The Reason Taylor Swift Missed Travis Kelce’s Game Against the New York Giants

THE RUNDOWN

• Taylor Swift wasn’t seen at Travis Kelce’s away game against the New York Giants this evening.
• Swift went to the Kansas City Chiefs’ home game last week, but was not photographed there.
• The star is gearing up to release The Life of a Showgirl and its release party film on October 3.

Taylor Swift sneakily attended Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs’ home game against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. But tonight, the singer missed the Chiefs’ away game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. She was not spotted there as the teams began playing at 8:20 P.M.

While Swift has property in nearby New York City, the star has been out of the limelight this week as she prepares to release her album The Life of a Showgirl and its release party film on October 3. Kelce arrived on his own earlier in the evening in a three-piece suit:

Swift missing Kelce’s away games isn’t unusual. She didn’t attend any all last season. Last October, a source explained to Page Six that she had only been attending Arrowhead Stadium games for security reasons: “She’s not going anywhere unless she knows the venue intimately, and it has been thoroughly scouted and secured in advance.”

Even last week during Kelce’s game at Arrowhead Stadium, Swift took extra precautions. Footage of her seemingly arriving behind a bulletproof moving barrier spread on social media, marking the first time Swift has publicly attended a home game without being photographed. On September 16, a source explained to The Daily Mail that her team isn’t “taking any chances” with her safety given the current climate.

Swift is still very excited for her fiancé’s NFL season. In June, a source told People that she was looking forward to attending more games since she isn’t on tour. “Her schedule is much more open now that the Eras Tour is wrapped, and she’s genuinely excited to have the time and flexibility to show up for Travis more consistently,” the insider detailed.

“Taylor plans to be at as many of his games as possible,” the source added. “They’ve both had such demanding schedules for so long, so having this stretch of time where things aren’t quite as chaotic feels like a welcome change.”
