Since vocalist Taylor Swift's relationship with NFL tight end Travis Kelce went public last fall, the world has actually tuned in to view Kansas City Chiefs video games not just for the group's winning methods, however to capture a peek at the star in the legally odd mix of very public (not like the glass on those VIP boxes is cops interrogation-style mirrored!) and personal (who amongst us hasn't lost our grace while viewing a liked one complete?) situations. Throughout the 2023-2024 season, members of the Chiefs company would sometimes let it slip when they understood the vocalist would be heading to a video game– however do not anticipate that this time around, as increased issues over security have actually made Taylor Swift's video game participation a strictly-guarded trick.
That's not to state that Swift ever made her strategies to strike a video game specifically public. Her group has actually been significantly tight-lipped about her travel plan, hardly ever reacting to ask for talk about how she invests her time when not carrying out in her relatively relentless Eras Tour. Kelce acknowledged that media blackout in 2015, stating then that as upticks in his on-field efficiency had actually been connected to Swift in package, keeping her ticket status quiet was a method to stymie bookies setting chances for a video game.
Those worries appear charming nowadays, a month after Austrian authorities warded off prepare for a horror attack throughout Swift's three-night Eras Tour dates at Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium. The vocalist, who has actually handled risks and stalkers given that the earliest days of her popularity, stated that the supposed terrorists' foiled strategies “filled me with a brand-new sense of worry.” According to participants of subsequent performances, places showed an increased security existence following the aborted attack in Vienna, and no reliable risks versus the vocalist and her fans have actually been revealed in the weeks given that.
According to the New York Postthat upped security reaches any Chiefs video game that Swift will participate in, a step that puts any loose-lipped folks on the NFL side of things out of Swift's favor. The Post indicate The Athletic's anonymously sourced scoop today that Swift would be at the Chiefs' opening season video game versus the Baltimore Ravens– which she was, as all of us understand– as an example of precisely the type of leakages Team Taylor is attempting to prevent.
“She has presidential-level security,” an unnamed source informs the Post“After Austria, her security company is not too delighted that her location are out.” According to that source, “there is speculation that the NFL group dripped the news, maybe to draw more audiences to Thursday's huge video game.” (Vanity Fair reached out to Swift's group to validate the Post‘s reporting, however did not get an action since publication time.)
If real, the tactic worked. According to ESPN, today's Chiefs video game was he most-watched NFL kickoff video game because Thursday night football started in 2002.
