swift recently obtained a restraining order against Jason Brain Wagner from Colorado. He had repeatedly emailed her and showed up at her Los Angeles home on several occasions.

Over the years, she’s received disturbing threats of rape and murder from stalkers, and some have even attempted to break into her home in New York.

It’s understandable that these incidents have put Swift on high alert, especially since she’s previously shared that she carries QuikClot – a powerful bandage typically used for gunshot or stab wounds – with her at all times.

She explained that after experiencing repeated home invasions, she began preparing for the possibility of further dangerous incidents, as she stated in 2019.

Taylor Swift’s father, 73-year-old Scott Swift, shared her concern for safety. He was so worried about his daughter after she publicly supported two Democratic candidates in Tennessee in late 2018 that he actually purchased armored vehicles.

Taylor Swift publicly supported Kamala Harris last September, which led to a response from Donald Trump. He stated he wasn’t a fan of Swift and suggested she might face negative consequences as a result.

The president later went so far as to say that he ‘hates’ her. 

Given the highly polarized political climate and the intense public interest in her life, Taylor Swift reportedly prioritizes her safety and privacy, according to those close to her.

According to another source, she took these safety measures because of the current unstable state of the world. She wants to protect not just herself, but also the people around her.

She’s always been careful and had security with her, so increasing those precautions now is just her normal practice – she’s not willing to risk anything at this point.
