Taylor Swift is keeping a low profile during Travis Kelce’s 2025-2026 NFL season, in part to avoid “too much attention” on her. Taylor Swift attends home games, but sneaks into Arrowhead Stadium without being photographed or photographed. Sources, and even Swift, have given insight into her decision to fly under the radar at Chiefs games.
During Travis Kelce’s 2023 and 2024 NFL seasons, Taylor Swift was often seen at home games at Arrowhead Stadium. The singer arrived and was often photographed showing off that week’s Kansas City Chiefs red outfit.
The singer has been attending Kelce’s home games this year as well, but he is keeping a low profile. She was rarely seen during game broadcasts and entered the stadium in Kansas City, Missouri without being photographed or photographed.
There are some good reasons why she’s relatively low profile at home games and missing most of the away games. That’s all we know about her decision.
Taylor Swift arrives at a Chiefs game in September 2024.
In October 2025, a source told Us Weekly that Swift plans to keep a low profile for the 2025-2026 season in order to draw less attention to herself.
Ahead of his fiance’s 2025 NFL season, Swift has chosen to keep a low profile because the attention has become “too much,” a source said.
Earlier in the year, a source told the outlet that Swift and Kelsea had decided to keep their relationship more private for similar reasons. A source said in April: “Taylor and Travis have learned that it’s not best for their relationship to be in the spotlight.”
Swift spoke in October about how skilled he is at getting in and out of buildings without anyone noticing.
In an interview with BBC Radio 2’s Scott Mills, the singer teased that his best skill as a spy is “getting in and out of buildings without anyone seeing me. Put me in a bin, roll me around, don’t worry about it. Honestly, I can fit in at least my wallet. Sometimes I just can’t handle it (paparazzi and attention), but then I just don’t deal with it. I just dig a tunnel under every building I go in and airlift it in.” Enter through the skylight. ”
The comment came after she watched part of Kelce’s home game without anyone noticing.
In December 2023, Swift said she never tried to appear on camera during Kelce’s games.
From the beginning of his relationship with Kelce, Swift did not try to take his attention away from his football game. In a December 2023 interview with Time magazine, she explained, “I’m just there to support Travis. I’m not aware of whether I’m getting too visible and upsetting some of the dads, Brad and Chad.”
She added that she couldn’t understand why broadcasters always found her at the stadium. “I don’t know how they know which suite I’m in,” she said. “There’s a camera about half a mile away, but I don’t know where it is, and I don’t know when it’s showing you on the air. So I don’t know if it’s showing me 17 times or once.”
In her song “Wi$h Li$t” from The Life of a Showgirl, Swift hinted that her real dream was privacy while settling into life with Kelsey.
In “Wi$h Li$t,” Swift sang about how much she wanted a private life with Kelsey, especially off the field. The chorus continues: “All I want is you / A few kids / The whole block looks like you / We tell the world to leave us alone…and they do / Wow / I was dreaming of a driveway / With a basketball hoop / Boss, calm down.”
She told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe that Kelce was the inspiration for the song. “When I met Travis, I started to feel like maybe I could be someone who could have romantic whims and dreams.” Despite the cheeky lyrics, the chorus is “very sincere,” she said.
“I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie ‘Happy Gilmore,’ but he has a happy place where he goes into a utopia, which is exactly what he wants, and it’s a place he mentally escapes to in times of stress, pressure, anxiety, confusion,” she said. “And the chorus of that song is just me describing my happy place.”
Swift’s safety is another main reason why she missed most of Kelce’s away games.
When Swift supports a partner, safety comes first. She regularly attends Kelce’s home games, but did not attend any away games this season or last season.
One source cited security as the main reason, telling Page Six in October 2024, “She knows the venue very well and won’t go anywhere unless it’s been thoroughly scouted and made safe beforehand.” Swift’s team is naturally most familiar with Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Chiefs.
However, the star has appeared in the last two Super Bowls, playing at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada in 2024 and cheering on Kelce at the Chiefs’ game at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans (2025). She also attended his AFC Championship games both years. The 2024 game was the only away game in Baltimore.
