While the Chiefs’ 2024 season replicated the previous year’s success, Swift was a less consistent presence in the stands. This time, the issue was sometimes the tour, which ended in December, but an increase in security concerns was likely also to blame.
Her safety worries aren’t anything to sniff at. Above and beyond the threats from troubled fans that many famous folks face, Swift was the target of a credible terrorist threat last summer. Since then, President Donald Trump has announced that he hates her, and Elon Musk, the alleged brains and power behind the Trump throne, has creepily offered to impregnate her and has spread a false and altered image of Swift making a white supremacist gesture.
Given all that, you can see why Swift has restricted her game-day attendance this season to matches the Chiefs play at home, where her security team knows the lay of the land. But all that will change on February 9, when the Chiefs attempt to be the first team ever to win three Super Bowls in a row.
According to Page Six, Swift’s attendance has been confirmed to the publication, though no official announcement has been made. (Vanity Fair reached out to a Swift representative for comment, but has not received a response as of publication time.) If correct, this will be Swift’s first non-Arrowhead game this season, as well as her first visit to the Superdome since October, when her tour played three shows in the arena.
Keeping Swift safe when she’s the main event is one thing, but securing the singer in the melee of the Super Bowl is another. But according to Kelce, the folks tasked to protect her are the best in the business. “If I would have pushed him, he probably would have turned around and tased me,” Kelce said in 2023 after onlookers suggested he’d butted up against her security team. “They’re great, they’re great, they’re good people.”
