Taylor Swift works out cunning plan to dodge TV cameras at Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games
On Sunday, when the Chiefs lost to the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium, Swift was only shown briefly in her VIP suite enjoying the game. She had some famous friends with her too, such as Leonardo Di Caprio and Selena Gomez.
But the singer has gone to significant lengths to avoid the NFL spotlight. As popular as Swift is around the world, she has at times appeared frustrated at what she described as ‘Brads and Chads’ being unhappy with how much attention the pop star was getting during football shows.
Now, according to Front Office Sports, Swift has managed to work out the specific areas of her suite where it is hardest for cameras to spot her cheering Kelce on.
‘There are areas within suites where people like Swift who are keenly aware of TV cameras can avoid them,’ the report says.

‘For example, Hailee Steinfeld, the singer and actress who is married to star Bills quarterback Josh Allen, is never shown at his games.’
There are other aspects that have contributed to the coverage around Swift at Chiefs games, too.
Kelce’s VIP suite has moved this season, a switch that helps Swift enter the stadium without being spotted.
A Chiefs season ticket holder whose seat was near Kelce’s old suite told the Kansas City Star in January this year that the move would likely have been to do with security measures.
‘We ended up with like eight Jackson County Sheriffs down there, and over 18 Arrowhead security (members), and they still couldn’t handle it,’ Pam Hatcher told the publication about the crowd rush when Swift would attend.
As for the new suite, Hatcher said: ‘You only can get to it from the elevators and you only can get to it from the club level.
‘After she sat in our section at 121, she moved directly to 119 in that same suite she’s been there ever since. It’s much better. Everybody’s calmed down about it.’
For the first Chiefs home game of the season, Swift arrived at Arrowhead behind a black screen which prevented her picture from being taken.
