Taylor Swift did not attend fiancé Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs away game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday night, September 21. The singer, who owns property in nearby New York City, was not seen at the venue.

Why Taylor Swift did not attend the away game

Swift missing Kelce’s away matches is not unusual. According to Page Six, she avoided all away games last season and only showed up at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. A source told the outlet in October 2023 that her attendance depends heavily on security: “She’s not going anywhere unless she knows the venue intimately, and it has been thoroughly scouted and secured in advance.”

Heightened security around Taylor Swift’s stadium visits

Swift has remained cautious about her public appearances. The Daily Mail recently reported that her team is “not taking any chances” with safety in the current climate. Last week, social media users spotted her seemingly arriving at Arrowhead Stadium shielded by a bulletproof moving barrier, the first time she managed to enter without being photographed at a Chiefs home game.

Part of the reason for Swift’s low profile this week is her upcoming project. She is gearing up for the October 3 release of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, and its companion release party film.

Swift’s plans to support Travis Kelce

Despite skipping the MetLife matchup, Swift remains enthusiastic about supporting Kelce during the NFL season. People reported in June that she hopes to attend more games now that the Eras Tour has wrapped. “Her schedule is much more open now,” a source told the magazine, adding that she is “genuinely excited to have the time and flexibility to show up for Travis more consistently.”

The insider also highlighted how the couple is embracing a calmer routine: “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.”
